Ice Rink Industry
Our ice rink chiller solutions are available in air-cooled, water-cooled, portable, and semi-hermetic chiller configurations to provide efficient heat removal and long-term operational reliability. Whether you operate a hockey rink, curling facility, or seasonal skating rink, J&M Chillers offers custom cooling systems built for durability, reduced maintenance, and energy-efficient performance. With flexible system designs and industrial-grade components, our ice rink chillers help facilities maintain optimal ice quality while lowering operating costs.
Why Ice Rinks Need a Chiller System
Ice rinks depend on precise temperature control to maintain smooth, durable, and safe skating surfaces. A properly engineered ice rink chiller removes heat from the rink floor and circulates chilled glycol beneath the ice surface to maintain consistent freezing conditions. Without dependable cooling, ice can soften, crack, or become inconsistent during high-traffic events.
A quality ice rink chiller system helps facilities:
- Maintain consistent ice thickness and temperature
- Improve skating and hockey performance
- Reduce operating and utility costs
- Prevent premature equipment wear
- Improve overall energy efficiency
- Handle high-capacity cooling demands during tournaments and events
J&M Chillers builds systems designed for long-term durability, dependable performance, and efficient operation in both indoor and outdoor rink environments.

Air Cooled Ice Rink Chillers
Air cooled ice rink chillers are a popular option for facilities looking for simplified installation and dependable performance. These systems use ambient air to remove heat from the refrigeration cycle, eliminating the need for a separate cooling tower.
Benefits of air cooled ice rink chillers include:
- Lower installation complexity
- Reduced water usage
- Easier maintenance requirements
- Ideal for smaller and mid-sized facilities
- Reliable operation in colder climates
Air cooled systems are often an excellent choice for recreational rinks, seasonal facilities, and locations where water availability is limited.
Water Cooled Ice Rink Chillers
Water cooled ice rink chillers provide highly efficient cooling performance for larger arenas and high-capacity applications. These systems use a cooling tower or external water source to remove heat more efficiently than traditional air cooled systems.
Benefits of water cooled ice rink chillers include:
- Higher energy efficiency
- Improved cooling capacity
- Stable operation in warm climates
- Lower noise levels
- Ideal for large commercial arenas
Water cooled systems are commonly used in professional hockey arenas and facilities with demanding year-round cooling requirements.
Portable Ice Rink Chillers
Portable ice rink chillers offer flexibility for temporary rinks, seasonal operations, and facilities requiring mobile cooling solutions. These compact systems can be relocated and installed quickly while still providing dependable cooling performance.
Benefits of portable ice rink chillers include:
- Flexible installation options
- Ideal for temporary or outdoor rinks
- Reduced installation costs
- Fast deployment for events and seasonal applications
- Compact and space-saving designs
Portable systems are commonly used for seasonal skating events, outdoor ice installations, and backup cooling support.
Semi-Hermetic Ice Rink Chillers
Semi-hermetic ice rink chillers are designed for demanding industrial cooling environments where reliability and serviceability are critical. These systems utilize semi-hermetic compressors that provide durable operation and easier long-term maintenance.
Benefits of semi-hermetic ice rink chillers include:
- Long equipment lifespan
- Improved compressor durability
- Serviceable compressor design
- Reliable operation under heavy loads
- Excellent performance for continuous operation
Semi-hermetic systems are often selected for large commercial arenas and facilities requiring maximum reliability.
