Eco Chill

ECO CHILL® is an industry‑leading solution for ice rinks that takes you one‑step closer to a greener future while ensuring the best quality ice and user satisfaction.

Eco Chill allows you to re‑purpose up to 100% of the energy removed from your ice sheet during operation and apply that energy to wherever you need heat within the building. By utilizing heat recovery from the refrigeration system, it decreases your arena’s energy consumption and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

Moreover, Eco Chill is factory assembled with both a plate and frame chiller and condenser, offering the benefit of reduced refrigerant charge and a lower risk of leaks.

Its modular nature allows the designer to choose components that best match the needs of your facility—whether a new design or a retrofit.

If you are committed to a brighter future, it is time to move toward net neutrality and see what Eco Chill can do for your ice rink.

Reviews

“We currently operate six buildings, with the newest using a CIMCO Eco Chill package. With the Eco Chill package we have noticed an ease of operations for our managers, as well as cost savings. We love the features and would like to upgrade the rest of our systems for these reasons.”
Ted Less
Chiller Ice Rinks
“The CIMCO Eco Chill is a popular topic for the Vegas Golden Knights organization due to its consistent performance and annual operational savings. Refrigeration makes up 40% of operational costs and decisions should be based on lifetime value. Operationally we are saving 20–30% per month compared to synthetic refrigeration systems.”

System Capabilities

ECO SENSE is designed to extract maximum efficiency from the refrigeration plant by actively managing all key system functions, including:

  • Continuous monitoring of ice surface temperature
  • Automatic regulation of pumps, compressors, condenser systems, and exhaust equipment
  • Real‑time system diagnostics, including alarms and operational status
  • Integrated control of arena systems related to ice and environmental conditions

The system collects and analyzes operating data such as temperatures, pressures, runtimes, and performance trends—allowing operators to maintain consistent ice quality while optimizing system efficiency.

Operational Advantages

  • Reduced equipment runtime and wear
  • Lower maintenance requirements
  • Improved system efficiency and energy performance
  • Easier ice quality management
  • Faster troubleshooting and system response
  • Intuitive operation with minimal training required
