Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung von kuenstlichem Schnee

摘要

Water under high pressure and at a low temperature is fed to a set of nozzles, after it has been mixed with a high-pressure air flow. On leaving the nozzles the water is atomized into fine droplets and is rapidly depressurized on being discharged into a low-pressure air stream of subfreezing temperature generated by a fan. The weight ratio of high-pressure air and water, ahead of the nozzle orifices, is on the order of 1 : 400.
