The CONCEPT SMOKE COLT 4 TURBO : 2.2KW is a professional-grade, portable smoke generator manufactured by Concept Smoke Systems. It is a powerful and robust handheld machine primarily designed for use in industrial, military, and safety-critical applications, such as fire training, leak testing, and airflow visualization.
Key Features
- High Smoke Output: The Colt 4 Turbo is known for its ability to produce a dense, persistent smoke. It features a 2.2kW heat exchanger, which gives it almost twice the smoke output of the standard Colt 4.
- "Off-Power" Capability: A significant feature is its ability to operate without being connected to a power source. Once the heat exchanger is warmed up, the unit can be disconnected and carried from room to room, producing smoke using its stored thermal energy.
- Persistent, Non-Toxic Smoke: The machine produces a water-based, non-toxic smoke with a very small particle size (0.2-0.3 micron). This small particle size is what makes the smoke so persistent and allows it to effectively fill large volumes and remain visible for extended periods. It also means the smoke is very dry and leaves no discernible residue.
- Robust Construction: The Colt 4 Turbo is built to be durable, with a precision-machined heat exchanger that comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is used by various organizations worldwide, including fire authorities and NATO forces, attesting to its reliability and ruggedness.
- Ease of Use: The unit uses pre-filled, re-sealable aluminum canisters containing the smoke chemical and an inert propellant gas. This makes it simple to operate and reduces the number of moving parts, enhancing reliability.
- Versatile Applications: While it is a popular choice for fire and breathing apparatus training, it is also used for a wide range of other applications, including:
- Leak testing buildings, pipes, and containers.
- Airflow visualization in HVAC systems and laboratories.
- Special effects for film and television.
