A house-hold refrigerator operates under steady state condition between an evaporator temperature of 263 K and a condenser temperature of 323 K. The heat load to the refrigerator is 3 kW. The actual COP of the refrigerator is half of that of a Carnot refrigerator operating between the same condenser and evaporator temperatures. The power required (in kW) to run the refrigerator is ___________.
