HDPE collectors are an innovative and sustainable solution for recovering heat generated by refrigeration systems in ice rinks. These systems help reduce energy waste, optimize building performance, and lower operating costs—especially in energy-intensive environments like ice stadiums.
An ice stadium (or ice rink) is a temperature-controlled environment where refrigeration systems maintain a surface suitable for skating and hockey. The process involves:
This process generates a large amount of thermal energy, much of which is traditionally dispersed into the atmosphere—resulting in high energy costs and inefficiencies.
The heat that escapes from a refrigeration system like the one found in ice rinks can be recovered. We just have to install specific systems to recover the residual heat, which can thus be converted into thermal energy and reused for other purposes.
When applied in ice arenas, Rariplast’s HDPE collectors are used to conduct the thermal energy resulting from refrigeration. You may be wondering: how can this heat be recycled? For example, it can be used to heat the water in the building’s plumbing system.
This can achieve considerable savings in terms of money and, above all, energy. In fact, the initial investment, which can be amortised over the years, corresponds to a saving of approximately 500 m3 of gas.
Finally, let’s not overlook the environmental benefits of using HDPE collectors, which represent an ecological and sustainable choice.
Choosing HDPE collectors means opting for:
This makes HDPE collectors a smart choice for any ice stadium looking to align with green building standards and reduce its carbon footprint.
Our company has spent years producing HDPE collectors, as well as those for heat recovery, such as:
These can all be produced according to the client’s specific instructions.
