Detail of laying
the cooling carpet |
|
|
|
- The cooling system is based on an entirely new principle.
First, hockey side boards are installed on asphalt
foundation, then a mobile freezing carpet is rolled out all
over the surface, formed by a system of elastic rubber
tubes. These are diverted into a shallow conducting drain.
- The mobile machine shop for cooling is placed not far
from the conducting drain (container). The cooling

medium is forced in by means of pumps from
the machine shop for cooling through piping in
the conducting drain into the system of the cooling
carpet made of pipes. This piping system is all over
the field/ice-rink surface covered with a permeable
carpet of a special artificial lawn dusted with siliceous
sand. The textile part of the lawn is 100% absorbing, which causes a total adhesion of the carpet to the system
of cooling piping. This guarantees compactness of the ice layer all over the surface.

- Another advantage of this skating rink is the fact that
in case of need it is possible to transfer the whole
mobile system (machine shop for cooling, cooling pipes,
side boards, and net and light holders) to another site.
|
|
- When the skating season is over and the ice melts away,
the whole surface is used, without any further adaptations,
as a current multipurpose playing field where all kinds of ball
games can be played. This has solved the biggest problem
of permanent ice surfaces, namely their seasonal usability.

The biggest ICE Park in Europe in Plzeň-Lochotín (2006) - evening illumination
and skating on ice-rink 20 x 30 m with a possibility of leaving for the open |
|
|
|
|
- This is a revolutionary novelty in the field of artificial
sports surfaces, a dry skating rink can be installed
as mobile (seasonal use) or fixed installation
(a special know-how base).
- To install this material is very easy, panels measuring
2 x 1 m are laid to one another using special catches
- know-how of the “patent“ company.
Laying is carried out on a special grid laid on
a prepared, perfectly even base (either permeable
asphalt, concrete with a carry-net or wire concrete)
- a special know-how base.
|
|
- low operational costs
- easy installation and dismantling of surfaces for skating
- possibility of skating disregarding weather and seasons of year
- seasonal usability (e.g. installation on the bottom of swimming
pools which are not otherwise used outside summer season,
or on the surface of playing fields)
- the fact must be mentioned that polymer panels must be
cleaned and impregnated with a special machine preventing
the surface from getting polluted
|
|
- Novelty of 2005 - we offer a special synthetic material
for skating, usable under any temperature and climatic
conditions without cooling within exclusive collaboration
of Sport-Technik Bohemia with the company INTERICE,
which is the exclusive importer of polymer panels for
skating from the American NASA production. The surface
of this material enables skating on standard skates,
playing hockey and figure skating, and the operation does
not require any energy or water supply and is not limited
by severe frosts or high temperatures in summer months.
