A refrigeration unit is a fully factory-assembled product that has undergone factory testing and is certified in accordance with applicable legislation. The container-type design is intended for installation and operation outdoors. An external air-cooled condenser is installed on the container’s installation site or on a separate metal structure and integrated into the technological cycle. If necessary, the container-type refrigeration unit can be equipped with a two-level decorative enclosure, featuring technological hatches and a retractable ladder for convenient operation and maintenance.
Advantages of using container-type refrigeration units:
The “SPORTCHILLED” units for ice rinks use semi-hermetic screw compressors, which are ideal for cooling systems in ice rinks due to their high efficiency, reliability, compactness, and light weight.
The main feature of the compressor is its innovative oil circulation system—the filter design allows for cartridge replacement in just a few minutes. The filter’s condition is monitored by a sensor, which will notify of any clogging in a timely manner.
The system is equipped with a valve that prevents oil from flowing into the intake chamber when the compressor stops, as well as a flow relay that automatically shuts down the compressor in case of emergency situations.
The refrigeration unit is fully automated and allows for controlling the operation of the cooling system by adjusting just a few operational parameters.
Data processing and system regulation are managed by the refrigeration machine’s automation, so only one operator per shift is required for maintenance.
Scheduled maintenance is carried out by a subcontractor according to an approved schedule.
The automation of the refrigeration system protects the electric motors from dangerous operating modes, reduces overall energy consumption, and ensures consistent operation hours of the equipment.
The unit is designed to maximize the technical capabilities of the closed refrigeration cycle to address the following auxiliary technological tasks:
The unit is equipped with inverter speed controllers for the compressors, pumps, and fans, programmed to automatically maintain optimal operating parameters, which helps reduce operating costs by 30-45%.
A satellite-type unit for simultaneous cooling of two ice rinks (a main and a training rink).
The automatic control system allows for efficient use of the load coincidence factor, leading to significant reductions in operating costs.
The rinks can be operated either simultaneously or independently.
A unit specifically designed for the southern regions of Russia.
It allows the equipment to operate at ambient temperatures above +35°C by using low-pressure refrigerants and custom-designed oil coolers.
A unit designed for regions with predominantly low ambient temperatures.
It allows significant energy savings by utilizing natural cold.
The unit is adapted to local climate conditions and includes the maximum configuration of optional equipment, with a system for controlling the temperature of the refrigeration slab and foundation heating through temperature sensors evenly distributed across the ice rink.
The system is equipped with a GSM modem for immediate notifications to maintenance staff and service personnel about potential emergency situations.
