a mister isn't very comparable to a windsheild squirter.

A mister is better obviously. The article still helps.

Breaks the water into smaller particles that evaporate faster.

Re: water cooling intercoolers

why would you want the water to evaporate faster? more water = more cooling

Re: water cooling intercoolers

ok, i was misunderstood how it works.. i didn't think the evaporation process was the way it was cooled. i thought the water would cool the metal on the i/c down...
