ICE RINK – ANGOULEME
Country of installation 🇫🇷
Angoulême (Charente) – France
The operator of the ice rink located near Angoulême upgraded the refrigeration system of the facility in order to ensure reliable ice production and improve the overall energy efficiency of the installation.
Ice rinks require continuous refrigeration to maintain the ice surface at the correct temperature and guarantee optimal skating conditions. For this reason, the refrigeration plant plays a crucial role in maintaining stable thermal conditions beneath the ice slab.
The installation developed by Enex Technologies provides the cooling capacity required to support the ice rink operations throughout the skating season, ensuring stable performance during both public sessions and sports activities.
Site Description
The ice rink is part of a leisure and sports complex serving the metropolitan area of Angoulême. The facility hosts recreational skating sessions, sports training and community events, welcoming visitors from the surrounding region.
The refrigeration system removes heat from the ice slab through a secondary coolant circuit circulating in pipes embedded beneath the skating surface. This configuration ensures uniform temperature distribution and consistent ice thickness across the rink.
Refrigeration System
The refrigeration solution installed by Enex Technologies is designed to guarantee stable ice conditions while optimizing energy performance.
The system ensures:
- reliable cooling capacity for ice production
- stable thermal conditions under the ice slab
- consistent ice surface quality
- efficient operation during continuous use of the rink
This configuration allows the facility operator to maintain high-quality skating conditions while improving the overall efficiency of the refrigeration installation.
