CORONA VICOUNT SMOKE GENERATOR

The VICOUNT smoke generator represents state-of-the-art technology and uses only a fraction of the amount of fluid used in conventional water-based generators. Capable of continuous smoke output and remote operation, the Vicount is ideally suited for a full range of applications: Fire fighting, evacuation training, airflow visualization, leak detection, etc.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Corona smoke oil is broken down into a fine mist by adding an inert gas such as CO2 or Nitrogen. The mist is passed under pressure into a heat exchanger, where it vaporizes. The vapor condenses on reaching the air to form a visible, dry, dense "smoke". The liquid particles produced by the Vicount have a diameter much smaller than that of its competitors. They hold less than one hundredth the amount of liquid and drop at a rate that is fourteen times slower. The smoke produced by the Vicount is resistant to temperatures of up to 180° C (355° F), making the unit ideal for training in heated areas or chambers where water-based smokes will quickly break down. Smoke fluid consumption is reduced by up to 90% when compared with water-based smokes in similar circumstances, while creating a much denser, smoke filled environment. The Vicount can produce smoke at maximum output continuously. No re-heating cycle is required.
