FS200 smoke generator – professional leak detection equipment
When detecting leaks, there’s no room for guesswork. You need visible, reproducible, and verifiable evidence.
The FS200 Smoke Generator provides exactly that — a dense, stable, and continuous white smoke that instantly reveals airflow paths, infiltration points, and leak locations.
Designed for building diagnostics, HVAC systems, and wastewater networks, the FS200 combines power, precision, and safety, delivering clearer reports, faster interventions, and better-justified repair decisions for your clients and teams.
Why the FS200 smoke generator stands out
Choosing a smoke generator isn’t just about producing smoke — it’s about control, performance, and consistency.
Two features make the FS200 a benchmark tool for professionals.
1. Continuous smoke output and high flow rate
With synchronized fan, heater, and pump control, the FS200 produces dense, uninterrupted smoke for several minutes, even at maximum turbine speed. You can fill a volume or duct quickly (≈ 245 m³/h | 68 L/s) and take the time to analyze smoke behavior to confirm the leak’s origin.
>2. Adjustable power and versatile settings
The turbine and pump are individually and continuously adjustable, allowing precise adaptation to each use case:
- Fine mist for micro-leak detection in carpentry or joinery.
- Dense jet for pressurizing air ducts or tracing roof infiltration paths.
Fluid consumption remains low (≈ 30 ml/min continuous, 100 ml/min max.), optimizing the cost per inspection while maintaining full visibility.
Key applications of the FS200 smoke generator
Building envelope testing
- Windows, vapor barriers, façades: Detect unwanted air leaks, trace odor migration, and verify air tightness after repairs.
- Chimneys and ducts: Check draft and backflow conditions — smoke visualization makes pressure differences and reverse flow instantly visible.
HVAC / Air handling units / Duct jetworks
- Ducts, plenums, dampers, and boxes: Follow smoke trails to pinpoint leaks along seams and joints.
- Balancing and commissioning: Visualize airflow direction, velocity distribution, recirculation zones, and short-circuits.
Flat roofs & infiltration detection
- Roof membrane testing: Inject smoke beneath the waterproofing layer (requires safety equipment and protocol). Smoke will emerge at weak points — such as joints, penetrations, or parapet connections. For gravel-covered roofs, the folding tank support ensures perfect stability.
Sanitation & underground networks
- Manholes, connections, vents: Identify faulty junctions and infiltration points. In urban environments, smoke emerging in the wrong place provides clear and actionable evidence of the defect.
Fire safety & training
- Evacuation exercises: Simulate realistic smoke movement to train personnel, while controlling visibility and volume levels.
Step-by-step FS200 operating procedure
- Prepare the area : Secure the zone and explain the procedure to the client — clear communication builds trust.
- Connect the hose : Use the 50 mm → 38 mm adapter depending on your outlet size.
- Preheating (~7 min) : During warm-up, identify your observation points (gaps, joints, roof vents).
- Initial settings: Medium turbine power, low pump flow — allow the smoke to structure inside the space.
- Adjustment: Gradually increase the pump for a visible, readable smoke front without oversaturation.
- Observation: Follow the smoke behavior — upward drift, backflow by depression, seepage along a joint. Record video evidence for reports when possible.
- Verification: Toggle the pump off and on to confirm repeatable patterns — creating verifiable proof.
- End of operation : Purge ducts, ventilate the area, check hot zones, and brief the client.
