But in my design it needs to operate during all conditions and the conditions down here murder any idea of a full grille block that I come up with, all of my ideas still require opening it up the front for some fresh air.
The water spray idea is one idea which would probably pass the "Australian outback" test, but it wouldn't last for any longer than say 100km into the outback without running out of water.

yikes. at those temps, going with a smaller system sounds like a recipe for problems.
