look for the outdoor mister nozzles. I think they were in the plumbing or garden section.
The Lowes in Phoenix had em. The nozzles were like 2 bucks each.

That's right. Water absorbs and dissipates heat ten times faster than air. Obviously a waste of time!

Have you ever tried it either? No, you read an article.

I'm sure its efficiency depends on the situation it's being used in and it's not as cut-n-dry as "it just doesn't work".

Interesting, but I call BS, He used 1 misting bottle, with one nozzle, enough water to do ----, if you had lets say 6 nozzles, high output pressure from the pump and was misting your intercooler that way, i'm sure it would make more than a 4.7% drop in temperature.

And if I'm wrong then there is always water injection
