How to design a reliable artificial ice rink refrigeration system | Hstarschiller.com

 Nowadays, as the increasing economy of peoples life, more and more people are in need of ice rink . Therefore, many engineer company is worried about designing a best ice rink refrigeration system with reliability and energy efficient goal. Here are some best suggestions for you before you build an ice rink. Better take a look and it will help you save your time and money.

1. Refrigeration system features

The refrigeration system of indoor ice skating rink usually adopts two refrigeration methods:
1) Direct expansion and indirect cooling. Direct expansion adopts condensing unit;
2) Indirect cooling adopts\screw type low-temperature chiller, Glycol is used as a refrigerant to form ice on the rink. At present, uses indirect cooling methods is more popular in the ice rink market. The cooling host should select more than two, one of which can meet the cooling under normal load conditions. When the conditions are relatively bad or the operating host needs to be repaired, the other one can replace the operating host to work.
The unit can increase heating recovery devices, use condensation heat provide to the ice rink and Heating and melting ice crumbs under the floor. The brine pipe network usually uses low carbon seamless steel pipe with a size of 38mm * 3.5mm or a thin-walled polymer pipe with a diameter of 25mm, and the spacing between pipes is about 89~102mm. In order to ensure the smoothness of ice surface, usually used the support to make the pipe network level and fix its position.


In order to make the coolant evenly distributed in the pipe, the size of the collector tube is generally selected bigger so that the brine can pass through low speed and evenly enter each tube. Brine circulation system should adopt closed cycle to reduce pipeline corrosion. besides, the expansion tank should be set up to suit the change of brine volume with temperature.

2. Calculation of refrigeration load in ice field
The artificial ice load is divided into initial freezing load and maintaining load. Generally, it is based on experience and measured data. Load calculation methods include empirical data method, chart method, sub item calculation method, etc.

3. Type selection of refrigerating mainframe
The hardness of the ice surface determines its hardness. Generally speaking, the hardness of the ice surface at -5 degree can meet the requirements. To meet the requirements of ice temperature -5 C, the ethylene glycol solution in pipe of the ice field is set at -15 C.
At present, “Hstars” brand has water cooled screw-type low temperature water chiller and air-cooled screw-type low temperature water chiller can choose, also be used without the standard selection of water pump and expansion water tank. it can work immediately at site after Connect pipe and electricity, It can also increase the heat recovery device, make the hot water at the same time, that will improve the economic efficiency.

4.  Air conditioning design for indoor artificial ice field


4.1.Special problems to be considered in air conditioning design of indoor ice skating rink

1. Summer indoor air conditioning design is suitable for dry bulb temperature and
relative humidity.。
2. Air conditioning design should avoid condensate formation on the inner surface of the roof or ceiling
3. When the skating rink doubles as another ball game or training, the air conditioning system design and airflow organization of the indoor skating rink should also meet the requirements for the use of other functions.
4. should make full use of the amount of cooling that is distributed in indoor ice rinks

4.2  Air conditioning professional requirements for civil design

1. In the civil construction must have good thermal insulation measures
2. Enclosure structure should choose insulation materials with good insulation properties and low water absorption, and pay attention to the level of the gas barrier.
3.   From the viewpoint of energy conservation and prevention of condensation, the windows on the walls should be made of aluminum alloy double-glazed windows.
4.   Special measures to be considered in the design of air conditioning systems

5.  Prevent condensation on the roof or ceiling Common technical measures:
(1)The ceiling of the ceiling is made of aluminum sheet metal.
(2) Increase the surface temperature of the ceiling or roof.
(3) Indoor set dehumidification device or air conditioning system
6. Eliminating ice fog
Use the following technical measures to eliminate ice fog
(1)Reduce indoor wetness.
(2) Send air to the ice.
(3) A dehumidifier or an air-conditioning unit (independent air-conditioning unit with a chiller) is installed in the indoor rink to dehumidify the indoor air and reduce the dew point temperature of the indoor air.

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...

Ways and solutions of noise produced by chillers - www.oumalchiller.com

  It is inevitable that the chiller will produce sound when it is working. For example, when the fan rotates, the fan blades rub against the air, it will produce sound. Normal sound is allowed. However, even the sophisticated refrigeration equipment will appear after a long period of use. Fault. Then, the editor of   Oumal Chiller   will take you to understand the causes and solutions of the noise produced by the chiller. First, find the reason from the parts that are easy to check and observe: 1. Are the anchor screws loose? The chiller is fixed on the ground. After running for a long time, the anchor bolts will be loose, and the chiller will be unstable, which will cause noise. This situation can be solved by replacing the anchor bolts, and vibration reduction can also be installed if conditions permit. The purpose is to make the chiller firmly fixed on the ground. 2. Whether the connecting pipeline is firm There are large and small pipes on the chiller, connecting the ...

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...
