Andover Community Center & YMCA

Ice Rinks

Andover, Minnesota

Project Scope

The Andover Community Center is a great example of an affordable ice system for a community based rink. The ice system includes:

• An industrial grade refrigeration system designed for year round operation providing efficient operation, low maintenance, and high performance. The system will serve the facility for over 25 years.
• Layout that allows easy access to all equipment for safe and easy operation and maintenance.
• A waste heat recovery system that captures “free heat” from the refrigeration system and uses it for melting ice shavings in the snow melt pit and for heating the sub-soils beneath the ice rink floor for frost protection.
• Simple, straight forward controls for the refrigeration systems that are easy to operate while providing necessary monitoring capabilities.
• A sand rink floor with fusion welded polyethylene piping system; a seamless, low maintenance design.
