In 2005 Colt and the Building Research Establishment (BRE) carried out a series of full-scale hot smoke tests (0.5 MB PDF), not only to demonstrate how well impulse systems can control the flow of smoke in a car park, but also to confirm the effectiveness of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling approach used by Colt. These tests included setting up a 35m x 30m x 3m test rig and setting light to a car shell containing a tray of diesel fuel to create a 1 MW fire size.
