Humidity Control for Ice Arenas & Rinks

Discover how Vision Air Conditioning solves humidity and maintenance challenges for ice arenas with advanced desiccant dehumidifiers. Improve ice quality, lower costs, and extend building life.

Humidity Control and Maintenance for Ice Arenas & Rinks

Maintaining the perfect indoor climate is crucial for ice arenas and skating rinks. High humidity leads to poor ice quality, fogging, equipment failures, and costly maintenance. Vision Air Conditioning delivers tailored desiccant dehumidification solutions for these environments.

  • How to create an optimum indoor climate at ice arenas?
  • How to maintain high-quality ice surfaces?
  • How to reduce maintenance costs and avoid equipment failures?

Problem: Most indoor ice arenas struggle with excessive humidity due to outside air and evaporation from resurfacing. Moisture enters through ventilation systems, gaps, and doors, causing:

  • Mist or water vapor over the rink surface
  • Poor ice quality and increased costs
  • Condensation on walls, roof, and glass panels
  • Corrosion on metal constructions and boards
  • Growth of mildew and bacteria
  • Electrical system failures
  • Shortened lifespan of arena structures

Why Use Desiccant Dehumidifiers?

Desiccant dehumidifiers provide constant humidity control, ensuring relative humidity stays between 30-50% for optimal ice quality. Our industrial dehumidifiers remove excess moisture and deliver reliable performance at low temperatures.

  • High drying efficiency with low energy consumption
  • Operation at low arena temperatures
  • Compact, easy to install, and lightweight
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum zinc body
  • Fully automated humidity control
  • Compliant with EU and North American quality standards

Benefits of Installing Vision Air Conditioning Systems

  • Prevents mist and vapor formation above the ice
  • Improves ice quality and clarity
  • Prevents condensation on glass, boards, and structures
  • Protects metal from corrosion
  • Prevents mildew, bacteria, and mold growth
  • Prevents failures in electronic and electrical equipment
  • Reduces maintenance and energy costs
  • Extends the lifespan of building structures and equipment
  • Improves hygiene and safety for athletes and visitors

How Desiccant Dehumidifiers Work

Process air passes through a special silica-gel rotor, where moisture is adsorbed. A second air stream, preheated to 90–140°C, regenerates the rotor, expelling moisture as warm, humid exhaust.
