| Mode of operation: |
| Physical change of the water‘s molecule strukture and reduction of the surface tension |
| Effect: |
| Better atomisation, smaller and better crystals |

| 1. Critical temperatures | |||||
 |
smaller drops can freeze easier |
||||
|
snow gets more dry and / or | ||||
|
more snow by more water possile | ||||
|
higher efficiency – less water lost | ||||
|
earlier preparation possible | ||||

|
Advantages in critical temperatures |
|
More throughput |
|
Better snow quality |
|
More durable slopes |
|

|||||
| 3. Stability | |||||
|
|
mechanical resistance grows: |
||||
| snow is more stable against skiers and preparation | |||||
|
less warm air can get into the snow | ||||
|
more fine snow reflects more sunlight (up to 90%) than coarse - grained snow (50%) | ||||
|
rain water gets less deep into the snow | ||||
