  • Patent number: 6378778
    Abstract: A snow gun (40) having outlet (43), for cold compressed air (42) and outlet (44) for water (49) discharged under pressure. The snow gun (40) has a tubular housing (41), and said outlet for water consists of nozzles (44) disposed along a ring-shaped cross-sectional area of the housing and wherein each nozzle forms an angle relative to the internal wall (41b) of the housing, that the water jets from the nozzles (44), where they meet upstream in relation to the outlet aperture (45) of the housing, form a configuration having approximately the shape of a polygon or circle (47), and that the ring of nozzles (44) is located downstream in relation to the compressed air outlet (43) where the compressed air expands and upstream in relation to the outlet aperture (45) of the housing, and that both the outlet (43) for compressed air (42) and the water nozzles (44) are thus surrounded by the tubular housing (41) within the inlet end (41a) and the outlet aperture (45) of the housing.
