Energo effectiveness

To maintain ice for hockey hall, there is need for certain amount of power that is provided by freezing equipment. In order to save energy resources we repeatedly utilise generated heat (sub product of cold production process in freezing equipment).

The utilisation of sub product (heat) is needed to keep appropriate climate in ice rink, built-in air dryer that provides the necessary level of humidity (40-50%) as well as for air-condition in whole building. For this purpose cold is taken from reverse motion of flow's carrier of cold.

There is installed simple heat recovery system in TUKO. As a result heat from ice maintenance equipment is utilised. Approximately only 10% of heat is necessary for warming ground of ice rink. It is important process to prevent spoilage of cold isolation. The rest (90%) of heat is not utilised.

We propose a solution how to utilise the rest of heat. To our mind, the most appropriate solution is to utilise heat for warming water in swimming pool. It is not enough with the amount of recovered heat to maintain the necessary temperature of swimming pool's water. In case pool's area is more than 400 m3 (4 paths by 25 m length), we can do without condenser and to chill ice maintenance equipment by pool's water.
