Should dispel any loose rumours of full arena closure too. Big investment!Loopsteel wrote:HUGE news for our future at the arena.

The venue’s operator Sheffield International Venues has won planning permission to install a new 22-ton ice-making chiller that is more environmentally-friendly than the existing, outdated equipment.
In an application to Sheffield Council, the venue’s managers explained that the replacement chiller will use ammonia rather than butane refrigerant which has a ‘high global warming potential’.
“This is a massive improvement over the existing chiller as just one system charge of the existing machine is equivalent to 1.47 tonnes of CO2 pollution if it were to suffer a major leak.”
“The refrigerant is being phased out under the UK implementation of EU regulations which will expose the site to major operational risks if there were to be a leak and no recycled refrigerant could be sourced.”
“The new ice chiller is significantly quieter than the original chiller, reducing noise pollution and risk from industrial deafness,” the application said.
“The anticipated life expectancy of the new equipment is estimated to be circa 20 years, providing substantial savings, which may secure the future of ice hockey, Disney on Ice, etc in Sheffield for the lifetime of the new equipment.”
The chiller will be supplied by Glasgow-based Star Refrigeration, which has installed 80 per cent of the UK's ice rinks.

I was just wondering if any of that cost saving is likely to be reflected in the rent or other cost savings to the Steelers club?The new chiller will operate using a very low cost...
Didnt they say that 29 years ago when then installed the old one?The anticipated life expectancy of the new equipment is estimated to be circa 20 years..
In fairness, it has made it to now...Jayboy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 7:41 pmI was just wondering if any of that cost saving is likely to be reflected in the rent or other cost savings to the Steelers club?The new chiller will operate using a very low cost...

All we need then is the White House to turn the volume down and we could go home with 100% hearing and no thumping headache.

Must admit I didn't expect it
Thought it would have been a make do and mend.
