Abstract

A system for creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice, the rink ice being created by spraying water over a base material layer and flowing cold brine through cooling tubes embedded in the base material layer includes: a heat pump performing a refrigerating cycle using CO2 as a refrigerant for producing cold brine and hot water, and a means for introducing the brine which has worked to freeze the water sprayed over the base material layer and received heat from the water sprayed over the base material layer and the ice created to the heat pump, thereby the hot water is produced by the heat pump by using heat contained in the brine introduced to the heat pump as a heat source and the brine deprived of the heat in the heat pump is returned to the cooling tubes to be used as the cold brine, thus the cold brine for creating the rink ice and cooling the ice layer created and the hot water to be used in ancillary facilities of the ice-skating rink facility are produced.

Claims (6)

3. A system for creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice according to claim 2, wherein a conduit is provided to introduce water heated in one of the heat exchangers to the other heat exchanger or exchangers provided nearer the compressor discharge side.
4. A method of creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice, the rink ice being created by spraying water over a base material layer and flowing cold brine through cooling tubes embedded in the base material layer, comprising the steps of:
producing said cold brine by a heat pump performing a refrigerating cycle using CO2 as a refrigerant, and introducing said brine to the heat pump, the brine having worked to freeze the water sprayed over the base material layer and receiving heat from the water sprayed on the base material layer and the ice created, whereby the hot water is produced by the heat pump by introducing the brine containing heat received from the water sprayed over the base material layer and the ice created to the heat pump and utilizing the heat of the brine as a heat source, and the brine deprived of the heat in the heat pump is returned to the cooling tubes to be used as the cold brine, thus the cold brine for creating the rink ice and cooling the ice layer created and the hot water which is to be used in ancillary facilities of the ice-skating rink facility are produced.
5. A method of creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice according to claim 4, wherein said CO2 refrigerant is evaporated by allowing the refrigerant to receive heat from the brine which received heat from the water sprayed over the base material layer, the evaporated CO2 is compressed to a supercritical state, and the compressed CO2 is introduced to a plurality of heat exchangers arranged in series in the discharge side of the compressor to heat water so that hot water of different temperature ranges are obtained by the heat exchangers respectively.
6. A method of creating rink ice and utilizing high-temperature heat generated when creating rink ice according to claim 4, wherein a part of water heated in one of the heat exchangers is introduced to the other heat exchanger or exchangers provided nearer the compressor discharge side so that the water is further heated.
