CIMCO’s Ammonia Heat Pumps in Ice Arenas to Help Canadian Town Meet 2030 Net-Zero Target
The installation of the systems at two sports complexes in Halton Hills, Ontario, will cut costs and emissions.

Cimco’s central ammonia chiller/heat pump supplies cool and hot water to home heat pumps while delivering hot and cool glycol to a geothermal field.
Reclaiming excess heat from the ammonia refrigeration system removed the need for any boilers at the plant, saving 2.5 million kWh of energy each year.
The system will be linked to a district energy-sharing system that uses 100% renewable energy and is carbon neutral.
Heat tapped from Maple Leaf Foods’ ammonia system is used to generate boiler make-up water.
The Canadian contractor will no longer make systems that use HFCs or HFO blends like R513A.
Cimco system leverages heat reclaim to cut energy costs by CAD$100,000 per year.
