A fog machine fog generator or smoke machine is a device that emits a dense vapor that appears similar to fog or smoke this artificial fog is most commonly used in professional entertainment applications but smaller more affordable fog machines are becoming common for personal use fog machines can also be found in use in a variety of industrial training and some military applications.
Liquid nitrogen smoke machine.
Liquid nitrogen is the liquefied form of the element nitrogen that s produced commercially by the fractional distillation of liquid air.
This means it enters a gas phase just like water does when it boils.
A machine heats water to at or near the boiling point creating steam and increasing the humidity in a closed container.
Liquid nitrogen n 2 is used to create low lying fog effects in a manner similar to dry ice.
Other types of smoke machine include dry ice machines which create a low lying heavy fog that uses dry ice solid carbon dioxide liquid nitrogen which also creates a low lying fog oil based smoke machines similar in principle to water based machines but uses an oil rather than a water base the smoke can withstand much higher.
A recent development is the conversion of the system from liquid nitrogen to liquid air which eliminates any need for oxygen depletion monitoring and means the effect can be used as much or as little as required with no adverse effects on health or worries about respiratory problems.
Smoke can be made by either letting the nitrogen off gas naturally or by using a fan to blow the smoke where it is wanted.
Although dry ice can give you frostbite liquid nitrogen is cold enough to cause considerable tissue damage and death.
Liquid nitrogen facts.
Like nitrogen gas it consists of two nitrogen atoms sharing covalent bonds n 2.
So despite the name s smoke machine or fogger they just very quickly boil liquids into a vapour.
Liquid nitrogen presents a serious hazard to the user.
