PPV & Impulse Ventilation Testing
- Giving invaluable, highly realistic hands on training
- Fixed installations or portable systems
- Smoke does not evaporate like conventional water based training smoke
- Teach candidates to clear smoke-filled environments quickly & efficiently
- Used to demonstrate the pros and cons of negative & positive pressure ventilation
- 50 years experience in the generation of artificial smoke
When water-based artificial smoke is introduced into a rapidly moving air stream, the particles that make up the artificial smoke evaporate much more quickly than they do in a static environment.
So if you are looking to produce an artificial smoke that better represents the smoke created by a real fire, we would always recommend the ViCount smoke generator, the smoke from which is virtually unaffected by fast moving air streams. Used world wide PPV training centre's and to test impulse ventilation systems.
A Home Office report into PPV (Positive pressure Ventilation) by the Head of the Fire Experimental Unit, Fire Research & Development concluded that the concept behind the technique of PPV was relatively easy to understand and the equipment simple to operate, but stressed the need for extensive training.
Our Users Say:
"We use smoke generators for fire simulations and positive pressure ventilation training for approx 10 hours per week. The smoke adds realistic conditions for Fire Fighters to train in but with safety in mind.
Compared to our other generators, the Spirit 900 has much lower running costs."

"We have been using the ViCount unit now for some time as our main method of generating smoke for air leakage path identification as part of building airtightness tests.
The speed at which the unit builds smoke is very impressive and consistently in line with the guidance given by yourselves.
The nature and density of the smoke produced proves very effective when observed from outside the building giving sufficient time for and allowing easy observation of emerging smoke and leakage paths. The very persistent effect has allowed us to test buildings with volumes up to 40,000 m3 with just two units.
The very dry nature of smoke (i.e. small particle size) has meant that there have been no instances of contamination of the buildings following the test.
We have found the continuing technical support provided by Concept to be prompt and effective in answering queries and allowing us to get the most out of our equipment."
