Case Study: Complexe Sportif achieves safe, energy-efficient ice rink operations with Trane Commercial HVAC

Complexe Sportif Trane opens energy-efficient ice rink with Trane's 250-ton RTWD chiller

Complexe Sportif Trane, a sports complex in Quebec, needed a reliable, safe, and economically viable mechanical system for its new ice rink arena. The owner challenged Trane Commercial to provide a solution that would ensure optimal performance and safety for patrons while keeping costs manageable.

Trane Commercial provided a unique solution centered on a water-cooled RTWD Helical Rotary Chiller that operates efficiently at ice rink conditions. The system used safe R-134A refrigerant and integrated heat recovery for energy efficiency. The results for Complexe Sportif Trane include reliable operation, a safe environment, lower first and maintenance costs, and efficient system management via a Tracer SC building automation system. The successful project has become a model for the owner's future expansion plans into other cities.
