Cold Flow and LSG Smoke

Low Lying Ground covering fog and fog curtains

crawling fog at party

Produces huge volumes of pure white fog. The effect is long lasting and dry and residue free, remaining low lying
and very cold. Always dry and no haze smoke produced. Fire alarms do not be to be turned off as no smoke is
produced.

LSG (Low Smoke Generator) can create a beautiful cloud of low fog on the ground. 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.

low ground fog

We can provide the entire ballroom, arena floor or ourdoor area with low lying ground covering fog. We been doing these C02 effects for over 10 years for sports and corporate clients. We made ground cover fog at the MGM arena Vegas in 1998 for WCW PPV wresting Halloween Havoc for 4 hours straight for the entire set

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 cyrogenic solenoid valve to allow liquid carbon dioxide (LC02) to enter a contianment chamber where it converted into dry ice. The fog passing through the cooling chamber it is chilled. The chilled fog will lie low to the ground or drop to the lowest point.

Pro Sports with Magic FX providing ther LSG

Zigmonts' 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.

Whereas 50 pounds of dry ice will give a 15-minute effect when dropped in hot water, a comparable tank of LCO2 canlast for hours.

We use Tank type & pressures:

* 50 lb. LCO2 tank Maximum Operating Pressure: 1000 psig (69 BAR).
* Portable Cryogenic VGL Cylinder Maximum Operating Pressure: 435 psig (30 BAR). Minimum Operating Pressure: 290 psig (20 BAR).

The Fog distribution inan enclosed area depends on air flow and temperature. Natural air movement, air conditioning and other ventilation systems will affect movement.

Cold flow smoke and fog wants to travel down so its better to have the cold flow generator even with the curtain plumbing. If we plumb up to the curtain release pipe, less of an effect cold effect can occur

The fluids own vaporization forces the hot mixture out of the output nozzle where, when it
mixes with the ambient air, it forms an opaque aerosol (fog). 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.
The technology uses liquid C02 to the cool the fog, generating a consistent effect at sub zero temperatures. 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.
