The SnowRoom is built in such a way that only high-density materials are used (e.g. triple glazing, high-quality PUR foam insulation panels for low heat loss), so that the room can maintain the required temperature. It can basically be said that a SnowRoom needs about the same amount of energy as a sauna. In addition, the waste heat from the SnowRoom can be recycled. Depending on the on-site conditions, up to 90% of the electrical energy fed in can be recovered via a heat exchanger and reused to heat water, for example. This is an efficient solution in hotels, for example, where waste heat is used to heat the swimming pool water. On a case-by-case basis, together with the customer, we examine which options are available to make practical use of the residual heat.
The water consumption is very low, thanks to the patented technology, 5 liters of snow can be produced from 1 liter of water. The weekly consumption of a SnowRoom is about 200 liters of water. By comparison, 10-15 liters of water per minute flow in the shower.
