Ammonia-water solutions in ice rinks: the ultimate brine?

Author(s) : BACHE A., STENHEDE C.

Summary

This paper describes the conversion of the secondary cooling medium in an ice rink, from calcium chloride to an ammonia-water solution. The use of an ammonia-water solution, also called ammonium hydroxide or alkali, as a brine has been described elsewhere (Gibert, 2007). However, to the authors' knowledge, all previous cases have been green field installations. The present case involves an old, heavily polluted brine system and the paper reports the experience of this conversion.
