<p>A method and an apparatus for making artificial snow by means of a snow-making machine comprising a funnel-shaped carrier (1) having, at the inlet end thereof, a fan adapted to provide rapid flow of air (3) through said carrier (1) and having, at the outlet end thereof, both a ring (5) of atomising nozzles (6) mounted close to a nose cone (4) of the snow-making machine, and several, preferably three or more, rings (7) of water distribution nozzles (8) arranged to eject a curtain of water drops (12) obliquely into the flow of air (3) passing through the carrier (1), and in which the method involves the steps of firstly turning on the fan (2) so that a rapid flow of air (3) is moved through the snow-making machine, thereafter pressing water under high pressure through the ring (5) of atomising nozzles (6), then turning on pressurised water in a first ring (II) of water distribution nozzles (8) and thereafter, stepwise after each other, turning on pressurised water to the remaining rings (I, III, IV, V) of water distribution nozzles.</p> |
