I've been thinking about this for a long time and only found one partial thread on it. It seems to me that an "intercooler style" mister could be very beneficial on the track to help control oil and head temps.
While I had no head temp issues at Willow, my oil temps did rise to the point I pulled off. I was thinking a simple mister introducing water mist in to the fan or directly above the oil cooler could be a trick way to deal with temp spikes. Anybody done this before? -Aaron |

QUOTE(porschecb @ Jun 23 2009, 04:47 PM)  Back in the day of Production Racing ... a gentleman decided if cool fuel was good ... cold fuel would be great. He made a canister with a copper coil in it and filled it with dry ice. He rolled to the grid and when it was time to start for the race, the car wouldn't start. Seems that putting the can near the carbs where the Carbon Dioxide gasses off causes the A/F mixture to be off a bit as far as Oxygen content. He was labeled "The Ice Man" and it stuck for many years. He never did try it again. |

This is what's being used to cool intercoolers in the JDM drag race world. You could easily adapt this for use with an oil cooler.
(IMG:http://www.nipponpower.com/~nippon/prod_imgs/img-1034-1-large.jpg) DEI CryO2 Tank and Installation Kit is the foundation to every CryO2 System. You must have this kit to utilize CryO2 components. The kit includes a 5 or 10 pound CO2 tank, cryogenic solenoid valve, all necessary fittings, 14 ft. stainless steel hose, full wide open switch, arming switch, and wiring kit. Only one kit is needed to operate all the CryO2 components. (IMG:http://www.nipponpower.com/~nippon/prod_imgs/img-1035-1-large.jpg) DEI CryO2 Cryogenic Intercooler Sprayer Bar mounts directly to the front of air-to-air intercoolers or aftercoolers and serves as a way to vent the liquid CO2 directly onto the cooling fins. This enhances the performance of the intercooler by more than 50% eliminating intercooler heat soak. This component must always be the last in the CryO2 system as it vents the liquid CO2 charge to the atmosphere. Can be used for nitrous systems as well. |
