That's good work Tino. However, given that the current production is limited to zero degrees to +5 degrees, depending on the system, these guys are displaying the art of the possible. my view is that is a marketing mistake, 8 or 9 deg would be useful, where the feed water is likely to be lower than 5 deg.
The impractical point seems to be the size of the plant, implying high ditribution costs.

No problem

Errm, Brooksy might be?

I'm going at New Year, there will be masses of snow! Ski buses are a fact of life on most of the schiwelt. You can get directly onto the lift at Ellmau.

The technology is simple, in that it operates in the same way as a fridge. No chemicals are involved in the process, so in that respect it is environmentall friendly.
However, there are some drawbacks. Power consumption at 187 kwh per ton of snow, will, in warmer times, need to be increased in order to pump the chill water.
Then the plant is large and heavy, so the snow will have to be distributed.
