Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of technical snow production, for example for winter sports both outdoors (e.g. ski slopes, cross-country ski trails, ski jumps) and indoors (e.g. ski halls).
  • technical snow production is becoming increasingly important.
  • Most of the systems used for large-scale snowmaking can be classified into the main groups of fan guns (so-called "snow cannons") or lance snow guns. These systems require a luminous bulb temperature (cooling limit) of the ambient air of theoretically a maximum of 0 ° C and below 0 ° C in practice.
  • water is sprayed into the ambient air by means of at least one water or water / air nozzle.
  • the water can come from a storage lake or storage basin for supplying many propeller machines or lance snow producers and can be cooled by means of at least one evaporation cooling tower, which is constructed in the vicinity of the storage lake or basin.
  • the water used to produce snow when it is fed to the at least one nozzle, typically has a temperature of a few degrees above 0 ° C.
  • the finely sprayed water in the ambient air quickly cools down to freezing point (approx. 0 ° C) and freezes.
  • the heat released is at least partly dissipated by evaporative cooling, with part of the water emerging from the nozzle evaporating.
  • the formation of snow crystals starts with nucleation nuclei, which are usually formed by rapid subcooling of water with the help of expanding air at the above-mentioned water / air nozzles or special nucleator nozzles operated with compressed air.
  • EP 1 600 711 A2 shows an indoor snow system with nozzles, to which dry compressed air with a temperature of well below 0 ° C and water with a temperature of about 0 ° C are supplied. Furthermore, the interior (indoor ski area) is cooled to a temperature in the range of 0 ° C by air conditioning.
  • small ice crystals are formed inside a machine, for example in the system according to CN 107024049 A.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that in snow-making systems with at least one water or water / air nozzle, the snow-forming properties are particularly good if the water expelled from the at least one nozzle soon reaches the freezing temperature (approx. 0 ° C., depending on the prevailing air pressure) or, in some configurations, this temperature is already present when it emerges from the nozzle.
  • the invention therefore proposes a snow-making system that has a snow-making assembly and a refrigerator.
  • the snow production module can be a snow generator known per se (for example in the form of a propeller machine or a snow maker) or at least be derived from such a known snow maker within the scope of the usual professional skill and taking into account the teaching of the present document.
  • the refrigeration machine as such is either known per se or is derived from a known refrigeration machine within the scope of the skilled person and taking into account the teaching of the present document.
  • the invention is primarily seen in the combination of the snow making assembly and the chiller.
  • the snow-making method there is also the combination of the steps that snow-making water is cooled by means of a refrigeration machine, and that the snow-making water cooled by the refrigeration machine and / or a mixture of air and the snow-making water cooled by the refrigeration machine through one or more nozzles of a snow-making machine. Assembly is / are ejected. In some configurations, the process is carried out outdoors - in particular not in an interior such as a ski hall or other hall - executed.
  • snow can be efficiently produced in good quality even at limit temperatures - i.e. at wet bulb temperatures in the range of at most 0 ° C to just below 0 ° C.
  • the invention is not restricted to this temperature range. If the snow-making water is subcooled in some configurations, it is even possible to produce snow at wet bulb temperatures of slightly above 0 ° C.
  • the system according to the invention also has advantages at temperatures below the absolute limit range. It has been shown in practice that known installations with cooling towers do not always work satisfactorily even at temperatures below the absolute limit range. Even in cold weather conditions, it is not possible to feed strongly supercooled water into the lines that run from the storage lake or hedges to the snow guns, otherwise the lines could ice up. However, if the water fed in has a temperature of approximately 0 ° C, it heats up to a few degrees above 0 ° C due to geothermal energy until it arrives at the snow guns. This is because of the warmer soil, especially in early winter when a technical Snow production is particularly important for creating a good snow base. Furthermore, in the case of evaporative cooling, there is an open cooling circuit which must necessarily be arranged in front of the feed pumps to the snow guns. The power loss of the pumps then leads to a further heating of the snow-making water.
  • the effects just mentioned can lead to the fact that the snow-making water arriving at the snow-making equipment is warmer than it would be desirable for good snow production even in cold weather conditions.
  • the evaporative cooling towers require a few degrees of temperature difference between the wet bulb temperature and the temperature of the snow-making water that can actually be achieved by evaporative cooling, and then the above-mentioned heating on the way to the snow-making equipment and the pumps and piping is added.
  • the solution according to the invention enables efficient water cooling to a desired temperature range - which is generally lower than would be achievable with known systems at limit temperatures.
  • embodiments of the invention can be designed such that, in all weather conditions that are even suitable for snow production, the snow-making water exits the one or more nozzles and has a temperature of at most 4.0 ° C. and preferably at most 2.0 ° C and more preferably at most 1.0 ° C. These temperature ranges already represent a considerable advantage over the prior art.
  • the snowmaking water is subcooled by the refrigeration machine, so that it emerges from the one or more nozzles at a temperature of less than 0.0 ° C. In the latter case, nucleation nuclei are formed immediately upon exiting the nozzle or nozzles, which are then immediately in thermal equilibrium with the droplets of the snow-making water that is expelled.
  • the snow making assembly having one or more nozzles for ejecting the snow making water and / or a mixture of air and the snow making water
  • the snow-making assembly can also contain further nozzles, which are provided in addition to the “one or more nozzles” mentioned. In some configurations, however, all the nozzles of the snow-making assembly have the claimed properties.

  • the refrigerator and the snow-making assembly can rest on a common foundation and / or be attached to a common frame and / or be installed in a common housing.
  • the refrigerator and the snow-making assembly are two separate assemblies.
  • the refrigeration machine and the snow-making assembly are at a relatively small spatial distance from one another, which is, for example, at most 1.0 m and preferably at most 3.0 m.
  • Such a small spatial distance helps to avoid undesired heating of the water cooled by the refrigerator in a line leading to the snow-making assembly.
  • embodiments of the invention are also provided in which this distance is greater.
  • the chiller and the snow making assembly are connected by an (insulated or non-insulated) conduit for the cooled snow water that is in the ambient air and / or within a housing and / or in the ground but less deep than the depth of frost runs.
  • a line network is provided which has at least one main water line fed by a storage lake or basin and a plurality of branch lines branching off from it.
  • the snow-making system has a plurality of snow-producing assemblies and a plurality of refrigeration machines, each of which is individually associated with one another (ie in a 1: 1 relationship).
  • these systems there are several pairs of exactly one chiller and exactly one snow-making module, so that the chiller only supplies its assigned snow-making module with cooled snow-making water, and the snow-making module is exclusively supplied by this chiller. This does not rule out the fact that in such systems further snow-making assemblies and / or further chillers are provided which do not have the above-mentioned 1: 1 relationship.
  • the snow-making water is already under pressure in the refrigerator, for example under at least half the operating pressure.
  • these can be embodiments in which the snow-making system does not have its own feed pumps for the snow-making water, so that the inlet pressure of the snow-making water in the refrigerator is approximately as high or (because of the pressure loss in a heat exchanger of the refrigerator, through which the snow-making water flows) somewhat is higher than the operating pressure.
  • the operating pressure can be more than 2 bar or preferably more than 5 bar or even more preferably more than 10 bar.
  • the snow-making water in a heat exchanger of the refrigerator is at least half the operating pressure with which the snow-making assembly receives the snow-making water, and preferably at least 80% or at least 90% or at least 100% of this operating pressure.
  • the snow-making water in a heat exchanger of the refrigerator is at least half the operating pressure with which at least one nozzle receives the snow-making water, and preferably at least 80% or at least 90% or at least 100% of this operating pressure.
