Annese completed this work as part of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) refrigeration systems replacements project at various rinks. The granite ledge terrain and nearby stream and conservation land where this rink is located presented unusual requirements. The project consisted of complete replacement of the mechanical room chillers, pumps, piping, electrical switchgear, chemical treatment systems and the cooling tower for the rink. The state-of-the-art control systems and all new energy-efficient equipment (with the capability to be monitored and controlled remotely via the internet) allows for enhanced efficiency and run times as well as considerable monthly savings on electricity used.
