Kyle, would something like this be a lot more effective when it is cooling water, like in your air-to-water system? Its kind of a dumb question because I know water is a much more effective heat exchanger so yes it will, but I don't want to make any assumptions about how the temperature of the water running in the system affects your manifold mounted cooler.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether this would be worth the price to develop due to the greater effect it has on an air-to-water system? |
You are correct and we are working on something!
At the end of the day the effectiveness of an air to water intercooler greatly relies on the temperature of the water flowing through it. The cooler you can make that water, the more temperature you will pull out of the air crossing over the heat exchanger.
I never thought about setting up some sort of a temperature probe/trigger system for a sprayer like this...It's very interesting and I'm going to talk with my engineer's about that! Great idea!
