If you’re a hockey fan, you might remember the 2017 NHL controversy over poor ice conditions in hockey arenas around the country. Holes, slush, and other on-ice nuisances generated unplayable gaming environments, delaying and postponing games to the dismay of the league, players, and fans. These frustrating events drew attention to an integral part of a well-performing ice rink: the refrigeration system.

Since these events, ice rink chiller systems have gained much attention – and deservedly so. These low-temp industrial-grade systems are essential for creating favorable skating conditions for hockey, figure skating, and other ice sports by maintaining the correct humidity levels and ice temperatures while preventing problem-causing leaks.

If you’re looking for an ice rink chiller to delight the skaters at your facility, your decision will make or break their experience. So, we’ve developed this helpful article with the most important factors to consider when selecting the ideal system for perfect skating conditions.

Chiller Fluid: Which Type for Year-Round Operation?

Low-Temp Chiller Fluid

If you’re operating dairy or medical equipment, a brewery, or an industrial process year-round, the right chiller fluid can ensure reliable performance no matter the season. The wrong fluid can result in refrigeration problems in the colder months, compromising chiller performance and reducing uptime. When you need an all-season low-temp chiller, these five types of chiller fluids are ideally suited for year-round operation:

  1. Propylene glycol and water mixture (10-60%)
  2. Ethylene glycol and water mixture (10-60%)
  3. Dynalene HC-10 to HC-50
  4. Calcium chloride solution

Continue reading to discover more about these low-temp chiller fluids that can maximize uptime all year-round.
