hot rod,
If you are looking into making a product of chilling the charge air, why not use a water/methanol droplet as a media, imagine thousands of water/methanol droplets each with its own surface area, making contact with the charge air within the entire inlet tract rather through laminate-flow cooling via surface conduction.
All you need is an efficient heat exchanger - since the heat transfer is in liquid form (water/CO2-expander), it can be quite small.
I have seen this done sometime ago but never looked too closely into it.
You also have thousands of ready-make customers out there!
