RINK ISSUES
SMART Technology
HVAC/Dehumidification
• Intake and supply air flow
• Moisture removal monitor
• Air filter replacement notification
• Temperature, humidity and dew point
monitoring & control
• CO/NO2 monitoring and alarms
• Fan & desiccant wheel motor runtime
• Energy consumption monitoring and
trends
• Maintenance scheduling
For maximum efficiency and reliability,
all the equipment in your rink would
communicate with each other and be easily
integrated into one user interface system.
Unfortunately, SMART technology
has been slow to enter into the ice rink
industry. However, earlier this year
an association named "SMART Rink
Connect" was formed by a group of like-
minded companies to achieve a mission of
increasing safety, improving efficiency and
reliability of ice rink mechanical systems
through SMART technology. To find out
more about the exciting things this group
is working on check out their website
