ABSTRACT:
A snow-making machine is disclosed which includes a first group of air-water snow-making nozzles and a second group of airless, water atomizing nozzles. A distributional air fan is driven by a water turbine. Water for the air-water snow-making nozzles is derived from the outlet side of the turbine, while water for the airless nozzles is derived from the intake side of the turbine. A novel construction of air-water manifold ring and air-water nozzles associated therewith is also described. The construction provides a high efficiency, low cost, lightweight snow-making unit, ideally suited for ski area snow-making operations.
