Dehumidification

Benefits of desiccants in:

Ice Arenas

• Improves occupant comfort
• Better air quality
• Better ice surface
• Reduces building maintenance
• Reduces ice pad fog build-up
• Reduces load on ice making equipment
• Better dehumidification performance at dew point
• Energy savings

See a case study of a dessicant dehumidification conversion in an ice arena in Thunder Bay.

Note: A screening tool to assess the potential savings in overall fuel costs and paybacks for arenas using dessicant dehumidifiers is available. Please contact your local Union Gas Representative for more details.
