Ice Rink Design, Installation, and Maintenance

At Axima Réfrigération France, we put our expertise in industrial refrigeration to work for local governments to build or modernize ice rinks, whether indoor (arenas), outdoor, or temporary. Our refrigeration systems are designed to minimize your energy costs and environmental impact, while ensuring strict compliance with current regulations.

We recommend the use of low-carbon refrigerants such as ammonia (NH₃) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), as well as heat recovery systems. Thanks to these technologies, it is possible to reuse 100% of the heat generated to heat facilities such as swimming pools or snow pits, which significantly reduces energy costs.

To ensure the safety of your facilities, we guarantee strict containment of refrigerants and a completely leak-tight refrigeration system. Skaters’ comfort and consistent ice quality are ensured through optimized sizing of the distribution circuit beneath the rink.

We work closely with you to identify the most suitable technical solutions, optimizing costs without compromising performance. With our local teams spread across 80 branches, we offer customized maintenance contracts, ensuring sustainable energy management and maximum uptime for your ice rink.

Air Conditioning and Air Treatment

Today, air conditioning is much more than just a matter of comfort: it is a key factor in ensuring an optimal quality of life and precise climate control in your buildings. Axima Réfrigération, an expert installer in the commercial and public sector, offers customized solutions tailored to your needs.

From wall-mounted single-split units for individual spaces to simultaneous heating/cooling VRF systems capable of handling large areas, we incorporate the latest technological innovations to combine energy efficiency, reliability, and aesthetic discretion.

In response to constantly evolving technologies, we also offer hybrid systems that maximize performance while reducing environmental impact. For optimal monitoring and control, we integrate Centralized Technical Management (CTM) solutions, enabling real-time supervision and intelligent control of your systems.

Our systems, based on direct expansion technology, ensure quiet and optimized operation while improving indoor air quality. With our expertise in design, installation, and maintenance, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way, offering solutions designed for the long-term comfort of your buildings.

Commercial Kitchen

We support businesses in the institutional and commercial food service sectors by installing, commissioning, and maintaining professional kitchens designed in strict compliance with health and safety standards. Our certifications, such as Qualicuisine and Qualiclimafroid, as well as our certifications for handling refrigerants, are guarantees of quality that attest to our expertise in various fields.

We offer state-of-the-art equipment to meet all your needs: from food preparation and cooking to serving, refrigeration, and ventilation.

Each project undergoes a customized analysis by our engineering department to meet your functional and budgetary requirements. We also handle commissioning and offer maintenance contracts to ensure the performance and longevity of the installed equipment.
