Ice Rink Refrigeration Systems

Portable means that the refrigerated rink can be disconnected and stored away.

Ice rink refrigeration systems.

The wide range of standard ice rink chillers consists of two compressor units for single rinks and three compressor units for double rinks. Instead the refrigerant cools brinewater which is an anti freeze agent that is pumped through pipes underneath the ice. For total chilling solutions. Our basic rink designs will keep ice for as long as it is under 50 degrees f.

How do ice rink refrigeration systems work. Today s recreational ice facilities demand the highest standards when it comes to engineering ice rink refrigeration systems. To exceed stakeholder s expectations and meet government regulatory compliance recreation ice facilities look to berg chilling systems inc. Ice rink refrigeration systems work on the same principles as your refrigerator.

To freeze the rink surface the system pumps 9 000 gallons 34 000 l of freezing brinewater through the pipes and then onto the ice bearing concrete slab. The main difference between ice rinks and refrigerators or air conditioners is that the refrigerant doesn t cool the ice directly. Ice rinks m m refrigeration s series of packaged ice rink chillers are based on our well known reciprocating compressors high efficiency evaporators with flooded surge drum and m m system s ice rink control system ircs. The chilled pipes keep the ice chilled below freezing by imparting their cold temperature to the pipes and then to the ice.

The maintenance team sets the refrigeration system s temperature manually based on indoor and outdoor temperatures. For days that go beyond the system will easily recover when the cold comes back under 50 f. Has been designing and building ice rink refrigeration systems since 1979. The greenmachine will reduce both your costs and your carbon footprint.

With over 37 years of dedicated experience within the industry rink tec is proud to be an industry expert sought out from coast to coast and in many countries throughout the world. Expert ice rink construction. Pipes under the skating surface carry super chilled salt water in a low pressure gaseous state. We stand behind our reputation.

Regardless of a given facility s location advances in refrigeration made within the past 10 years can translate into higher quality ice for rink users and more cost effective operation for rink owners. Green means low cost of operations and low impact on the environment.
