Can I rent a chiller for a temporary ice rink?

Yes. Chiller rental is particularly suitable for temporary and seasonal ice rinks because the cooling capacity is only required for a specific period. The rental system can be configured for the project and removed again when the season or event ends.

What size chiller do I need for an ice rink?

The required cooling capacity depends on factors such as rink size, ambient conditions, indoor or outdoor installation, required ice temperature and expected heat load. Our specialists calculate the cooling requirement before recommending a solution.

Can temporary cooling be used for an existing permanent ice rink?

Yes. Rental chillers can provide temporary replacement or additional capacity during breakdowns, maintenance, renovation or replacement of the permanent cooling installation.

Can Coolworld supply the complete ice rink cooling system?

Coolworld can combine chillers with the pumps, buffer tanks, hoses, heat exchangers and connections required for the temporary cooling setup. Our specialists can also coordinate delivery, installation and technical support.

How long can I rent ice rink cooling equipment?

Rental periods can be adapted to your project. This can range from a temporary event or winter season to longer-term support for an existing ice rink.

The right cooling setup for consistent ice

Consistent ice quality starts with reliable cooling. Ice rinks require continuous low-temperature cooling to create the ice surface and keep it stable, even as outdoor temperatures, visitor numbers and operating conditions change.

Whether you are creating a seasonal ice rink, planning a temporary event or need additional cooling for an existing rink, Coolworld designs a rental cooling solution around your rink, location and operating requirements.

From chillers and pumps to hoses, buffer tanks and heat exchangers, we can provide a complete temporary cooling setup with expert support throughout the rental period.

Because we know temperature matters.

Ice rink cooling for every situation

Seasonal and temporary ice rinks

Creating an ice rink for a Christmas market, winter event or seasonal attraction? Rental cooling provides the capacity you need for the exact duration of your event, without investing in a permanent cooling installation.

Events and pop-up ice rinks

Temporary ice rinks can be installed at city centres, event venues, shopping centres, sports locations and other temporary sites. A flexible rental system makes it possible to adapt the cooling solution to the available space, required capacity and project schedule.

Permanent ice rinks

When a permanent cooling installation is undergoing maintenance, repair or replacement, temporary chillers can provide replacement or additional cooling capacity to help keep the rink operational.

Consistent ice quality

Maintain stable temperatures for a reliable and consistent skating surface.

Complete rental solution

Chillers, pumps, hoses and other accessories combined into one tailored solution.

Flexible cooling capacity

Scale cooling capacity to the size of your rink and the conditions on site.

Support throughout the season

Technical expertise and 24/7 support help keep your ice rink operational.

How does ice rink cooling work?

To create and maintain an ice surface, a chilled fluid is circulated through pipework or cooling mats underneath the rink. The cooling system continuously removes heat from the surface, allowing water to freeze and keeping the ice at the required temperature.

The required cooling capacity depends on several factors, including:

Size and design of the ice rink
Indoor or outdoor installation
Ambient temperature and weather conditions
Required ice temperature
Visitor numbers and operating hours
Heat load from lighting and surrounding equipment
Cooling system and pipework configuration

Our specialists assess these conditions before recommending the right rental setup for your project.

Why rent ice rink cooling from Coolworld?

Ice rink projects often have fixed opening dates and limited installation windows. Once the rink is operational, reliable cooling becomes critical: a loss of cooling can quickly affect ice quality and disrupt your event or operation.

With Coolworld, you get more than rental equipment. Our specialists help determine the right cooling capacity, configure the complete system and coordinate delivery and installation around your project schedule.

Whether you need cooling for a temporary winter attraction, an annual seasonal rink or backup for a permanent installation, you can rent exactly the capacity you need for exactly as long as you need it.

Because we know that temperature matters.

Electric heaters - applications and benefits

Heating for the spaces around your ice rink

An ice rink often comes with more than just the rink itself. Temporary event spaces, hospitality areas, changing rooms, ticketing zones and staff facilities may also need reliable heating during colder periods.

Coolworld can support these areas with temporary heating solutions alongside the ice rink cooling setup. This gives you one partner for both sides of the temperature challenge: keeping the ice cold while helping surrounding spaces stay comfortable and operational.
