SNOW MAKING MACHINE

摘要

In making snow a closed environment is created in a housing (10), a flow of air is cooled by cooling means (16) and the cooled air is directed into a chamber (14) into which a fine spary of water is released. Downstream of the chamber is located collecting means (21), usually in the form of porous material through which the air can pass whilst snow is collected on the collecting means. The snow collected leaves the collecting means to be discharged through an outlet opening (15). The flow of air is in turn cooled, passed through the outlet, snow is abstracted from the air and at least some of the air can be recirculated.
