I've got another new product that I'm putting together for use as an intercooler spray solution. I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Cold Fire, but it is a liquid solution that can be sprayed onto your intercooler/radiator and it will remove the heat from it. This product is pretty revolutionary and it a LOT cheaper than NO2 or CO2. Cold Fire was originally developed as a fire extinguisher. It put out fires by removing heat from the fire equation (fuel + oxygen + heat = fire). It was used to put out the oil fires during the Gulf war and aided in extinguishing of the Canadian BC forest fires earlier this year.
We did some testing earlier this week on some small engines exhaust systems after running them on a dyno. The temperature was around 540 degrees F after running the engine for a few minutes. We sprayed the Cold Fire solution onto the exhaust and it went from 540 degrees F down to 80 degrees F in about 5 seconds. The temperature slowly crept back up after we stopped spraying (due to thermal conduction and hot exhaust gases still in the exhaust), but we were able to touch and remove a fitting on the exhaust with our bare hands.
Rigth now, I am searching for some quality misting nozzles to spray this Cold Fire solution. I can't really test anything up here in Canada right now as the temperatures are hovering in and around the freezing mark. I will post more information as soon as I get it. If anyone has any specific inquiries that I can answer, just send me a quick PM/e-mail.
