Creating Better Ice Conditions with Desiccant Dehumidification
The Campbellton Memorial Civic Centre is a multi-sport recreation and event facility in Campbellton, New Brunswick, with ice surfaces used for hockey and other community activities. Preparing the ice season as early as August means the facility can still face warm temperatures and high outdoor humidity, creating challenging conditions as temperatures inside the arena are lowered. Since 2024, the Civic Centre has used desiccant dehumidification during this early-season period to manage excess moisture, reduce condensation and support the conditions needed to create and maintain a consistent ice surface.
