4500 boxes of apples were stored in a 15m x 12m x 4m cold store over 18 days, with 250 boxes introduced each day at 30°C. The cooling system must maintain a temperature of under 2.5°C for 16 hours per day, with ambient conditions of 35°C and 50% RH, accounting for the thermal load of the walls, lights, workers and forklift, as well as a 10% safety factor.

15m×12m×4m. The apple introduces to the store at 30C with an average of 250 boxes every day for 18 days. - The walls consist of 100 mm fiber glass with 25 mm wood plates for each side. - The ambient conditions are 35C and 50% RH.
- Neglect the thermal load from the floor.
- Average weight for each box is 25 kg.
- The light power is 500 W and it operates for 4 hrs.
- Two persons and forklift with 4.17 kW work in the store for 4 hrs.
Calculate the cooling capacity of the system, if the operation hours is 16 hrs and safety factor is 10%.
