The Special Effect Expert in Cold Flow and LSG Low Lying Smoke Florida - Tampa - Orlando - Miami and Servicing Countrywide Low Lying Smoke Effect Specialist since 1996 We are very experienced in providing special effects cryogenic applications for live events. We have provided these effects countrywide for the past 10 years. We were doing cryogenic effects just about before anyone else. Low-Lying Fog has always been a challenge for show producers who work in theatrical productions, sporting events, business theater, theme parks or touring shows. We have the solution for superior performance for Low-Lying Fog effects. Our expertise using the LSG Cold Flow System allows us to provide you with produce huge volumes of pure white fog crawling ground smoke continuously with a push of a button. It's economical too; the expendables operating costs are only about $3.00 per minute of operation! This long lasting low lying fog effect that always remains low to the ground traveling up to 40 feet residue free and does not need the fire alarms turn off. The C02 disappears in seconds leaving once shut off and leaves no trace particles of smoke, we will never set off a smoke alarm. The machine was engineered and designed to operate to never release any smoke that could set off an alarm. We leave the room clean.
A Popular effect that is was seen on TV Shows like American Idol finale
2009 We can cover an entire ballroom floor or just by the ballroom entrance doorway for a walk-in WOW effect. We can make our cold flow fog into a walk-in overhead curtain effect in any number of configurations. Why use cold flow? Most use the cold flow as a surprise element to an over all theme. It's a theatrical effect used on Broadway shows and its very dramatic. It can change the look of a room and allow the audience to forget they are in the same space for the evening party as the opening session. A great match with our snow effects for that frosty look any time of year. We offer full service or rental services of the LSG Cold Flow equipment.

How it all Works The LSG with the G-300 smoke machine fluids vaporization forces pushes out a mixture from the output nozzle where, when it mixes with the ambient air, it forms an opaque aerosol (fog). This technology uses a liquid C02 dewar tank to the cool the smoke in a accumulator box, generating a consistent effect at sub zero temperatures. The vaporization forces of the smoke machine within the accumulator box produces the force full output of the LSG. This process enables you to produce large quantities of low lying fog on a continuous basis without cue time limitations or the messy water residue associated with other technologies. The fog is made up of tiny droplets of glycol that form around the small particles in the air. The suspended droplets reflect the light, which is why fog will take on the color of the light illuminating it. |

Above - LSG unit using duct hose to gain access to a boom lift at a concert. The smoke hides the duct hose. You have the ability to create huge volumes of heavy fog on cue without the mess and inconvenience of dry ice. It takes only seconds to cover an area and goes away on cue as well. Below- A corporate event we produced Low Lying Cold Flow Smoke for a convention walk-in with snow falling as well. This is a great combo of snow machines and a walk through a chilly clouds of frosty ground cover while the temp outside was 117%F in AZ. We're often hired by Disney Special Effects Dept. to provide low lying for promotional off property events, like for the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Tampa Florida. |

We have such good control of volume and have many methods to make curtains, and continuous coverage. We have done some huge areas, arenas and ballrooms. We understand these machine better than most. |

WakeBoarding Magazine Wake Awards Low lying Fog
We been providing C02 - LSG effects for over 10 years for sporting events
and corporate clients. We are cryogenic experts and our experience will
make this work effect 100%. |
The
LSG system produces an incredible low-lying fog effect. The system utilizes
a smoke machine and a special cryogenic unit, the LSG. This system combined
with a CO2 dewar tank, produces a constant, large volume of fog at the
push of a button. Water Base Fog Technology is achieved by pumping a Glycol/
Processed Water mixture through a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has
been heated to the point where at the fog fluid mixture will vaporize. |
We use a cryogenic solenoid valve to allow liquid carbon dioxide (LC02) to enter a containment chamber where it converted into dry ice. The fog passing through the cooling chamber it is chilled. The LSG uses liquid C02 to chill the smoke to as cold as - 50 degrees. The chilled fog will lie low to the ground or drop to the lowest point. |
WCW PPV wresting Halloween Havoc We were a suppliers for WCW in 1998 and provided 4 hours of continuous LSG from 4 Units In the MGM Arena for a WCW PPV event. We refilled the Dewars from a refilling supply truck. We made ground cover fog the entire set.

