<p>The method and the apparatus are designed for producing artificial snow and ice crystals which are used for laying on ski runs, in the household or in cooling installations. According to the method, water (3) in flexible hoses (2), within a cooling medium (1) is converted to snow and/or ice crystals. The hoses (2) are cyclically inflated and deflated to cause the crystals to be dislodged from the inner wall surfaces of the hoses (2). When the hoses (2) are full of crystals, the crystals can be discharged by pumping or blowing. 21 claims, 8 figures</p> |
