Fogger Residue

[ozbiz]

Hi.

We are looking at using a Rosco fogger and a Fog Cabin (basically a cooler with baffles, cage for ice (not dry), that will cool the output and give low lying fog, as much as the rosco can pump and until the ice melts (takes about 2 hrs).

 

Question: Since the fog will be at floor level :-), will/could their be glycol residue from the fog liquid on the floor?

 

Thanks

Yes. But probably not much.

Any residue that does build up is fairly easily removed with very hot water and a mop - you might need to scrub at it a bit but it will lift!

on the subject of low smoke. I have a Le maitre Freezefog Pro. used in conjunction with a G300 and Co2 Bottles.

When using Ducting I can easily make the "Dry ice Effect " travel down 5 meters of Ducting. But has anybody tried sending the effect up Ducting? ie: hole in the stage with the Freezefog under the stage? anybody tried it? looking at about 2 meters of ducting? any ideas to help achieve this idea welcomed as well.......

I haven't used the Le maitre one, but used a similar product, and had problems with the output trying to direct it up the ducting. Which makes sense really, as the idea behind it is that it stays low (because it is chilled). It just accumulated in the ducting, so had to re-think the design, the only way we could produce the required output was to have it come down the ducting.

had a little play last night with the unit. and worked well!! had to put a little cave round the hole in the stage to divert the smoke in the right direction. but was still the same as coming straight from the unit! :blink:

There are a number of ways of achieving this effect but the most commonly used is to have the Low Fogger (what ever it may be) producing the smoke with the ducting attached, and then at the point of getting it to go up you use an in line fan with a variable speed controller.

 

Bear in mind the further the smoke travels the more it heats up, so it is always a good idea to have a basket of either dry ice or standard ice at the end of the travel to cool everything back down again, you will find you need to have a large output of smoke for extremely long travels

 

We do sell them as well as alot of other wind movement systems, they are on the homepage of the website
