  • Ventilation and Air Quality in Indoor Ice Skating Arenas
    Ventilation and Air Quality in Indoor Ice Skating Arenas Chunxin Yang, Ph.D.1 Philip Demokritou, Member ASHRAE , Ph.D. Qingyan Chen, Member ASHRAE , Ph.D. John Spengler, Ph.D. Austin Parsons Abstract There are thousands of indoor ice rink arenas in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The combustion byproducts from the fuel powered ice resurfacing equipment impose a potential health risk to both athletes and spectators. A field survey of ten ice rink arenas in Greater Boston and Halifax, Nova Scotia indicates that the fuel type used by the resurfacer as well as the air exchange rate, the air distribution method, and the operation strategy of the ventilation system are significant contributing factors to the indoor air quality (IAQ). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to systematically investigate the impact of air exchange rate, air distribution method, and ventilation control strategies on the IAQ in an arena. With CFD, it is possible to develop design and operating guidelines for ventilation systems in order to reduce contamination levels in the arenas. Keywords: Air distribution, health, skating rink, indoor air quality, space environment, ventilation INTRODUCTION There are several thousands ice rink arenas in the United States and Canada. Some of the arenas are with compromised air quality because of high concentration level of various pollutants. The concentration level within an ice rink facility depends highly on the fuel type of the ice resurfacer, the frequency of resurfacing, and the degree of ventilation (Pennamen et al 1998). Most of the studies for ice rinks report only the presence or absence of the ventilation system.
