New Release : Aerodymatic technology Steam Effects
2022-05-10
Steam effect systems are widely used in entertainment industry. It can create smoke, fog, cloud and even realistic simulated fire to construct a specific sense of atmosphere in live theaters, amusement and theme parks, art exhibits, film set and similar venues.
A conventional steam effect system typically requires continuous supply of steam generated by a steam boiler at around 90 psig pressure and 331 degF temperature, and it relies on the potential energy of high-pressure steam for projection of steam effects. Due to the high pressures and temperatures, the operation and maintenance of the system need to be performed by licensed workers and periodic review of the equipment is required by national designated agency according to the local regulations.
Compared to a conventional steam effect system, ITMation’s patented Aerodymatic™ technology offers the following BENEFITS:
1. Over 75% saving on steam generation and keep warm energy.
2. Steam is generated at an atmospheric pressure (0 psig vs 90 psig) and much lower temperature (212 degF vs 331 degF); hence the steam generators, piping/ducting, and steam containers (if required) are not subjected to ASME BPVC and is much safer to operate and maintain compared to a high-pressure steam system.
3. Very low quantity of condensate being generated during operation that can be drained off directly or returned to the water heater for re-boiling without a sophisticated pumping system.
4. 70% less heat and moisture released to the indoor environment.
5. Better visual effects due to higher opacity steam plumes.
6. Quiet and fast response, with negligible response time delays.
7. Easy and low maintenance cost of the equipment.
Below is a demonstration of the steam effects created by the Aerodymatic™ system:

Uses of Steam: (Here are some suggestions for places to consider the use of steam)
- Live theater, amusement and theme parks, art exhibits, concerts, film set, cruise ships, etc.
- Any indoor venue that plans to use simulated fire instead of real fire due to safety concern.
- Simulate volcanic eruption or support an explosion
- Steam curtains to walk through or pass through in a vehicle
