METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING SNOW

摘要

A snow making apparatus comprises a plurality of hollow disc like rotatable evaporators (1) through which a refrigerant medium circulates via a hollow shaft (7). Atomising nozzles (6) attached to spray bars (3, 4, 5) direct a fine atomised mist of water towards the surface of the disc (1). Snow crystals are grown by the sequential application of atomised water mist over previously formed crystals and are removed from the disc (1) by a plastics scraper blade (2).
