Realice System - Improved Ice Quality

The Realice System is a complete system for treating water for all types of ice rinks. The treated water contains fewer small micro bubbles of air which reduce the insulating capacity of the ice and yield lower energy consumption at the rink. A normal-sized ice rink can save about Euro 10 000 per annum and improve its ice quality.

This simple animation shows how the realice system and nozzle would work against a traditional nozzle when laying the ice.

Our solution

Lower temperature of added water

Using vortex-treated water, you can lower the temperature of the added water to below 20°C. This measure saves about Euro 4 200 per annum in a normal ice rink.

Higher ice temperature

Using vortex-treated water, you can raise the temperature of the ice by between 1-2°C. This measure saves about Euro 3 200 per annum in a normal ice rink.

Reduced hot water consumption

Using vortex-treated water, you can reduce your hot water consumption. This measure saves about  Euro 2 100 per annum in a normal sized ice rink.

Reduced energy consumption

As the water are affected and prepared to freeze the water freezes faster.

This animation shows the ice in perspective when heat is being directed trough the ice. Note how the compressor dont have to work as hard when keeping the Realice at the proper temprature.

Lower viscosity

Using vortex-treated water, you lower the viscosity of the water, entailing that it flows out more easily despite the temperature being lower.

Reduced limescale problems

In vortex-treated water, the limescale crystals are changed from Calcite to Aragonite, entailing that they are no longer angular but round in shape and thus do not attach themselves to other limescale crystals or other surfaces. You thus avoid the formation of limescale deposits.
