23、ed professional engineer or architect.11. Spaces11.1 The ice arena may include space for the ice rink,mechanical room, entry arena, participant changing areas,spectator, and administrative areas. An example of such spacesthat could be included are in 11.2 and 11.3.11.2 Ice Rink AreaThis area should
24、be large enough sothat building walls or bleacher systems do not contact thedasher board system. Building utility lines should not beinstalled under the ice surface area. A drain should be installedat the ice resurfacer entrance outside of the ice surface.11.3 Ice Resurfacer Storage AreaThis area sh
25、ould bedesigned requiring the least amount of turning for the iceresurfacer. Turning of the ice resurfacer reduces tire life anddamages floors. The ceiling height should provide enoughclearance to operate the snow tank of ice resurfacer being usedin the “raised” snow dump position. Turning radius of
26、 ma-chines should be considered. A snow dump pit should beconstructed with a minimum of 125 ft3volume per ice sheet.The pit should be able to melt 125 ft3of snow per hour per icesheet. All garage doors to this area should be a minimum 9 by9 ft wide (2.74 by 2.74 m). Also, this area should beconstruc
27、ted to be used as a repair garage and meet theappropriate building codes. This area should provide adequateventilation of exhaust, refrigerant, or other emissions. Thisroom should be heated and have adequate floor drains. Entryarea should be designed to allow only a minimum number ofemployees to pro
28、vide services.11.4 Snow melt pit should be designed to use the waste heatfrom the refrigeration system and be located in the iceresurfacer room.11.5 A separate hot water heating system not used forshowers should be included in the design to allow the operatorof the ice resurfacer to meet the manufac
29、turers recommendedhot water temperature needed for ice making.11.6 Water treatment for ice making water should notcontain more than 150 ppm of all total dissolved solids in thewater content and no more than five total grains of hardness.Higher test numbers may require water treatment for icemaking w
30、ater. Water treatment for the refrigeration/coolingsystem must be considered regardless of water quality.11.7 Seating AreaSeating should be designed to accom-modate the average expected attendance for the majority of theevents conducted in the arena.
