ABSTRACT:
A snow making tower which includes an elongated tower conduit combination having an elongated air conduit extending within an elongated first water conduit. Air and first water discharge nozzles are respectively provided adjacent the upper end of these conduits for producing a plume of atomized water for external interacting air and water discharged under pressure from these air and first water discharge nozzles to produce snow in subfreezing ambient conditions. Multiple second water discharge nozzles are also provided adjacent the upper end of the tower and positioned for directing at least a portion of their water spray discharge for ultimate interaction with the plume. The air and first water discharge nozzles are detachably mounted in respective nozzle housings at the top of the tower structure. These nozzle housings are independently connected to the tower structure at its upper end with respective air and water metal connecting tubes. The air and first water discharge nozzles are incorporated into a single nozzle head with a central water discharge orifice and two air discharge orifices positioned on opposite sides of the water discharge orifice.
