Hi Long Nguyen

Special smoke candles or a smoke generator were and are still sometimes used to check airflow patterns , leakage in rooms or ducting.
You can easily source them from USA etc by doing Google search. Problem is they cannot be sent on airfreight to HCM, HK etc from overseas now ( safety and security laws).
I heard of Dry Ice being used to generate such 'smoke effect' as alternative - but have not seen such test personally.

Hope it helps.

you can make your smoke machine yourself if you connot obtain any.

All you need is a pump, a heater, nozzle and a blower.

Use a glycerine based solution , pumpe it to the nozzel in the direction of the heating plate , the blower will help the smoke to diffuse in the duct system.

A dense white smoke will be generated , if you can you can color the solution with any volatile colorant and you will get it colored.

Respects and regards
