Twenty-five water-to-air heat pumps 2,000,000 are used for the heating and cooling, six water-to-water heat pumps are used Heating Capacity to maintain ice temperature; one waterCooling Capacity 1,500,000 to-water heat pump is used to preheat Available Heat Recovery domestic hot water via a heat exchanger; and another heat pump is used for the 1,000,000 dehumidification. Heat pump systems offer the advantage of moving energy from one zone to another. Most arenas use chillers with stan500,000 dard condensers to produce and maintain the ice. The extracted heat is rejected outside through air condensers. 0 Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov. Dec. In this project, rejected heat is reused as much as possible. A network of heating and cooling loops was built to Figure 1: No heat recovery on exhaust for outside air heating. satisfy the specific needs of each zone. Heat pumps produce chilled water circulating under the slab of the rink 2,000,000 to maintain the temperature of the ice. The heat rejected from the heat pumps Heating Capacity is combined to the geothermal loop Cooling Capacity 1,500,000 and is rejected in two hot water loops.

Most of the arena’s heating load is met by rejected heat from the mechanical cooling used 0 Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov. Dec. to maintain the ice. Two enthalpy wheels were installed on the ventilation units, allowing for the Figure 2: Heat recovery on exhaust for outside air heating. recovery of latent and sensible energy usually lost in exhaust air from the locker rooms and other baseUsually, the chilled water network underneath the ice is ment rooms. These wheels were sized to allow low velocities a two-pass system. The loop covers the entire length of the (around 2.03 m/s [400 fpm]), enhancing heat exchange for a ice rink twice. Since every pass is 61 m (200 ft), the loop global efficiency of 76%. length is 122 m (400 ft), necessitating 130 loops to cover The energy simulations provide interesting figures on the the surface of the ice. For this arena, a five-pass system was potential energy saving of the thermal wheel heat exchanger chosen. This decision reduces refrigerant flow more than (Figures 1 and 2). 50%, which also reduces required pumping energy.

The refrigerant used is water/methanol sors control fresh air, limiting the quantity of fresh air required (75/25), which has a lower viscosity than glycol, reducing without affecting air quality for the occupants. the required pumping energy. Another means to reduce the ventilation requirement is the The arena includes a cold storage mass made up of approxiuse of a new type of ice surfacing machine.
