914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Water misting system to enhance cooling

Posted by: barefoot Sep 8 2019, 05:15 AM

You see these misting systems all over the place in outdoor bars, patio's, now i see pretty cheap 12 volt systems on Amazon.
Seems like a good way to provide short term extra cooling by spraying finely atomized water into the engine cooling fan. Should drop cylinder head temps nicely.
Has anyone ever tried these ???

They are good for very short periods
15 more minutes
More volume is more effective
We found a windshield spray nozzle into the running fan to work best

It’s an old school racing trick

I used this 20 years ago

Not worth the hassle for a street car
