Ice Rink Air Quality
The arena's ventilation system can also dramatically affect the indoor air quality by:
• Not being properly operated.
• Not being properly maintained.
• Not being properly designed such as:
• Inadequate size or performance.
• Intake air systems drawing in air from other polluted areas, such as
a vehicle parking lot or garage.
Even cars, buses or trucks idling next the arena doors or ventilation system intakes can have
a dramatic affect upon the indoor air quality.
Engine Emission System Components
This machine is equipped with an engine system that is designed to reduce emissions to the
point of compliance with industry standards. In order to comply with these standards, the
machine is equipped with the following items:
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
• Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI - Gasoline Only).
• Electronic governor.
• Three-way catalytic converter.
• Oxygen sensor.
• MAP sensor.
• Engine coolant temperature sensor.
• Ambient air temperature sensor.
• On-board diagnostic system.
• Malfunction indicator light (MIL).
All of these items are used to insure that the engine operates properly and meets the emission
level standards. However, exhaust emissions are still being produced by the engine and
while the level of the harmful pollutants are reduced, the air quality in the rink must still be
monitored to make sure that the air is healthy.
