The best way to solve problems at the maintenance of ice arenas and rinks

  • How to create an optimum indoor climate at ice arenas and skating rinks?
  • How to create and maintain a high-quality ice surface?
  • How to reduce maintenance costs of ice arenas and skating rinks?

In order to achieve all these goals, it is necessary to reach the optimum humidity at ice arenas and rinks!

The problems

of uncontrolled humidity

  1. Formation of mist / water vapor over the surface of the rink;

  2. Deterioration of quality of ice;

  3. Increase of maintenance costs;

  4. failures of electronic and electrical systems.

  5. Formation of condensed moisture on the inside walls and roof of the arena;

  6. Wet corrosion on the surface of metal constructions;

  7. Development of mildew and bacteria;

  8. Fogging of glass constructions and arena boards.

  9. Quicker deterioration of bearing constructions of arena or skating rink.

The best solution to these problems is to remove excessive moisture by dessicant method during maintenance of ice arenas and rinks. The acceptable relative humidity at ice arenas is between 30-50% depending on the air temperature.

This task is solved by desiccant dehumidifiers of Desiccant Technologies Group

The advantages

of desiccant dehumidifiers of Desiccant Technologies Group

  1. High drying efficiency at a low energy-consumption level.

  2. Efficient operation at low temperatures.

How does the desiccant dehumidifier work?

The air which should be dehumidified (process air) goes through the desiccant rotor. Water molecules are adsorbed in a special silicagel rotor. Desiccant rotor is regenerated by the second air stream preheated to 90-140 °C. Moisture is removed from the premises in the form of warm moist air.
