Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for nebulizing liquids and/or gas/liquid mixtures.
  • the invention relates to a device for nebulizing water and/or an air/water mixture to produce artificial snow.
  • snow crystals are formed only in certain temperature and humidity conditions and if there are freezing nuclei in the atmosphere.
  • Devices for nebulizing water and/or an air/water mixture to produce artificial snow comprising a distributing body provided with nozzles.
  • the nozzles radially projecting from the distributing body, comprise nucleating nozzles and dispensing nozzles.
