Paul, would using a CO2 bottle and spray bar be effective in cooling
the time to climb heat exchangers?

Ray Hellstrom

I never tried that. I assume it works better than a cold water
spray. We have a ten gallon tank and a 100 psi pump for intake water
injection and we planned to also use that for spraying cooling water
on the cross counter flow heat exchanger.


How much CO2 would we need for one minute and how much would  it
weigh? The pressure tank sounds heavy.

Paul, I'm not sure how long it would run as I not up on the
calculations for the delta temperature would be but I see a five
pound capacity bottle weights eight pounds. There are 2.5 pound tanks
but again not knowing the amount needed I couldn't advise on it. CO2
is cheap and safe unless punctured.

Paul,
Summit has a ten pound capacity unit that I'd assume would be way more than needed in this project.
