Efficient chillers for recreational and professional ice rinks

When it comes to ice rinks, maintaining high standards starts with the refrigeration equipment behind them. Industrial Frigo USA offers a full range of ice rink chillers engineered to meet the needs of both recreational and professional rinks.

Our chiller units run on advanced features, including dual gas circuits that operate at reduced power depending on the chiller's size. A built-in timer schedules compressor operation automatically — powering down at night and restarting during the day to cut energy costs. Every chiller has a galvanized frame built for outdoor installation, low-noise axial fans for a quieter environment, and a centrifugal pump, storage tank, semi-hermetic or scroll compressors, and plate evaporators that keep the whole system running efficiently.

Control panels carry IP 55-rated insulation with microprocessor precision control, and can be optionally equipped with a remote control panel and remote management via the internet or smartphone.

Choose Industrial Frigo USA for reliable, energy-efficient ice rink chillers, built for both recreational and professional rinks.

Choosing the Right Chiller for Your Rink

Our team specializes in the design and engineering of both recreational and professional ice skating rinks. To guarantee top performance and efficiency, Industrial Frigo USA offers a range of solutions for permanent or temporary rinks, matched to the ambient temperature of your installation site.

In standard conditions — ambient temperature below 89–91°F — an air chiller is the recommended solution. For hot climates, with temperatures ranging from 93°F to 113°F, an air chiller can still work, but the setup requires careful analysis to avoid operational issues. The optimal solution in these conditions is a water chiller paired with an additional cooling system (air chiller or cooling tower) — this lets you install the refrigeration equipment indoors, near the rink.

Above 114°F, the chiller must be water-cooled with a system like an air chiller or cooling tower. In these extreme conditions, the chiller is installed in an equipment room while the cooling system sits outside.

Built for Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Savings

At Industrial Frigo USA, energy efficiency drives every chiller we develop. Refrigeration is where most of a rink's operating budget goes — so we invest heavily in R&D to keep that cost down without sacrificing performance, staying ahead of the curve as refrigeration technology advances.

That focus led us to a new generation of chillers running on next-generation refrigerant gases with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) — the metric used to compare refrigerants by their warming effect over time (typically measured over 20, 100, or 500 years). A lower GWP isn't just a technical spec: with the EPA phasing down high-GWP refrigerants nationwide, choosing a low-GWP chiller today keeps your rink ahead of upcoming regulations — no expensive retrofit down the road, and typically lower long-term operating costs to boot.

The specific refrigerant used depends on your chiller's output and the outdoor temperature conditions at your installation site.

Built for efficiency

Cut energy costs by up to 40%

Running a rink isn't cheap, refrigeration is where most of your operating costs live. We engineered our chiller line to change that: high-efficiency systems built specifically for ice rinks, recreational or professional grade, that cut energy draw without cutting performance.
