Holden Complex ice rink refrigeration system

In 2019, Berg Chilling Systems installed a synthetic indoor ice rink chiller skid package for Holden Complex in Alberta, Canada. The client was looking for an efficient solution to replace and upgrade its old 20-year-old system. Berg recommended providing a complete, factory assembled and tested solution that can be quickly and easily connected on-site with minimal interruption to regular operation and reduced disruption of the mechanical room when compared with a built-up system.

The remote air-cooled chiller is charged with R449A (Opteon XP40) refrigerant and has a cooling capacity of 60TR. In addition, this 60 ton ice rink chiller is a dual circuit and includes two compact screw compressors, an air-cooled condenser and a tube evaporator. Berg’s ice rink refrigeration experts also performed the start-up of the new ice rink refrigeration system.

Canlan Ice Sports ice rink refrigeration system

In 2017, Berg Chilling Systems established a built-up cooling system for Canlan Ice Sports in Ontario, Canada. Canlan Ice Sports is the largest private recreational ice operator in North America. With 57 ice sheets in operation year-round, it was spending too much money on the electrical energy needed to keep rinks cool at the company’s six-rink York location in Toronto. Management realized their 20-year-old refrigeration system needed an energy efficiency upgrade and they tackled the challenge in cooperation with Berg. Together they produced a refrigeration system that reduced peak demand by 45% and saved more than $300,000 annually.
