Mist Water Spray sa Intercooler

[rion]

me nakita kong engine na me "intercooler at the back of the engine(in between firewall and the engine). guess what it is using in cooling the intercooler. liquid. with separate reservoir, pump and subradiator.

water-cooled intercooler po yan. ano bang ride yung nakita mo?

That's a water to air intercooler as opposed to a air to air intercooler which requires cool air to pass through the fins of the intercooler to cool the intake pressurized air passing through. I see those used in drag racing with superchargers or turbo, they fill the container with ice and water.

Yup. And when the ice runs out... it's no better than an air-to-air intercooler, though it's supposed to be more efficient, somehow.

The difference with using spray instead of a closed water system, the spray evaporates off of the intercooler, and in the process of evaporating, absorbs much more heat than regular air can.

actually its an engine. no ride yet,

no ice. just a sub-radiator and pump(pareho pang hinahanap).

Correct nozzle mounted inside the intake manifold or anywhere after the air filter.

it's your ride pala. hehe. medyo ot, ano po yang engine model? and may sarili po ba siyang pump for the intake cooling? dapat liquid nitrogen yan kasi water-water cooling siya.

anybody really using this?



parang may lagnat yung engine. hehe...

both evos and subarus have ic sprays. it just cools down the intercooler so air intake temps drop too.
