<p>The disclosure relates to an air cooled ice rink construction in which the means (10, 12, 13) for cooling the slab (11) of the ice rink includes a region (10) separated from the ground under the slab and accessible to air external to the ice rink enclosure. The means for cooling the slab (11) of the ice rink may be a circulating flow of mechanically - cooled air (12, 13) or, if the air external to the ice rink enclosure is sufficiently cool, it may be a circulating flow of such external air. The ice rinks constructed according to the subject invention may be operated at significantly lower operating costs than conventional ice rinks.</p> |
