Concrete tilt slabs are created with internal copper piping that will be used to circulate glycol at 14 degrees below zero. The slabs (walls) are stood upright anywhere from vertical, to overhanging, or slightly sloped for easy angle. Bondor panels are put together to create a surrounding freezer, usually with a viewing window. Fans in the ceiling circulate air usually at -10 degrees C in the ice forming stage and then -4 degrees C when climbing. The glycol is turned on to circulate and chill the concrete, water is sprayed on as a thin film. Icemakers (like a vending machine but way bigger) produce chipped ice that is feed through a machine that grinds it up in a spinning motion (think of a turbo impellor), and blows it out a hose onto the wall, water is added in the mix after ejection to help it stick. Most walls are at least 10 metres high and the "snow" does not reach the top. Therefore instructors must put the wet snow mix in buckets and pack the snow by hand sitting hanging in bosen chairs (like window washers). After about 6 hours the snow hardens to ice (but not as hard as glacier ice). Once it is over 30cm thick it is ready to be climbed. Hand packing allows features to be added such as bumps and bulges etc. Blair Campbell, ex indoor ice climbing instructor www.hukawai.co.nz
it all depends on what kind of rink. a real rink would be impossible if you dont have a clue but an outside rink is easy if you live in a colder climate. You just lay a tarp down, you can put a small layer of sand down if you want to make the ice more even when its all done. You can put blocks of wood on the side of a tarp to form small boards. then you fill the whole thing with water until its about and inch thick , then you let it freeze (8 hours-a day). repeat the water procces until its about 5 or 6 inches thick or until the wood is level with the ice. give it about a day or two to harden out, then its ready to skate on
i did this and it worked. i made 2 and connected them to make it bigger and it worked. it took about 3 days
Not easily. Read this: http://www.howstuffworks.com/ice-rink.htm
