Needed : people with coolingmist varicool to conduct a test.

this is following on from a post on another forum where 2 differnat people proved beyond doubt that the kit/device does not work.

If you have the kit and would like to take part in the test please do the following:

remove the jet/nozzle and place in to a measuring container.
supply the controller with

10 psi
20 psi
30 psi

measure the delivery at these pressures for 1 minute

You may want to try it on 2 differant tune settings. we used 5 and 10.

You can use any decent footpump or track pump which will hold pressure accuratly.

this is the results from our base test device:

1 gph setting 10

10 psi 50cc
20 psi 50cc
30 psi 50cc

3 gph setting 5
10 psi 140 cc
20 psi 140 cc
30 psi 140 cc

3 gph setting 10
10 psi 140 cc
20 psi 140 cc
30 psi 140 cc

5 gph setting 5
10 psi 250 cc
20 psi 250 cc
30 psi 250 cc

5 gp setting 10
10 psi 250cc
20 psi 250cc
30 psi 250cc


open flow with 150 psi pump 1000cc
all tests were performed over 1 minute

I encourage anyone to run what ever test you want. The guy above had approx 60-65 PSI in his pump pressure at full dutycycle. Anyone can figure out something was wrong. Here are some guidlines for anyone interested.

Why dont you tell everyone what the MIN and MAX settings should be. That makes a major difference as to what the controller puts out. Infact, why not look at our handy dandy chart.

This chart was tested on our controller using the 2 nozzles that come with our vari-cool kits. We took the average of 5 tests and did the following:

1) checkvalve in place after the pump
2) after 150 psi was reached we bypassed the pump. In order for your system to get more range after 150 to 155 psi the switch would need to be bypassed. You should be able to detect clog nozzles for safety if you wish to do that. If you dont want to by pass the switch, your kit should have similar results upto the 150-155 psi range.

3) We used 100% water. using anymix of methanol/water will yield a different result.

4) We used our M5 and our M10 (12 GPH) nozzle.

5) this is used to be a guide, individual results will vary based on many things, but should give you an idea.

Next,

please look at our video we did. this may take 30 minutes to become active. You can duplicate this test.

M5 nozzle in both kits. Vari-Cool Kit on left at 100% dutycycle. Vari-Cool on right at 35% dutycycle.

I dont know how to make it any more clear.
