Water for making snow should be as close to freezing as possible for the best efficiency. The best way to cool snowmaking water is to spray cool water in a storage pond or run the water through a cooling tower before pumping it into the pipeline. It is estimated that 2% of snowmaking efficiency is lost for every one degree F,

the water is above 32°F during the snowmaking process. Cooling systems are custom engineered for each snowmaking system. Spray cooling systems can be very effective in cooling snowmaking water. The use of correct nozzles, and system water pressure will eliminate much of the misting and water evaporation losses. Large nozzles with proper water pressure can result in a dramatic water cooling rate due to distance of water stream travel through cold ambient air. The cost of spray cooling systems is low compared to water cooling towers. However, you need a pond or a water reservoir as a water source for your snowmaking. © 2010 Ratnik Industries Inc.
