Abstract

UN METODO Y DISPOSITIVO PARA LA PRODUCCION DE NIEVE ARTIFICIAL. EL DISPOSITIVO (FIG. 1) COMPRENDE UN MEDIOAMBIENTE (3) DONDE LA TEMPERATURA, HUMEDAD Y/O OTRAS CONDICIONES AMBIENTALES ESTAN ADAPTADAS PARA SER CONTROLADAS. EL DISPOSITIVO TAMBIEN DISPONE DE AL MENOS UN CAÑON DE NIEVE (10), CON UNA ALCACHOFA, QUE ESTA SITUADO DENTRO O CERCA DEL MEDIO (3). DENTRO DEL MEDIO (3) LA HUMEDAD Y LA TEMPERATURA PUEDEN SER CONTROLADAS POR UN DESHUMIDIFICADOR (8) Y UN CONGELADOR (8) REFRIGERADOR, DE MANERA QUE LAS CONDICIONES DENTRO DEL MEDIO (3) SEAN SATISFACTORIAS PARA LA PRODUCCION DE NIEVE. ALTERNATIVAMENTE, EL MICRO MEDIO CONTROLADO PUEDE ESTAR PROVISTO DE ALCACHOFAS Y SUS CONDICIONES DE HUMEDAD Y TEMPERATURA DEL MEDIO CERCANO A LAS ALCACHOFAS (16) (FIG. 3) ESTAN CONTROLADASA METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ARTIFICIAL SNOW. THE DEVICE (FIG. 1) INCLUDES AN ENVIRONMENT (3) WHERE TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND / OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE ADAPTED TO BE CONTROLLED. THE DEVICE ALSO HAS AT LEAST A SNOW CANNON (10), WITH AN ARTICHOKE, WHICH IS LOCATED INSIDE OR NEAR THE MIDDLE (3). INSIDE THE MIDDLE (3) HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY A DEHUMIDIFIER (8) AND A FREEZER (8) REFRIGERATOR, SO THAT THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THE MIDDLE (3) ARE SATISFACTORY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SNOW. ALTERNATIVELY, THE CONTROLLED MICRO MEDIA MAY BE PROVIDED WITH ARTICHOKES AND THEIR HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS NEAR THE ARTICHOKES (16) (FIG. 3) ARE CONTROLLED
