Eliminate heat soak problems with the Coolingmist
Intercooler spray kit.
Unlike water/methanol injection, this kit cools any
cooler via evaporation from the outside. It differs from cryo (i.e.
"freezing gas") spray in that it eliminates heat build up over time
vs. intervening briefly at the last second. This makes it valuable for hard
street, rally, and some drag strip duty.
While under boost, an intercooler functions mostly as a
heatsink. Intake air raises core temperature faster than the core can radiate
it back into the atmosphere. Heat steadily "soaks" the core and
reduces intercooling in the process. After a point, the intercooler stops
cooling the air completely. IATs soar and performance drops. Coolingmist cooler
spray steps up your game with a plumbing package designed for distilled water
(hot summer), windshield washer fluid (all season), or typical 50/50 water/meth
injection brew (cold winter).
Kits come standard with a total of seven spray points for even distribution across the cooler's frontal area. Plumbing may be attached to the inside of a bumper skin, through grill slats, or attached to the bumper rebar with great ease and functional convenience. The further the spray points are from the cooler surface, the better it works.
This display is not suited specifically to a
particular vehicle and is therefore Universal as the system also includes a range of nozzles to allow you to reach optimal results on the
intended platform.
This system also includes a Fluid Level and System
Pressure monitoring unit for the detection and warning of low fluid levels and
system pressure faults.
HOW MUCH CAN AIR TEMP EFFECT PERFORMANCE YOU ASK???
From the table below, you will note that air at 0C contains almost 30% more
oxygen per given volume, than air at 77C.
Air Temperature
Air Density
% increase of oxygen
77C
0.9950 kg/m^3
40C
1.113 kg/m^3
+ 12% oxygen
27C
1.1614 kg/m^3
+ 17% oxygen
0C
1.2763 kg/m^3
+ 28% oxygen
So if your car is tuned for say 12.0:1 fuel mixture (rich)
for maximum power and the air going into your engine is at 77C, you might make
say 241bhp @ wheels. Now if you could get that intake air down to 0C and still
have your engine tuned at 12.0:1 fuel mixture, you will make 30% more power
based simply on oxygen levels in the air = 241bhp @ wheels x 1.3 = 314bhp @
wheels. That’s a massive 73bhp increase!!! Now obviously, unless your using dry
ice somewhere along your intake path, you won’t get the air to 0C, but that is
just to give you an indication of the true effects of air temps and their
relation to power output.
