Misters completed

[buswarrior]

Geez...

I miss boxcar.

Calls it like it is.

Too much @$# scratching, hand holding, uninformed opinionatin' and bed wetting going on.

Random speculation?

He was trying to be polite...

Happy coaching!

Last time I put up something with water misters in it, some shovel humper in AZ called me an A**hole.  So here goes nothing.  My desert cooling is hooked straight to the water tank with 1/4" PVC that runs to a small Shure-flo pump with an inline fuse and its own dedicated circuit. 

The pipe has holes drilled in it to shoot water directly onto the radiator. 

That is it.  Simple.  Uncomplicated.  This NOT Rocket Science.  All of this discussion here, seems to be over-engineered and for the most part ...  Random Speculation (just like the thread on Louvers). 

It doesn't take huge amounts of water to remedy the situation.  A short duration hit will do the job.  Hit it for about fifteen seconds and then turn it off, nature will do the rest, the system as is doesn't take oceans of water to make it all work. 

The best piece of advice is to put a spring loaded toggle on it, so you do not forget they are on (because at some point you will).  When this happens, you will find yourself on the narrow shoulder of #95 South, bailing water out of the Ice Chest with a coffee can and throwing it on the fins, in order to get your dumb ____ up the hill. 

BTDT got the T-Shirt.

That makes more sense than anything else to keep heat out of the coolant.   Is the intercooler on the right or left side  -  which is easier to plumb?   I have another radiator door on the right side that I was thinking of using for a possible second radiator (a LOT of work), but I would prefer putting an IC there instead.   It's better to not add heat into the coolant in the first place instead of trying to take it out later, yes?   Can you use an IC with electric fans?   Any pictures of an IC on a 6V92 or 8V92?   Tell us more!

Just like the thread on Louvers? Do you use Delo 100 or 10W50 Shamsaville oil Company, oil to lube the Louvers and if so do you want them horizontal or corner to corner. Do yours have the darsomvega bullistic vent opulators or pulltrain versa station regulator orindas? Thanks in advance.

I will try and keep this brief and not use capital lettering in the fonts.  Have not been around much here lately.  It seems I've ruffled some feathers in the past.  Some big, fat, whiny, bitchy, cry-baby feathers.  But when you stop and consider the collective intelligence of the average bus board reader, ruffling feathers, just isn?t all that hard to do these days.  So in answer to your very technical well directed inquiry?
 
Heat and Dirt are major killers of these monsters we drive, and if I can find a way (scientific or otherwise) to combat these issues, I am going to do it.  Mark me down on the side that says ?Louvers work.  I have many of them, one guy at a bus meet said to me "I take it that you are into metal working and sheet metal" which I thought was kind of cool.
 

I can say a "misters will work, but a hole does just as well" be your own judge of that.  That statement comes directly from the "candy is dandy, but liquor won't rot your teeth files" and is not well documented anywhere on the planet that I know of.

      Yeah, me too.  Keep 'em coming, Oke -- you're smart and practical, that's valuable; this is a hobby/life style that requires both.

Thanks I appreciate it.  They say invention is the mother of necessity, so I try and find an inexpensive solution to the problem at hand and not dip into the operating funds if possible.  Often a great many things will work and they are not all that technical in nature.

North Carolina is a great place to visit, nice little run over there from Oklahoma, don't do it often, but we always enjoy it when we are there.
