by Shane Henson — May 29, 2013—JNS Holdings Corporation recently announced that its JNS Power & Control Systems division has completed work on the Darien Sportsplex Ice Arena in Darien, Illinois.
The project included adding a new temperature control system to improve the energy efficiency of the mechanical equipment, along with the replacement of the main electrical power cabinet on the refrigeration skid.
According to JNS Holdings, the new power and control cabinets were custom made to suit the unique requirements for the Darien Ice Arena National Hockey League (NHL)-sized ice rinks. To increase the plants’ efficiency, a new high-efficiency motor and variable frequency drive was added to the cooling tower.
The new stand-alone control system added to the refrigeration skid will be integrated into the existing building control system to produce the highest quality ice and operate with reliability.