A LSG cold flow unit can cover a 30 x 40 + area knee high with containment. While our portable Cold Flow unit can cover 20 x 20 6-8 inches high

We were the major suppliers of Special Effect Smoke Accelerators in action revealing wrestlers, We were providing LSG effects powered by C02 jets back in 1998. We used 4 LSG's 4 custom venturi plumbing. Who was doing these effects in 10 years ago, not many and it was Zigmont Magic FX. |
In 1998 the biggest cryogenic effect ever seen was on TV and provided by Zigmont Magic FX Zigmont's execution of the disappearances and reappearances for "Warrior" around the stadium was the rebirth of this superhero wrestler back into the wrestling world. Zigmont used a gale force cryogenics smoke system and illusionary devices to accomplish the task. The photos below are of Hollywood Hogan as the Warrior appears in the center ring. We have 33 hours logged with WCW. Two LSG units can fill a ice rink with low ground fog, the ice really helps the effect stay in place. It will take two LSG's 15 minutes to fill. |
|
The Dewar tank can be up to 300 feet away, but the cold flow cyro from the LSG box is best when kept as short (25ft or less) as possible. Whereas 50 pounds of dry ice will give a 15-minute effect when dropped in hot water, a comparable tank of LCO2 can last for hours. The Tank Types & Pressures: *
50 lb. LCO2 tank Maximum Operating Pressure: 1000 psig (69 BAR). weight
170 pounds. 180 Liter Bulk Tank (396lbs of CO2 Liquid/753 pounds) (350 psi max pressure) CGA-320 Fitting 50 Lb Tank/170 pounds (22 Liters)(800 psi @ - 70 degrees) We can Duct 50 feet horizontally or 20 feet vertically,but not at the same time. |
We will provide a dewar dolly. Dewars or Bulk Cryogenic Gas tanks are very heavy (700lbs!) and thus awkward to move. This specifically designed hand truck takes most of the pain out of the process of manhandling the tanks around. Bulk cryogenic CO2 tanks (Dewars) have built in over pressure blow off valves set to 350psi. As pressure builds inside the take due to atmospheric warming, use of the pressure builder, or a freshly filled tank coming up to temperature, the blow off valve releases pressure in excess of 350psi. An important safety feature of the tank, it can however be noisy and disruptive to your production when it happens. Our Dewar Mufflers (see in photos below) are set to 300psi and connect to the CGA 320 “Gas” outlet fitting on the Dewar thus safely preempting the pressure relief on the tank. For added sound baffling and increased CO2 dispersion, our mufflers can be located remotely from the tank with an appropriate length of compatible hose. See in photo below. The second photo is a muffler cap for weeping valve release noise control. We have it under control, as we can take the relief valve out of the room, theater or building! |
Curtains or Walls of Flowing cryogenics is a Specialty that we provide! A LSG demo of a 20 high 20 long Fog Curtain The curtain or walls work best when the LSG is even with the pipe plumbing for the effect. We can pipe the cyro upward but the cold flow like to travel downward and to the lowest point. Forcing it up and through long distances will warm up the fog. The Fog doesn't like shape 90% turns in the flow and again will warm up the effect. Our pipes have a special coating to keep the cold flow chilly. Below is a diagram drawing and above a photo of our largest curtain which is a 10 inch pipe curtain effect, we have 8 inch and 6 inch pipe curtains as well as curtain nozzles and pockets effects. We also can supply a Cyro Manifold box 10" induct to 4" out put ducts which has 8 - 4 inch outlets. This can supply fog to many locations for a even effect. |

Yes the cyro after its travels downward crawls the floor. A LSG demo of a 20 high 20 long Fog Curtain We can provide a gentle quiet flow of cyro in the form of a down flow wall or curtain effect. We have many custom curtain configurations that will achieve what ever desired effect is required. We can provide a 10 foot curtain or a 30 foot wall of cryogenics We can use cold flow to come up through stage pockets or traveling tower platforms. The Fog distribution in an enclosed area depends on air flow and temperature. Natural air movement, air conditioning and other ventilation systems will affect movement. |
Fog Curtain nozzle at 18 feet using a fan nozzle does a 10-14 foot wide curtain Cold flow fog wants to travel downward, so its better to have the cold flow generator even with the curtain effect plumbing. We do pipe up the cold flow to the curtain release pipe, we need to use more cyro at a higher setting to gain the same effect. As the cold flow fog/smoke will warm up as it travels upward or for long distances. |
We always hear that the ground fog doesn't work well outdoors. We have successfully covered out doors and made it look natural. As you can see from these photos. |
The above photo has camouflage covering the Dewar or VGL tank and LSG unit on the walking path. We can make the effect work outside as seen in these photos. |

Very often, it's desirable to have Dry Ice fog to stay low to the ground for when the LSG is not affordable to use or ship. Dry Ice Effect is created by immersing solid Carbon Dioxide material (-90 C) into Hot Water (+90 C). The resultant mix is in fact - frozen steam. For you techies - Carbon Dioxide is the only material, known to man that goes from the solid state to the gaseous state without going through the liquid phase.
The Dry Icer machine is the traditional Mist/Fog machine - lightweight yet powerful. The rate of flow is easily controlled, and the unit’s 20 IBS dry ice capacity gives approximately 5 minutes of fog production.The Dry Ice blocks (or slices) are placed in the suspended basket above the heated water and the lid fixed down. When ready, the handle (shown in photograph) is lowered - thereby immersing the solid dry ice into the hot water. The unit can cover 20x20 plus. The expanding gas/water mixture is forced out the snout or the tube, if attached.
4 step flow rate control and water level indicator.
