Glycol Cooling Plant

The Glycol Cooling Plant is an essential component in the creation and maintenance of both permanent and temporary ice rinks. This sophisticated cooling system works by using a mixture of water and glycol, an antifreeze liquid, which is pumped through a network of pipes installed just below the surface of the rink. The glycol, when cooled to extremely low temperatures, absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, allowing the water above the track to freeze evenly.

This process ensures an ice surface that remains constant in temperature and quality, even in conditions of intensive use, such as during sports competitions or long skating sessions. The stability of the ice is crucial to avoid cracks, irregularities and other defects that could compromise the safety of skaters and the quality of the event.

Additionally, Glycol Chiller Plants are designed to be highly efficient, minimizing energy consumption and long-term operating costs. Thanks to the temperature adjustability of glycol, it is possible to customize the hardness and texture of the ice according to the specific requirements of the event or the preference of the users. This type of plant is particularly advantageous for installations which require a high degree of precision in climate control, ensuring an optimal skating experience at all times.
