Ice rinks are a staple of public entertainment and sporting complexes worldwide. The introduction of the first man made ice rinks came with a need to keep the surface frozen while maintaining the integrity of the entire sheet. As technology and science advanced machinery and cooling chemicals were combined and used to pump through complex underground piping below the ice. The most common chemicals used in these applications are brine and glycol/water mixtures. The use of these foundation based temperature control systems allows for year round temperature control of the entire ice sheet. The ability to adjust the ice temperature through the chiller thermostat unit allows the ice sheet to be properly maintained at all times even with fluctuating ambient air conditions within the arena. The many factors that contribute to the ice conditions include ambient temperature, humidity, number of skaters, and the type of event being supported. Ice rink chiller applications are supported with large chiller units. Whaley products has the ability to provide reliable custom units to support and maintain any size arena.
