Le Maitre Freezefog Pro
Le Maitre Freezefog - Overview
The Freezefog needs a liquid CO2 supply. Either high or low pressure, although better results are obtained with
low pressure.
The Freezefog Pro requires a Le Maitre smoke machine that is Freezefog enabled. This is found in the GGforce3.
Any other machine is not suitable for use.
The smoke machines require Low Smoke fluid. You must ONLY use this as it is designed to bond with the CO2
on a molecular level. CO2 is a colourless, odourless gas. It is only seen when the refraction density is altered.
In the past, water was used with solid CO2, which worked well but tended to leave the area damp and slippery.
The Freezefog works by adding Low Smoke fluid from the smoke machine to the liquid CO2 injected into the
Freezefog. The result is proper Dry Ice Low Smoke. The only difference being there is no dampness associated
with the effect.
The unique partnering of a fog effect with liquid C02 is cost effective and provides a longer lasting effect.
Designed to be utilised with the Freezefog Pro, the Le Maitre Low Smoke Fluid provides a dry, thick, white effect
with a consistent dissipation that eliminates any ambient hazing. The Freezefog couples with the Le Maitre smoke
machine, offering the most advanced controls and fog output available. The Freezefog consumes approximately
3.5 kilos of liquid carbon dioxide per minute of operation at 350 PSI (25bar). At the typical variflow setting of 20
the Gforce3 will consume approximately 4 litres of fluid per hour constant.
The system can be controlled via the standard digital remote control or DMX. The DMX Interface allows the
Freezefog & Gforce3 to be controlled on separate DMX channels. Standard equipment includes 10" ducting sleeve
to facilitate standard ducting in many configurations based on fog distribution requirements.
WARNING
F
Keep this device dry to prevent danger of electric shock.
F
Do not remove the outer case until power has been disconnected from the machine.
F
Use in 3-pin earthed electrical outlets only.
F
Turn off power when not in use.

  • Page 1 Le Maitre Freezefog Pro OPERATOR’S MANUAL Le Maitre Freezefog - Overview The Freezefog needs a liquid CO2 supply. Either high or low pressure, although better results are obtained with low pressure. The Freezefog Pro requires a Le Maitre smoke machine that is Freezefog enabled. This is found in the GGforce3. Any other machine is not suitable for use.
  • Page 2 FREEZEFOG HIGH PRESSURE USING 20LB INVERTED CYLINDERS These instructions are given for systems using a Le Maitre Freezefog enabled smoke machine with Freezefog Control Option. Alternate control options are given further in this manual. 1.) Place the smoke machine output directly against the input of the Freezefog Pro. Technical Tip Proper alignment can be observed by shining a torch into the 10"...
  • Page 3 10.) The Liquid CO2 Tank pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge must read between 300 - 340 psi to operate the Freezefog, this is achieved by opening the pressure builder valve at least one to three hours in advance of use by turning counter clockwise. 11.) Open Liquid valve(s) fully, by turning counter-clockwise 12) When the G300 or other smoke machine is up to operating temperature, activate the 'Smoke' button on the remote control.
  • Page 4 Notes The Liquid CO2 Tank is equipped with a pressure relief valve that is fixed to open at 350 p.s.i.g. The pressure relief valve is in place to ensure the internal Liquid CO2 Tank pressure does not exceed 350 p.s.i.g. As you approach the ideal operating pressure the relief valve may open slightly and release CO2 gas.
  • Page 5 TROUBLESHOOTING RESIDUAL BUILDUP AND WET OUTPUT The following list of items may cause wet output or residue to form. 1.) Low CO2 Pressure (less than 275 p.s.i.g). Check to ensure the Pressure Builder Valve is turned on and the pressure is over 300 p.s.i.g. before use. Monitor the pressure through the cue to see if the pressure does not drop below 275p.s.i.g.
