What Is a Smoke Generator?
A Smoke Generator is a device designed to produce smoke.
This device is pivotal in visualizing airflow, particularly in ventilation systems and ducts, aiding in evaluating air movement and efficiency. In the realm of chemical experiments and demonstrations, smoke generators play a key role in visualizing phenomena, making them invaluable for educational purposes.
Smoke generators come in various types. The oil-based variety, the most common, creates smoke by heating oil, offering flexibility in smoke volume and color control. Steam-based generators, known for producing large volumes of smoke, are relatively safe, though color modification can be more challenging. Chemical generators, while capable of producing smaller smoke quantities and adaptable in color, require cautious handling due to potentially harmful substances.
