Anyone happen to know what sort of pressure a conventional domestic aerosol is filled to? (Yes the question is indirectly linked to TVRs!)

Look here:

and I'm not taking the pi**, it explains all.

One question, why is this TVR related?

I trust you, but so far all I can see is lots of waffle and no actual numbers - I'll keep looking. I'm interested because I'm too mean to spend the £360 + on an aquamist system, I'm sure there's a cheaper way to do this!

Try this

PDF doc about 2 pages in. Mentions 50psi, although not read it all so not sure if it applies.

Peter,
Not totally sure on this, however the figures of around 3 bar for the liquid gas propellant type ones and 6 bar for the pressurised water based ones seems to ring something in the back of my head but I can't be certain I'm not talking total cr*p either.
Aquamist? is it an aftershave your after?? or charge air-cooling or that thing that Alfa tried (or was it Volvo?)where the atomised petrol forms a skin around water droplets for better burning? or am I talking cr*p again!!!!!!!!

It is a water mist generator, usually used to boost an intercooler or as a charge cooler.

Aw!! Come on Pete, you're not turbo/supercharging the V8S now as well are you?

Give some of us slower TVR/Midland Speed Competitors a chance to catch up!!

Asked at work today as we have an 'oracle' who's into trivia and reckons that there are two types of pressurised cans available in Europe. One is rated at a test pressure of 12 bar whilst the other is 18 bar. I would assume that working pressures would be about half of that. How you tell them apart I do not know.
What sort of pressures are you looking at? and at what volumes?
Have you considered an old (expended) fire extinguisher body, you must come across this at sprints
Let us know exactly what you are up to and get on. Come to think of it shouldn't it be SHPUB doing this kind of thing, its a bit HEATH Robinson (pun intended)
