Today (December 29), only 37 days before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics
The only newly built ice event venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics
National Speed Skating Hall (AKA "Ice Ribbon")
It will witness the birth of 14 gold medals
In terms of design concept, technical process, material selection, venue operation, etc
The venue fully reflects the characteristics of green, environmental protection, energy saving, low carbon and sustainability
Let's enjoy the charm of "Ice Ribbon"!

Highlight 1: The world's largest span of orthogonal two-way saddle-shaped cable mesh roof
The roof cable net structure of the National Speed Skating Hall adopts the domestic high vanadium closed rope, and the plane projection size of the cable net structure is about 198 × 124 meters, which is the roof of the world's largest rope net gymnasium. The first comprehensive morphological analysis method of complex tension structure was developed, and the amount of steel used was about 1/4 of that of traditional roofs.
This is a domestic high vanadium closed cable in the domestic national large-scale venues
First successful application
Highlight 2: The origin of "ice ribbon" - 3360 curved glass units to create a high-tech curved curtain wall system
Outside the glass curtain wall of the National Speed Skating Hall, there are 22 high and low spiraling, like circling "ice ribbons", and after the integrated night lighting system is turned on, the ribbon man dance, light jumping, and colorful, showing the speed and passion of speed skating.
The second floor of the façade of the National Speed Skating Hall is a high-tech curved curtain wall system, with 3360 glass units, and the curtain wall glass panel adopts semi-tempered double ultra-white double silver low radiation double laminated insulating glass. The "Ice Ribbon" is printed by a crystal clear ultra-white glass color glaze, with an average length of about 620 meters and a total length of about 13,640 meters.
Highlight three: CO that meets the standards of the Winter Olympics is directly evaporatively refrigerated
"Green" ice sports venues
The National Speed Skating Hall uses a co2 transcritical direct cooling ice system
It is a speed skating hall that meets the standards of the Winter Olympics for direct evaporative refrigeration of carbon dioxide
With this technology, environmental protection is the most important consideration
Carbon emissions using the same amount of conventional refrigerant
It is 3985 times that of carbon dioxide refrigerant
The carbon dioxide refrigerant ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) is 0
The GWP (Global Warming Potential) is only 1
Carbon dioxide refrigeration produces waste heat recovery
Hot water of 70 degrees Celsius can be provided for domestic hot water and dehumidification regeneration
In the case of "ice ribbon" running on the full ice surface
It can save about 2 million kWh of electricity a year
Highlight 4: Intelligent venues with a "super brain" throughout the life cycle
National Speed Skating Hall Digital Twin Operating System Display
Li Jiulin, chief engineer of the National Speed Skating Hall, introduced the "super brain" of the venue through the computer screen in the computer room of the National Speed Skating Hall.
The "Super Brain" has been connected to 36 systems and nearly 100,000 points of real-time data, turning the National Speed Skating Hall into an organic life form. The "super brain" as the nerve central system connects the visual system, auditory system, olfactory system, respiratory system, circulatory system, dynamic system, and motor system of the speed skating hall. With the blessing of the "super brain", the National Speed Skating Hall is an organic life body, with feelings, breathing, memories, and thinking.
After the Winter Olympics, the National Speed Skating Hall will become a centre of excellence for the International Skating Federation
Create "Sports Events/ Mass Fitness/Culture and Leisure/Exhibition/Social Welfare"
Five-in-one multi-purpose ice center
Guihua flow tiles, ice wheels swirling
The ice ribbon will not only present the excitement of the Winter Olympics
It will also become a new place for the people to exercise
