The No.1 Energy Saving Equipment for ice rinks

Eliminate the need for hot water when building and resurfacing the ice.

The REALice device forces the water to create an ordered Vortex movement inside the unit to separate the air bubbles from the water and crystalizes the lime particles. These changes created inside the REALice unit eliminates the need to use hot water to build or resurface the ice.

How Vortex Process Technology Transforms Water for Ice, Cooling & Sustainability

Purpose of the Document

To present a detailed technical summary of Vortex Process Technology (VPT) and explain how vortex-induced physical changes to water enhance performance in cooling, ice-making, and industrial water treatment—without chemicals or energy input.

What is VPT?

VPT is an inline, energy-free water treatment system that uses fluid dynamics and biomimicry to improve the physical properties of water by:

  • Creating a high-speed vortex flow
  • Inducing cavitation and degassing
  • Causing crystallization of minerals like calcium
  • Structurally transforming water to improve heat transfer

Scientific Effects on Water Properties

PropertyChange through VPT
Viscosity↓ Up to 17% — allows faster flow & better transfer
Conductivity↑ ~3% — indicates restructured molecular alignment
MicrobubblesRemoved — better freezing, reduced foaming
Mineral CrystallizationFormation of non-scaling aragonite & calcite
Surface Tension↓ Enhances spreading and thermal efficiency

Applications & Benefits

Ice Production (REALice):

  • Harder, clearer ice
  • Reduced ice melt and gouging
  • No hot water needed for resurfacing

Cooling Towers:

  • Improved heat exchanger efficiency
  • Reduced scaling and biofouling
  • Increased cycles of concentration

Industrial Water Treatment:

  • Chemical-free and energy-free
  • Prevents mineral buildup
  • Enhances system lifespan and lowers OPEX

Validated By

  • Eindhoven University of Technology
  • SLU Sweden (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences)
  • Independent labs using conductivity, heat transfer, and crystallography testing

Conclusion

VPT is a proven, scalable, and sustainable water treatment method delivering:

  • Lower energy use
  • Zero chemicals
  • Lower maintenance
  • SBroad compatibility across sectors (sports, industrial, HVAC, agriculture)tronger ice & better thermal exchange

This technology supports the shift to circular water systems, energy efficiency, and low-carbon operations.
