Designed to facilitate the observation of air movements in many types of situations, Concept's Aerotech Smoke Generator is ideally suited for use in wind tunnels and indoor room flow tests.
It is easily transported to the site of investigation, is rapid and convenient to set up and is easy to use. The smoke is a stable and clearly defined plume up to 5 m in length and can be generated in an aerodynamically clean duct. The probe is shaped to minimise wake generation that would otherwise invalidate observations.
Features
The unit is easily transported, has a rapid warm up time and simple to set up and use, and produces a controllable, non hazardous smoke effect.
The Concept Aerotech Smoke Wand produces a point source of smoke on the end of a 425 mm long stainless steel "wand". Commonly used when a very precise point source of aerosol smoke is required.
The smoke is produced by peristaltically pumping an innocuous, medicinal quality white oil to the tip of a probe, where a low voltage electrical coil heats it to produce a dense plume of smoke, at exactly the point where it is needed.
The probe is shaped to minimise wake generation, ensuring that the smoke can be entrained into the airstream smoothly. A stable and clearly defined plume of smoke up to 5 m in length can be generated.
Variable controls to adjust smoke thickness and operating temperature.
