Abstract
The present invention provides additional cooling assistance for automotive heat exchanging systems used for the cooling of liquids or air needed for engine operations. This operating system utilizes a liquid reservoir, an electric pump, a liquid transfer hose housing a directional flow valve, a spray nozzle, a liquid recycling tray mounted below the heat exchanger, a recycling liquid return hose, an electrical timed pulse relay circuit incorporated into a remotely mounted electrical on and off switch assembly, or the system can be automated with the incorporation of an adjustable thermostatic control sensor circuit. Under extreme operating conditions, a vehicle's engine can reach undesirable operating temperatures and when providing a mist of liquid to the frontal area of the heat exchanger, helps to stabilize or drop the engine's operating temperatures.
