Problem P. 4720. (March 2015)

P. 4720. The operation of the demister is the following: a fan blows the air towards a cooled surface, and the condensed water vapour is collected in a container. How much heat is given off to the air in the room by the demister, rated at 180 W, in 15 hours, if it collected 4 litres of water? The temperature of the room is \(\displaystyle 25~{}^\circ\)C.

If the demister is considered to be a heat pump, what is its coefficient of performance (the ratio of the released heat to the electrical energy consumed)?
