Students witnessed a unique event – the ice resurfacing process at the new Ice Palace of the Black Sea Fleet, built in collaboration with PROSTOR.
Fourth-year architecture students from Sevastopol State University were the first visitors to the newly completed facility. This visit will assist them in their coursework, as their current assignment focuses on the design of sports facilities.
The Ice Palace features an energy-efficient system that maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels within the rink. This is achieved through the combined operation of the ice arena’s refrigeration unit and a climate control system integrated into the air conditioning system.
PROSTOR manufactures specialized climate-adapted equipment for southern regions of Russia and international markets, designed to function in outdoor temperatures exceeding 40°C and high humidity conditions. The training hockey complex in Sevastopol is equipped with state-of-the-art systems, allowing year-round hockey training without interruptions.
During test trials in August, with high outdoor temperatures, the ice arena successfully maintained an indoor air temperature of +10°C with 42% relative humidity, preventing fog formation over the ice surface.
In addition to meeting the requirements for operation in hot climates, PROSTOR has also accounted for coastal environmental factors. The outdoor condenser unit features a specialized anti-corrosion coating, protecting it from salt exposure in the air, significantly extending the lifespan and efficiency of the equipment.
