Condensing unit sizing tool for ice rinks

LTS Studio 3D — the design module inside Low Temp Desk — gives ice rink refrigeration contractors condensing unit selection tied to the calculated load, the design SST and the ambient the unit will actually live in. It works in chillers, brine loops, floor headers and dehumidification, so the model already speaks your equipment instead of asking you to draw it line by line.

Questions from ice rinks contractors

Can I use this condensing unit sizing tool for ice rinks?

Yes. Ice rink refrigeration contractors use LTS Studio 3D on chillers, brine loops, floor headers and dehumidification. The module is built so the unit matches the box instead of matching the truck stock.

How does it deal with long plant runs where header layout drives ice quality?

That case is the reason it exists: long plant runs where header layout drives ice quality. Indoor, outdoor and rooftop mounting with line-length penalty, so the design absorbs the change instead of being redrawn.

Do I need CAD experience or a CAD license?

No. Studio 3D runs in the browser. You enter refrigeration inputs — dimensions, temperature, product, equipment — and the model, the load and the drawing come out of that. Refrigerant selection including low-GWP alternatives.

Does the design connect to the estimate and the job?

Yes. The design lives on the customer and the project, images and takeoffs drop into the estimate, and the approved version stays attached to the work order and the as-built.

What documentation can I hand the customer?

A branded PDF with the 3D view, the plan, dimensions, equipment selection and the load assumptions. Plant operating logs the facility keeps by season — the export is built to sit in that file.
