SINGLE AND MULTI-STEP SNOWMAKING GUNS

摘要

Various embodiments of multi-step snowmaking guns are disclosed. More particularly, embodiments of a six-step, a four-step and a single step snowmaking gun are disclosed. Embodiments of the multi-step snowmaking guns may generally characterized by having a bottom manifold connected to a main mast, which is connected to a nozzle manifold, which in turn may be connected to a multi-step fluid nozzle. Embodiments of the multi-step snowmaking guns may further be generally characterized as having a nucleator head connected to a nucleator mast which is in turn also connected to the nozzle manifold.

主权项

1. A multi-step snowmaking gun, comprising:
a bottom manifold having fixtures for receiving pressurized water and compressed air; an elongated hollow main mast connected to the bottom manifold; a nucleator head for generating atomized ice crystals from the pressurized water and the compressed air; an elongated hollow nucleator mast connected to the nucleator head; a multi-step fluid nozzle for generating atomized water jets from the pressurized water, the nozzle configured to be operated in discrete production levels measured in steps of atomized water droplet jet production; and a nozzle manifold having a nozzle manifold body configured to mate with the elongated main mast, the elongated nucleator mast and the multi-step fluid nozzle.
