Water to air intercooler

Interesting. I wonder if anyone would try using acetone or rubbing alcohol instead of water and adding dry ice. That would bring the coolant temperature to -108*F.

Hmm, that might work on my V

Or use a freon based system. Could be interesting to make.

Freon is a bad idea because of the horse power draw of the compressor.  Ha ha good thing r 12 isn't used anymore since when it burned it created mustard gas if you had an inter cooler leak.

Compressores today dont draw a lot of hp.. but i was looking at a more long term kind of intercooler. But it would be really hard to get to work with such rapid heat loads.

It would work but it would need to be an industrial grade refrigerant. Could use ammonia. Find the right material that would work in a low pressure system.  Would be less power draw.
