Abstract

In order to improve the atomization effect of the snowmaker, the numerical simulation method was used to study the influence of the structure parameters of the snowmaker, including the mixing chamber length and inlet diameter ratio, on the atomization effect of the snowmaker, and the influence of the gas-liquid relative velocity on the atomization particle size distribution was briefly analysed. The results show that different structural parameters directly affect the average diameter of the droplet. In order to ensure the atomization effect, the suitable length of the mixing chamber is 18 ~ 24 mm, and the angle between the inlet and the average diameter of the droplet is positively correlated, which provides a reference for optimizing the structural parameters of the snow crystal sprayer.
