Oil-based and water-based fog - what's the
difference?
Oil-based fog hangs in the air for much
longer than water based fog, as the fog particles doesn't
evaporate as quickly. It is perfectly safe, non-toxic and
does not leave residue! Oil based fog has a temperature resistance
of up to 180 celcius.
Extremely efficient
fluid consumption
You may notice a reduction in smoke fluid consumption by 80
- 90% with these systems compared to water-based smoke machines
for similar if not better
smoke
densities.
Zero maintenance
No routine maintenance is required as the unit automatically
purges itself after every smoke issue. 4 models are available
for different needs. Users from fire training centres to theme
parks throughout the world have selected these machines as
their primary
smoke
system.
HEPA Tests
Smoke particle size is consistently 0.2 - 0.3 microns in diameter,
so they are ideal for HEPA filtration tests. ('Entertainment'
fog machines' particle size can be anything up to 60 microns).
They also use the approved oil chemical for HEPA tests (water
based smoke is not officially suitable for these tests).
Leak Tests / Air Flow Visualisation
Ideally suited to large building envelope tests - the smoke
hangs for up to 4 hours without evaporating or layering (unlike
water based smoke) so you can fill huge areas effectively
and efficiently for air tightness testing work.
Wind Tunnels Visualisation
/ Air Flow Analysis
In LVA / PIV laser doppler animomitry the fog particles faithfully
follow flow dynamics. The fog does not dissipate due to air
movement even at high wind speeds, ideal for open ended wind
tunnels, large or small. For visual perspective in closed
(recirculating) small wind tunnels (not PIV LVA) you can reprogram
the machine to use type B water based fluid which disperses
quickly.
Smoke Detector Tests
Unlike water-based smoke, oil-based smoke can be given thermal
buoyancy to closely replicate hot rising smoke from a real
fire. Ideal if your smoke detectors are very high up in the
ceiling. The smoke is persistent to 180C.
Theme Parks / Installations
Reliability and running costs are the main factors for fixed
installations. These machines excel in both.
TV / Film
Ideal for filming as it maintains constant smoke levels for
up to four hours on a closed set - no need to keep topping-up
fog levels which could cause continuity problems.

The units can also be adjusted to use our water-based
fluids (both quick dispersing and persistent) for further
flexibility in special effects or wind tunnels (dispersion
rates 1.5 minutes - 1.5 hours). |
Smoke from these units can be given thermal buoyancy
to give realistic hot smoke for smoke detector tests,
such as this one at Airbus.
