Keeping visitors comfortable at Dundee Ice Arena takes more than just maintaining the perfect sheet of ice. While the action on the rink stays cool, behind the scenes reliable hot water is essential to keep everything else running smoothly. That’s where McDonald Water Storage’s heating and hot water solutions came in. Alongside a PLATEflow, McDonald Water Storage also supplied a 100kW brazed plate heat exchanger to support the arena’s Zamboni machine, providing an efficient heat transfer solution for its operation.
Supplied through Scan Building Services, the 900 Litre Stainless Steel PLATEflow was installed at Dundee Ice Arena to provide a dependable mains pressure hot water solution for one of Scotland’s busiest ice sports and leisure venues.
Whether it’s supplying changing room showers after an ice hockey match, supporting washroom facilities during busy public skating sessions, or meeting the everyday demands of the arena, a consistent hot water supply helps take the chill off for visitors and staff alike.
