The Challenge
Controlling Humidity & Air Quality in an Ice Rink
During the design of the air handling system for Humo Arena in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, engineers faced a critical issue: maintaining optimal temperature (7-12ºC) and humidity levels (40-50% RH) within the ice court zone.
Traditional condensation-based dehumidification proved ineffective and cost-prohibitive at such low temperatures. The project team needed a more energy-efficient and technically feasible solution to maintain high-quality ice conditions while ensuring air purity and CO₂ control.
The Solution
DA-10000 Desiccant Dehumidifier & Ventilation System
DT Group engineers collaborated with project specialists to develop a custom industrial dehumidification system that integrated ventilation, humidity control, heating, and cooling into a single air handling unit (AHU).
- Desiccant Dehumidification Technology – The system efficiently removes excess moisture without relying on condensation.
- Integrated Air Handling & Climate Control – Combines heating, cooling, and return air mixing adjustment for precise environmental control.
- Energy-Efficient Dual-Stage Regeneration – Utilizes water heating (60°C) and electric heating (90-100°C) to reduce operational costs.
- CO₂ Level Monitoring – Ensures a safe and comfortable environment for skaters and spectators.
Key Features of the DA-10000 Ice Rink Dehumidification System
- Maintains optimal humidity levels, preventing fogging and condensation.
- Improves ice quality and durability, reducing maintenance requirements.
- Ensures fresh air supply and CO₂ control, enhancing indoor air quality.
- Fully autonomous system, factory-equipped with advanced sensors, dampers, actuators, and control valves for seamless operation.
The Results
Superior Ice Rink Conditions & Cost Savings
With the DA-10000 industrial desiccant dehumidifier, Humo Arena successfully:
- Achieved stable humidity and temperature control, preventing excess moisture buildup.
- Improved ice surface quality, reducing maintenance needs.
- Lowered energy consumption through hybrid water-electric regeneration technology.
- Provided a comfortable and healthy environment for athletes and visitors.
By integrating industrial desiccant dehumidification, ice rinks can reduce operating costs, enhance air quality, and maintain professional-grade ice conditions year-round.
