Today we will bring to your attention the Crystal Ice Palace. Photos of him are attached to this material. In 2001, the complex was opened, and Archbishop Sofroniy and the governor of the region, Tuleev, took part in it. Today, one of the architectural decorations of the city is precisely the Crystal Ice Palace. Where is this unique facility located? Here is the first question to answer.
The complex is located in the Kemerovo region, in the city of Mezhdurechensk, on the avenue 50 years of Komsomol (19a). The project is implemented in accordance with the highest international standards.
Getting Started and Innovation
The Crystal Ice Palace hosted the first hockey match in its history on the opening day, in the evening. The competition was between Mezhdurechensk HC “Vympel” and veterans of the Novokuznetsk club “Metallurg”. The first of the listed teams managed to win.
The Crystal Ice Palace concentrated all technical innovations, as well as developments from leading world companies that specialized in equipping such arenas at the end of the twentieth century - it was during this period that the design and construction of the complex began.
Indicators
The Kristall Ice Palace has a site that meets European standards: its parameters are 60 by 30 meters. The ice thickness is maintained at five centimeters, 22.5 km of pipes are involved in its formation. The main supplier and designer of the equipment was an American company called York International. She has been doing sports ice for decades.
Features
Crystal Palace in 2000 was equipped with two YCAM 525 chillers, they were the main aggregators. Fully automated installations make it possible to obtain high-quality ice surface at the site, regardless of the temperature of the outdoor air.
In 2003, York International specialists and the engineering and technical services of the complex installed a dry cooler dry cooler system. This solution allows for the production of ice in the winter to apply the cold of outdoor air, which is formed naturally.
In 2011, development began on the options for replacing existing energy-intensive installations in operation with saving and more modern power units. Innovations were implemented in 2016. It was then that they replaced the obsolete refrigeration units, which had worked for 16 years - a record time for such arenas.
A refrigeration unit was mounted on the basis of Bitzer screw compressors from Germany. Olympic Elite is a hockey board made and mounted by the Swedish company DACO.
This solution is the most suitable for multi-functional stadiums, it fully meets the requirements of professional sports. The construction of polyethylene, tempered glass, polycarbonate and aluminum ensures the safety of spectators in the stands and athletes on ice.
In addition, the described solution allows you to observe hockey battles and skaters' performances without interference. To process the field, the DUPON ice-filling machine from France was first purchased. But later there was a need for an even more advanced technique.
