The versatility and scope of Corona’s Smoke Generators is truly surprising and limited only by imagination.

Air Flow Visualization

Corona smoke is used to trace air movement to facilitate with product design, testing and safety assessment at scientific establishments, R&D facilities, and in wind tunnels and design laboratories. Users vary from NASA and Dell Computers, to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories and Sverdrup Technology.

Testing Smoke Detection and Smoke Extraction
Equipment and Systems

Smoke and Fire Detection System Installers and Building Control Engineers use Corona's Vicount 180 to verify airflow, smoke detection and extraction efficiency in large buildings, including atrium style buildings and shopping centers.   

Quality Assurance Monitoring

Smoke serves to test and monitor manufacturing processes and product quality. Continental Plastic Containers, West Point Foundry and Moltech Power Systems are amongst Corona’s customers.

Fire Training

Corona’s machines serve a broad range of fire training drills. The versatility of the ‘portable’ units (Colt) suits certain conditions, while specialized fire training centers use the larger machines (Vicount and Spirit) often in tandem fashion with a shared fluid dispensing system (Los Angeles County Fire Department, Vancouver Fire Academy and McDonalds Kids Fire Safety House).

Evacuation and Emergency Training

Corona’s machines can either produce persistent or quickly dispersing smoke for evacuation training (Vicount or Spirit). They are used by Princess Cruises, B.C. Ferry Corporation, Link Miles - Submarine Simulators and international airlines for evacuation training.

Leak Testing

Corona’s smoke is used to detect leaks in homes, silos, sewers, chimneys, cargo holds of aircraft and ships, freight containers, vehicles and fire sprinkler systems. Customers range from the City of Yakima, to Benteler Automotive Corporation and Kvaerner Chemetics.

Military Applications

Armed forces in a variety of countries (the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands) use Corona machines (Colt and Artem ) for battlefield simulation, anti terrorism and safety training.

Aviation Industry Applications

The world’s largest aircraft manufacturers (Boeing, Bombardier and Lockheed) use Corona machines (Colt and Vicount Aviator) for design and certification.

Security and Theft Prevention

The reliability of Corona technology and it's smoke quality are uniquely suited as a security tool. Corona's Smoke Screen units are specially designed to instantly confront intruders with large volumes of smoke to prevent entry and theft.

Vapor Barrier Quality Check

Increasingly authorities allow the use of contaminated land for new construction. Regulations typically call for the installation of a ground barrier covering the entire construction site to guard against health hazards from escaping methane gas or any other pollutant.

Corona's machines serve to conduct a smoke test confirming a quality seal, and that the infiltration protection is effective.
