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 |

Apart from the misting being a pretty ineffective way to bring oil temps down, using anything other than clean water would be silly.
And while alcohol will evaporate faster, it also has a lower specific heat than water, and would pull away less temperature than the water. Not to mention the potentially explosive air/fuel mix you've now created with the evaporated alcohol. 'nuff said? Put an actual oil cooler on the car, it'll work better than "misting". Yes, I've tried the water mister route too, it doesn't do much if anything over the long run. Cool something off after an autox run? Sure. Continuous use on track? Too much weight, too little gain. -Josh2 |
