In 2004, the Town of Port Hawkesbury, NS built a new multi-use facility that included a 2,500 seat ice arena, a YMCA Fitness Centre, town offices and city hall, and a conference centre.
The refrigeration system is designed with 8 modular, low temperature heat pumps. The heat pump system is designed to extract heat from one of three heat sources: the ice surface, the building or the GHX. It rejects heat primarily to the building. When there is excess heat, it is rejected to and stored in a horizontal GHX, or to the atmosphere via a closed circuit fluid cooler.
Business Week Online considered the Port Hawkesbury facility one of 10 World-Class Sports Stadiums when it was completed.
Architect: Bob Ojolick
Mechanical Engineers: A.H. Roy Associates
GHX design: Ed Lohrenz, Ice Kube Systems
Project completed: 2005
