Rosco Chiller Module, c/w Controller, 16a Plug
Rosco Chiller Module, c/w Controller, 16a Plug

The Rosco Chiller Module, used with Rosco Stage and Studio Fluid, allows you to produce low-lying fog with variable densities on demand.

The operation of the system is simple. Attach the 1.5 m ducting hose that is included with the Chiller Module to a Hose Adaptor (supplied separately) affixed to the front of a Rosco fog machine. Attach the other end of the hose to the inlet port of the Chiller Module. As the fog output of the machine enters the Chiller Module, it is cooled by the dry ice in the basket.

The density of the emerging fog can be controlled with a fan via a knob on the remote control unit. The fan has a capacity of between 0 and 95 cubic feet per minute, so a wide variety of effects are possible. Using Ducting Hose, you can transport the output of the chiller Module to the location you want. Rosco’s Ducting Hose will slip over the outlet port of the Module.

When dry ice is not available, ordinary ice may be used. The Chiller Module will not leak as the ice melts, but water should be emptied or siphoned off frequently, and should not be allowed to accumulate to a height of more than 6inch.
