A Zamboni typically uses hot water to create ice because it helps to melt and smooth the surface better than cold water. Hot water can fill in cracks and imperfections more effectively, resulting in a smoother finish. Additionally, the hot water freezes quickly, which helps to maintain the ice's quality. However, it's essential to ensure that the water temperature is suitable for the specific conditions and type of ice rink being maintained.

Why powder should not be used in boiling water?

Powder should not be used in boiling water because it can clump together and form lumps, making it difficult to dissolve evenly. It can also create a mess and increase the risk of burns if it splashes. It's better to dissolve the powder in a small amount of cold water first before adding it to boiling water.


Why is cold water used in jelly?

Cold water is used in jelly preparation to help dissolve gelatin more effectively and to maintain the integrity of the gelatin structure. When combined with boiling water, cold water helps to cool the mixture quickly, allowing it to set properly without losing its texture. Additionally, using cold water can enhance the clarity and flavor of the jelly by preventing the gelatin from cooking or breaking down.


What temperature does water burn?

Cold or cool water should be used to slow or stop the burn process taking place in skin layers. Using butter, margarine, or any type of oil based lotions or baby oil only continues the burn process on the skin surface and skin layers.


What is used to clean the ice during hockey games and ice skating exhibitions?

The "thing" that cleans the ice is called an ice resurfacer. They are often referred to as a Zamboni. That's actually the manufacturer's brand name of one of the original machines that grooms the ice. A link can be found below.

How much water does a Zamboni hold?

A Zamboni typically holds about 200 to 300 gallons of water, depending on the model. This water is used to create a smooth ice surface by spraying a thin layer of hot water over the ice during the resurfacing process. The exact capacity can vary among different Zamboni models.

Why do Zamboni machines use hot water?

The Zamboni machine uses a large auger with sharpened edges to scrape the ice, removing gross imperfections. Brushes then direct the ice shavings and any chips, up a chute to a reservoir where it is mixed with hot water (in order to melt the shavings). The hot reservoir water is directed back down to the ice, behind the auger, in a very thin sheet that immediately freezes over the very cold surface of the ice, leaving an almost perfectly smooth, frozen surface behind.Use of hot water, reason #1:Hot water efficiently melts the ice shavings that they pick up while scraping the rough surface of the ice so that it can be recycled. If cold water were used, the Zamboni water-reservoir would get bound up with chunky ice-water. Returning this slushy material to the ice would cause a rough imperfect surface.Use of hot water, reason #2:The clarity of the ice surface is as important as the consistency. Imperfections in the new surface will cause some opacity, detracting from the clarity of the new ice. This problem is minimized by the use of hot water, which liquifies most potential imperfections.Use of hot water, reason #3:If the water came out cold, the roughened surface left by the auger, might not fully melt to be incorporated into a solid clear ice surface. Also, any shavings or chips, left on the ice, might not be melted, and would form imperfections in the ice surface.These machines rely on the relatively large surface area of the shaved ice and on the rate of heat transfer in water, to melt the shaved ice in preparation for resurfacing.Warm water can (under certain rare circumstances) freeze faster than cold water. But Zamboni machines do not rely on this phenomenon.You can observe the areas where the Zamboni cannot reach (along the edges of the curved areas), and see how the areas covered by the Zamboni differ from these relatively untreated areas.
