The Ate-AEROTECH wind tunnel smoke generator is designed to facilitate the observation of air movements in many types of flow situations. It is ideally suited for use in wind tunnels for aerodynamic testing. The portable smoke generator is easily transported to the site of investigation, is rapid and convenient to set up, is easy to use and above all non hazardous to health.
The smoke is produced by peristaltically pumping an innocuous, medicinal quality, white oil from the control unit to the tip of the probe, where a low voltage electrical coil heats it to produce a dense plume of smoke at exactly the point where it’s needed.
The Probe is shaped to minimise wake generation that would otherwise invalidate observations thus emission of the smoke into the air stream is smooth and steady and is easily controlled to suit prevailing conditions. A stable and clearly defined plume of smoke up to 5m in length can be generated in an aerodynamically clean duct.
