Management of Moisture in the Ice Rink
The laws of physics state that moisture in the air always tends to move from higher concentration to lower concentration because of the difference in the vapor pressure. Hence it is given that any surface that is relatively lower in temperature will create condensation of the vapor more than the surface with higher temperatures.

Due to this ice rinks face a unique challenge of moisture condensation as they have significantly lower temperatures than any other surfaces around the surrounding. Many ice arenas face the problem of moisture getting deposited in the form of water droplets and fog which can really be problematic as it can cause accidents. The process of moisture getting accumulated in the ice surface is known as frosting. Frosting puts an unnecessary load on the ice-making system. Unlike many common beliefs, the problem cannot be sorted out with the help of ventilation systems. Actually, the air from the outside environment will add to the pre-existing problems.
We have to consider a closed ice skating rink as a large fridge which will create various problems due to condensation. Dripping water droplets from the ceiling create ice puddles and irregularities and increase the risk of players getting injured. The experience of skating in such ice rinks is not pleasant as misting only aggravates the situation. Regular condensation also contributes to the mold development in the surrounding making the buildings metal objects vulnerable to the rust. The paintings on the premises also get adversely affected. The damage due to corrosion can simply be too much for the management team. Preventive action must be taken before it is too late. A proper dehumidification system is the best solution to get rid of such problems. It will help the ice rink to run economically and safely for a long period of time.
Choose whatever suits you the best: mobile or stationary dehumidifiers for the ice rinks
Desiccant dehumidifiers are the best option for dehumidification in the ice rinks compared to the condensation dehumidifiers. Our desiccant dehumidifiers are highly effective and capable of dehumidifying 8200 cubic meters of the volume of air in an hour. These devices are capable of dehumidifying even the large ice arenas.
Hose system for dehumidification for the indoor ice rink’s ceiling
In the large ice-skating rink it will be a good idea to install a hose system that supplies dry air in the ceiling that readily keeps the air dry. Our company provides the best air hose system to supply dry air in addition to our dehumidifiers. Along with the air hose system our various monitoring devices will help to monitor the climatic condition of the environment more clearly. These data loggers can be integrated with the HVAC systems to get the best-desired results.
