摘要: An elongated pipe conduit snow making tower, and assembly method, having an upper end spray nozzle head pivotally supported on a support for vertical inclination by hydraulic ram jack enabling infinite non-preselected incremental inclinations. A safety latch automatically latch/catches the tower if leaks. Secondary tertiary external flexible water hoses are selectable to feed associated snowmaking nozzles, internal compressed air feeds seeding nozzles. ball valve assemblies mounted block outlet coupled their respective hoses. In drain condition turbulent primary continually washes against flow closure side anti-freezing effect. The is four-piece modular planar stack up of disks each carrying nozzles that all discharge forwardly away from in generally parallel patterns.
