Maintaining optimal ice quality for indoor ice arenas requires reliable, consistent temperatures and maintenance. Outdated temperature controls compromise the quality and care of the rink, leading to uneven playing surfaces, temperatures that are difficult to manage, and undesirable conditions for skaters. From increased maintenance demands, ongoing repairs, and inconsistent performance, outdated refrigeration controls make ice arena management difficult and costly.
LACE UP: CUSTOM CONTROL DESIGNS
Before you can hop on the ice, you need skates that fit. The same goes for the refrigeration system in your rink. Ice arenas serve many different purposes, from weekend hockey tournaments to open skating to community events that don’t require ice at all. Having an updated control system that is designed to fit your unique building is key to maintaining control and keeping everything running as it should. No matter how many rinks your arena has, or if the uses of the building change throughout the year, your custom refrigeration system should integrate seamlessly with your operations. Integrating fire alarm & life safety systems with the design can further improve the safety, comfort, and management of the building overall.
Egan Company’s Industrial Refrigeration Controls team partners with facility managers to learn what a well-designed system means for each facility, and how new controls and integrated systems can improve the way your rink is run.

Minnesota is the fourth-largest agricultural exporting state in the country. About 54 percent (or 27.6M acres) of the state consists of farmland. That’s close to the total acreage of Tennessee (26.9M acres). For home-grown grain products, Cenex Harvest States (CHS), a Minnesota-based multinational agricultural cooperative, relies on a vast network of roads, railways, and river transit to export around the world.
