Reduce Operating Costs While Boosting Resiliency

Our low temperature chillers are a proven way for ice rinks to reduce their operating costs and carbon footprint significantly. Powered by natural gas rather than electricity, Tecogen’s chillers only require 2 kW of electricity to run, making it the best option for resiliency against power outages. Even during blackouts, only a downsized backup generator is required to ensure critical services and sensitive climate-controlled environments are maintained.

The use of natural gas gives our chillers a significant economic advantage by providing cooling at a 40-60% lower operating cost than electric chillers. When running our chillers, you are creating chilled water and hot water simultaneously. The hot water produced during the chiller’s operation increases the efficiency of your manufacturing facility by relegating your boilers to a backup role. We use hot water every day for dehumidification/reheat, space heating, cleaning, domestic hot water, process heating, and, most importantly, helping to keep your processes running smoothly and efficiently!

Advantages of Tecogen Ice Rink Chillers

RAPID PULL DOWN

In low-temperature applications, substantial pull-downs are common, yet many competitors focus solely on final temperature considerations, leading to inefficient chiller operation. At Tecogen, we've engineered our systems to facilitate rapid and efficient pull-downs across the entire temperature range. Our low-temp chillers ensure consistent operation without the need for constant human intervention.

RELIABLE WITH 99.8% AVAILABLE UPTIME

Expect reliability with every Tecogen ice rink chiller. With an impressive uptime rate of 99.8% during 24/7 operation, our chillers can maintain consistent year-round or seasonal operation. All Tecogen ice rink chillers and cogeneration systems may be serviced by our nationwide factory service program. This ensures the longest life with the best available uptime of any competing system on the market.

SCALABLE

Our low temperature chillers are designed to accommodate 1-100+ pieces of equipment, ensuring scalability for future expansion. Whether you're launching with a modest setup or need a robust chilling system for extensive operations, our low temp chillers are adaptable to grow with your needs.
