Summary

The paper describes environmental engineering and environmental design for the chambers that would house the ice formations. A special nozzle configuration and a sprinkler mechanism for the ice making equipment was developed. The ice corridor's architectural and refrigerating systems are introduced and the predictions of energy consumption and actual operating results are reported. Sensors capable of detecting even small changes in temperature, such as those caused by the radiated body heat of visitors entering or leaving the area are linked to a computer which carefully regulates temperature and humidity, as well as sensitive environmental control system that makes use of the latest condensation prevention technology.
