Due to high moisture loads in many recreation and leisure facilities, traditional air handling units are unable to create a comfortable, healthy and safe indoor climate. To achieve ideal humidity levels and keep athletes safe, many ice rinks and sports arenas rely on Munters dehumidification systems.
While some facilities require less humidity, others require more. That’s why Munters has a complete range of humidification solutions on hand. Our advanced humidification systems create indoor environments that are healthy, productive, and environmentally friendly. The right humidity levels can minimize adverse health effects, improve productivity and quality, and maximize energy efficiency.
Whether combating dryness in winter or preventing the growth of bacteria and mold in humid summer conditions, Munters climate control solutions ensure optimal indoor climates for health, safety, and maximum productivity.
Traditional air handling units do not deal efficiently with the high moisture load in ice arenas. The humidity not only makes the air feel raw, damp and uncomfortable, but excess moisture also condenses on the ice, making the surface uneven. This puts skaters and speed skaters at risk because soft ice conditions impact their performances. The humidity also creates a fog, posing a safety issue for athletes and obscuring the view for spectators. Humidity also condenses on the ceiling, and excess moisture drips on spectators gathered for the events. It can also affect electrical equipment such as public announcement systems, display screens and lighting systems.
Dehumidification puts an end to these problems. Munters desiccant dehumidification systems for ice rinks keep the dew point low and close to the ice surface temperature. The dehumidifier’s desiccant wheel acts as a sponge, soaking up the moisture and keeping the humidity at a level that dramatically reduces condensation.

Excessive humidity indoors promotes the perfect conditions for the growth of mold and bacteria, creating an unhealthy indoor air quality. This has negative effects on athlete performances, not to mention reducing the comfort and viewing visibility of paying customers and spectators.
Munters desiccant dehumidification solutions create the perfect climate in all types of sports facilities. They reduce the adverse effects of humidity and provide a safer, cleaner and healthier indoor climate for athletes, staff and spectators.
In regions with very dry conditions, or during the arid winter months, Munters can provide efficient humidification solutions, ensuring optimal indoor conditions.

Providing a comfortable spectator experience at ice rinks and other sports facilities can be challenging due to the high moisture load. The problems stem from a combination of athlete perspiration, the high number of spectators and the 24/7 operation of some venues.
Munters industrial desiccant dehumidification solutions have become increasingly popular in ice rinks due to lower equipment costs achieved through economies of scale, modular designs, and the use of desiccant rotors. These desiccant dehumidifier systems are straightforward and extremely efficient because they reuse heat rejected from the condenser to regenerate the desiccant wheel.

Corrosion, or the oxidation of metal, is heavily influenced by the presence of moisture in the air. A high relative humidity causes a thin layer of water vapor to settle on the surface of the metal, leading to corrosion. Using Munters equipment effectively lowers the relative humidity to 45-50%, preventing corrosion on steel. Doing so minimizes the potential damage and reduces the maintenance costs of building structures and interiors.
The extra moisture load from showers, saunas and warm, sweaty bodies after workouts exacerbate the problem of excessive humidity in changing rooms at gyms and sports facilities.
Even a well-ventilated, air-conditioned changing room can quickly become damp, smelly and uncomfortable under these conditions. In addition, moisture on the floor can be hazardous, as the surface may look dry yet is deceptively slippery.
Munters humidification systems improve customer satisfaction and facility owner ROI. Ideal in artic regions and during the dry winter months, Munters efficient humidification solutions can help create the perfect climate for changing rooms.
Due to a high moisture load in many recreation and leisure facilities, traditional air handling units are unable to create a comfortable, healthy indoor climate. All types of sports facilities rely on dehumidification to achieve the proper humidity levels and to safeguard athletes against issues that can occur due to excessive humidity.
“The ice quality has improved a lot and frequent interruptions for ice repair during summer is no longer necessary. Less maintenance of the building is required as both condensation and mold growth have been eliminated, securing a much healthier climate for athletes and spectators. Our cooling system is running less and the excess heat that we used to dump as waste heat during the summer is now used for the regeneration cycle.”

High levels of humidity indoors provide the perfect breeding grounds for the growth of mold and bacteria. The result? Unhealthy indoor air quality that affects athletes’ performance and impacts the comfort and visibility of paying customers and spectators. Excessive humidity also promotes odor and bacterial growth on expensive equipment and can lead to the deterioration of the facility and its materials. In indoor ice rinks, humidity makes the ice wet and slushy and causes a vision-obscuring mist. Condensation also forms on the ceiling, and excess moisture drips onto spectators below. Only by controlling the relative humidity can these issues be prevented. Munters desiccant dehumidification solutions for sports facilities have helped create the optimal indoor climate for decades.
In environments with low humidity, moisture is drawn from surfaces and living organisms, including the human body. This can lead to dry skin, irritated eyes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Low humidity can also cause materials like wood, textiles, and paper to become brittle and crack. Munters offers two cutting-edge technologies to achieve precise humidity control. Isothermal (steam) humidification utilizes ultra-hygienic, substance-free steam generated from boiling water. While adiabatic (evaporative) humidification and cooling systems add water molecules to the air, adjusting relative humidity and temperature according to specific application requirements.
