This weekend, Changchun Ice and Snow Xintiandi is about to open an "ice and snow feast" for everyone who loves ice and snow. During the "camp visit" in advance, a question attracted the attention of the reporter of China's Jilin Network. Beautiful ice sculptures, ice castles, ice slides... It all takes a lot of ice, and where does that ice come from?
Zhao Hang, customer service manager of Changchun Ice and Snow Xintiandi, told reporters that these ices were stored earlier. "Every year around January, we store the taking ice in our 'natural ice storage room', and this year we stored 42,000 cubic meters of ice, and in November we started taking the ice to build the ice and snow landscape in the park."
What does a "natural ice storage room" look like? In fact, the "natural ice storage room" is built according to the special geographical conditions of this place. "We have more mountains here, and the cave is the best place to store ice, so we have built a 'natural ice storage room' with the help of nature." Zhao Hang said. This "natural ice storage room" uses the ancient method of storing ice, and the ice will be closed after it is sent into the cave, and it will not be opened until it is built. Of course, in order to ensure that the summer ice does not melt and the effect of ice storage is good, the Changchun Ice and Snow Xintiandi also insulates the cave in the early stage of heat, heat insulation and moisture insulation. "It's like a big natural refrigerator." Zhao Hang said.
He also gave a vivid example to the reporter, "post-70s" and "post-80s" friends must remember that in the past summer, the vendors who sold popsicles would prepare a foam box, spread a quilt in the box, and use the quilt and foam box to keep the popsicles warm to ensure that the popsicles would not melt because of the hot weather. "We're using this ancient way of storing ice, which is like a big foam box with a lower temperature than outside the cave, which provides the conditions for storing these ices."
The use of ice storage in this way, with the help of nature, energy saving and environmental protection, also provides sufficient ice source for the smooth progress of the project.
