A refrigeration system for an outdoor ice skating rink, the refrigeration system comprising:

• a first heat exchanger having first conduit therein, the first heat exchanger being located in outdoor ambient air, the first conduit having a first inlet and a first outlet, the first heat exchanger being configured to discharge heat to the outdoor ambient air;
• a second heat exchanger having a second conduit therein, the second conduit being in thermal communication with water in the ice skating rink, the second conduit having a second inlet and a second outlet, the second heat exchanger being configured to absorb heat from the water;
• the second outlet being in fluid communication with the first inlet via a warm-side conduit;
• the first outlet being in fluid communication with the second inlet via a cold-side conduit;
• and
• at least one fluid conveying device located in a closed loop comprising the first conduit, the second conduit, the warm-side conduit and the cold-side conduit, the at least one fluid conveying device being configured to circulate a heat transfer fluid in the closed loop.
