Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3480538A1] A snow making device comprising: a main channel (102) which is arranged to receive and to guide water, and which has a first portion (104), a second portion (106) downstream of the first portion (104), and a third portion (208) downstream of the second portion (106), wherein the second portion (106) presents a constriction (112) with a reduced cross-section compared to the first portion (104) and the third portion (208) for creating a reduced water pressure at the constriction (112); at least one diversion channel (122) which has an inlet (120) connected to the main channel (102) at the constriction (112) of the second portion (106) and is arranged to divert part of the water from the main channel (102) as a diverted water flow of reduced pressure; and at least one ice nucleator nozzle (150) which is arranged to create ice nuclei from said diverted water flow and compressed air.
