The ViCount is probably the most effective fire training smoke system available today.
Depending on the grade of Smoke Oil selected, the smoke produced by the ViCount can persist to 200°C before layering commences, making the unit ideally suited to 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.
The great persistency of ViCount smoke makes it ideally suited to large volume smoke applications, such as tunnel testing (where smoke will travel several kilometres dependent on prevailing conditions) or building envelope testing.
Available as 110v / 230v smoke generator.
400hz versions of the ViCount are available to specific order.

Following the development by Concept of a sub micron smoke system running off the aircraft power supply, for the purpose of leak testing large volume aircraft.
The resulting report noted:
"With the visual aid of white smoke emitting from leakage areas, this was a quick and easy task to accomplish (< 10 minutes)."
It went onto conclude:
"Use of smoke as a means by which to detect cabin pressurization leaks has been shown to be extremely effective and is unquestionably superior to any alternative detection method used to date."
