Abstract

With the coming of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, China’s artificial ice rink construction will be in rapid development. A parametric evaluation of the cooling pipe in a direct evaporation rink was performed by numerical simulation. The results showed that the influence of the temperature of the antifreeze pipe on the ice surface temperature can be ignored. The evaporation temperature of the working medium in the cooling pipe is between −32 °C and −22.4 °C to ensure the ice surface temperature is between −5 °C and −3 °C. With the increase in the cooling pipe spacing, the required evaporation temperature of the working medium in the cooling pipe and the uniformity of the ice surface temperature decreased. The required evaporation temperature of the working medium in the cooling pipe decreases by 1.2–1.5 °C for every 10 mm increment of spacing. With the increase in the cooling pipe diameter, the required evaporation temperature of the working medium in the cooling pipe and the uniformity of the ice surface temperature increase. The required evaporation temperature of the working medium in the cooling pipe increases by 2.2–2.9 °C for every 5 mm increment of diameter. The maximum temperature difference of ice surface temperature ranged from 0.004 °C to 0.111 °C.
