Current AP categories
Use-case mapping—not a substitute for final engineering review
| Platform | Current category | Use-case signal | Key control |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRF2 | Localized ultrasonic water fog | Small hoods, localized enclosures and short visible-distance work. | Published around 0.26 m³/min and approximately 50 minutes; reconfirm current configuration. |
| CRF3 | Mid-volume ultrasonic water fog | Medium enclosures, cabinets and broader local studies. | Published around 0.89 m³/min and approximately 70 minutes; reconfirm current configuration. |
| CRF6 | Higher-output ultrasonic water fog | Larger or more demanding studies needing dual 80 mm delivery. | 48 piezos, 2.4 m³/min and dual 80 mm outlets; current unit includes a 7-inch HD display. |
| AP30 | Self-pressurized LN₂ fogger | LN₂ pathway where self-pressurized operation fits logistics and protocol. | Do not describe as the AP35 replacement without application review. |
| AP35 | Passive/dewar-style LN₂ fogger | LN₂ pathway where passive/dewar operation fits logistics and protocol. | Active product; distinct from self-pressurized AP30. |
Sizing logic
Match visible performance to the real environment
Published output and visible distance are starting points. Humidity, air velocity, room geometry, lighting, background contrast, hose losses, delivery velocity and camera settings affect what can actually be recorded.
Buy for the study condition. A high-output fogger can overwhelm a small enclosure; a localized fogger can disappear in a large turbulent room.
Commercial controls
Confirm the details that prevent post-order surprises

- Voltage, plug and certification requirements.
- Included warranty and exact extended-warranty duration.
- Consumables, water and LN₂ requirements.
- Training, manuals, IQ/OQ or validation-document expectations.
- Worldwide shipping route, duties, taxes and destination restrictions.
- Service, repair, spare parts and return policy.
Frequently asked questions
Questions this page should settle
Should I choose by room square footage?
Not by square footage alone. Air velocity, height, source placement, required visible distance, fog density, delivery geometry and protocol conditions all matter.
Why not always buy the largest model?
Excess output, weight, setup time, cryogen demand and source momentum can make a larger system less suitable for localized work.
Applied Physics equipment pathway
Turn the airflow question into an equipment specification.
Send the environment, scale, purity constraint, target visibility, delivery geometry, runtime and operating restrictions. Applied Physics can compare current ultrasonic and LN₂ platforms without treating one model as a universal answer.
