"There are several systems for making snow indoors

Our system is a grown in flight system which basically atomises liquid water droplets into a below freezing environment where the air is also below 100% humidity

No need to control air pressure

We have devised a special cooling system that does not require dehumidification so is quite simple in operation

The snow crystals grow in flight through air at minus 6 Deg Centigrade and fully metamorph before landing

We operate at minus 1.5 Deg C normally

The snow makers are specially designed for indoor use to make particles between 10 and 50 microns diameter (outdoor snow makers make 250 to 500 microns)

We also cool the floor to create constructive metamorphism in the 500mm base of snow to maintain the quality this also provides a useful thermal store to cut plant size and reduce running costs

We use hot and cold energy recovery to help capital and running costs

Energy use is less than an office building

I hope this helps
