ViCount Compact Smoke Generator

Extremely high temperature resistance (to 180°C) Automatic purge cleaning operation, maintenance free 10 year parts warranty, precision machined heat exchanger, guaranteed for life! Digital temperature control & solid state switching The ViCount is also ideally suited to leak and air flow testing for large applications. Its incredibly efficient fluid use (down to around 10% that of water based machines) and zero maintenance makes it ideal for fixed installations in fire training centres as well as theme parks and attractions. Oil-based smoke is very persistent compared to water-based types and therefore doesn't evaporate or layer even when filling large areas. And as it uses less fluid, the smoke produced is even safer.

Manufactured for Pea Soup, the ViCount is probably the most effective smoke system available today. The smoke produced by the ViCount can persist to 180 - 200°C before layering commences, making the unit ideal for hot fire training applications. However, even if training or smoke logging in unheated conditions, the smoke produced by the ViCount will out-perform all conventional water based alternatives, whilst dramatically reducing the consumption of smoke chemical. Typically, users of water based glycol smoke systems can experience reductions of 80 - 90% in smoke chemical consumption, for similar if not better smoke densities. With no routine maintenance required on the ViCount, and a choice of heat exchanger capacities to suit fire training needs, it's no wonder fire training centres throughout the world have selected it as their primary smoke system. Particle size is a consistent 0.2 - 0.3 microns in diameter, making the unit ideally suited to testing HEPA filtration. Available as 230v or 110v (please specify when ordering).

Ducting Accessories
DUCTING ADAPTORS & HOSE    Ducting adaptors attach to the front of the machine to allow secure connection of ducting hose to allow smoke to be positioned precisely, in hard to reach places or inside containers. All our ducting hoses are now internally lined to be smooth thereby reducing frictional losses. When you duct smoke, you are restricting the smoke particles so deposition in the hose over time is inevitable. Using this machine and this type of hose, deposition is minimised.
75mm diameter ducting adaptor
75mm diameter lined flexible ducting x 10 metre length
50mm diameter ducting adaptor
50mm diameter lined flexible ducting x 10 metre length
25mm diameter ducting adaptor
25mm silicon lined flexible ducting x 2 metre length Stays rigid - ideal for clearance and air flow tests use as a 'wand'. Silicon lined to resist heat from the smoke at this small diameter.
25mm silicon lined flexible ducting x 4 metre length As above, but a 4 metre length
25mm neoprene lined flexible ducting x 2 metre length
25mm neoprene lined flexible ducting x 4 metre length
PS Centrifugal Blower Fan Continuously rated fan suitable for use with the ViCount to blow fog through ducting / pipework. Output can be ducted using 75mm diameter hose above. Complete with stand suitable for the height of your Vicount unit. 230/110v. 3 week lead time.
Smoke Filtration Units filter smokey air effectively extracting all smoke in situations where venting the smoke to the outside is not possible.
