Use propane instead of C02? Just a thought...

How is the first one supposed to work. I dont even have a mild clue how the second one is supposed to work.
propane does get cool when it goes from high pressure to low, and it COULD theoretically be used in an AC system due to its very low boiling point like r134 refrigerant has, BUT its not used for it because if you crash your car that wouldnt be good. Any gas with a low boiling point or vaporization point will work. the reason is when high pressure is applied a gas or liquid heats up. When you quickly drop the pressure it becomes very cold. This is the principle behind air conditioning.
The r134 is pressurized which superheats it, then ran through a condensor which cools off the latent heat, then shot throught a small orifice which causes an abrupt pressure drop and creates sub cooled refrigerant, which takes heat from the air passing through it, therefore cooling the air.
so yeah, propane would work, but its way too explosive to be spraying infront of your car. Stick to proven methods.

second one same thing, but would need fittings
Once you screw it on top of the c02 bottle, what do yo do to make it spray.
There is a guy on SF with a NX intercooler sprayer kit for 300$ i think that was shipped. Just thought you might be interested.
and idea for homade CO2 sprayer.
you could make brackets and have the tank stored up front, next to the coolent overflow bottle, then you could rout the hose to something that would disperse the air around the IC, like one of those round things. hell if you wanted to get fancy, you could use a nitrous remote bottle opener and not leave your car.
