Heat Recovery Geothermal Arenas

IKS Heat Pumps

Ice Kube Systems manufactures geothermal heat pump equipment for specialized applications. Fluid-to-fluid heat pumps designed for low temperature applications are used in hockey and curling arenas across North America. The efficiency of the heat pumps in low temperature applications makes them very suitable for high-efficiency geothermal systems.

The equipment is also being used in office buildings, schools and industrial heating and cooling applications across the country.

Eco-Kube (EKS) Heat Pumps

EKS models offer high temperature capabilities in heating applications. Technology enables the EKS model heat pumps to produce 145°F (63°C) water while connected to typical ground and water loops as heat sources. As well as the high temperature application the EKS model line can operate at temperatures required for thermal ice storage applications.

Ice-Kube (IKS) Heat Pumps

IKS models are targeted for low temperature applications while providing hot water for radiant heating applications. The IKS model operates at temperatures low enough to provide refrigeration for artificial hockey and curling ice surfaces. IKS model heat pumps can operate efficiently at water temperatures of 10°F (-12°C) while providing water hot enough to be used as radiant in-floor heating.



Highlights

High temperatures up to 145°F (63°C)
Low temperatures to 10°F (-12°C)
COP as high as 6 for simultaneous heating and cooling applications (i.e. for 1 unit of energy input, get 6 units of energy out)
Use in geothermal and non-geothermal applications (i.e. waste heat recovery)
