Technologies
This Olympic venue is one of the few large-size ice arenas in the world that uses CO2 refrigerant. CO2 is used as both refrigerant in cooling system and secondary refrigerant in cooling distribution system, including the rink pipes. The arena has been completed with a heat recovery function, that can cover arena heating demands like ventilation, air dehumidification, hot water production, etc. The refrigeration CO2 rack, including cooling machines, has 4 MW max cooling capacity.[5]
