Yeah, well the pressure ratio is not exactly a new concept, is it.
One could argue that misting actally
increases airflow restriction because it changes the viscocity of the fluid :? ...
Someone else could argue that there is a
decrease in restriction because temperatures are not allowed to to grow (with precompressor injection)
Maybe there are more factors affecting airflow and who knows what the overall result is (may it's variable too!)
We really need proper scientific experimentation don't we
Controlled environment, repeatable results, the lot...
