ABSTRACT:
A carbon-dioxide (CO.sub.2) snow-making system comprising a snow horn having an upper chamber into which pairs of jets of CO.sub.2 are transversely injected from opposite directions, respectively. The expanding jet mixtures of snow and vapor are directed into collision along paths that lie generally in a single plane so as to intersect at an angle of 180.degree. in a central region of the chamber, thereby to dissipate the kinetic energy of the jets. Where more than two jets are directed into collision at a common point, the intersecting angles are so chosen that the resultant kinetic energy is substantially zero. High velocities and turbulence of the snow-vapor mixture are thereby minimized, and the snow discharges evenly from the chamber and through the horn without sticking thereto for uniform distribution.
