You would also have the issue of ice crystals forming during the evaporation process, the alcohol will evaporate more rapidly than the water so you get a distillation process as the mist moves down stream. An ice crystals that form would have a more agressive errosive effect on the compressor than the liquid water, so that is one issue to avoid.

What if I injected methanol only? -40 wouldn't freeze alcohol right? I find this stuff interesting but I don't understand physics at all. Water has the ability to absorb far more latent heat than alcohol, but alcohol evaporates faster! So which is better in this situation?
