Ventilation and air quality in indoor ice skating arenas.

Author(s) : YANG C., DEMOKRITOU P., CHEN Q., et al.

Summary

The combustion byproducts from the fuel-powered ice resurfacing equipment are a potential health risk to both athletes and spectators. A field survey indicates that the fuel type used by the resurfacer as well as the air exchange rate, the air distribution method, and the operation strategy of the ventilation system are significant contributing factors to the indoor air quality. With computational fluid dynamics, it is possible to develop design and operating guidelines for ventilation systems in order to reduce contamination levels in the arenas.
