If you want to hire an ice rink made of real ice, an energy-conscious, green and environmentally friendly ice rink, easy to set up and dismantle, and also suitable for warmer temperatures, then you have come to the right address as Ice-World produces and supplies mobile ice rinks since 1992.
Powered by wind turbines
The portable ice rinks of supplier and market leader Ice-World are chilled by using renewable electricity. To achieve this, Ice-World purchases 3 gigawatts of electricity every year from Dutch wind turbines. This amount of power is the equivalent of energy which our ice rinks use world wide.
Ice-World International - famed among other things for the largest ice rink in the world, FlevOnice at Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands, rents out around 600 portable ice rinks every year via its network of dealers in some 23 countries in Europe and beyond.
The skating rinks are becoming ever more popular, not only in winter, but in summer as well. In more southerly countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Romania and Bulgaria, it is important for the energy consumption of the rinks to be kept to a minimum. As we speak people are summer skating on Ice-World ice in Cape Town, South Africa.
Patented technology
A study by TNO and its German counterpart TÜV reveals that Ice-World rinks are up to 40 percent more economical in terms of energy consumption than traditional ice rinks that use either rubber or polyethylene.
This is possible thanks to the patented system whereby the ice surface is frozen by aluminium tubes. This metal is a better conductor, which means that less energy is necessary. Furthermore, the tubes lie in the water, so less energy leaches away via the cold floor. For chilling, Ice-World uses the more expensive but also more environmentally friendly polypropylene glycol, which is almost 100% re-used. Furthermore, Ice-World dealers regularly attend courses in the Netherlands, not only to prepare the ice optimally, but also to maintain the ice rink in the most energy-efficient manner possible. For instance, by switching off the chiller when temperatures are freezing or - in hotter countries - by covering the ice surface at night so that the chiller can usually often be switched off then too.
