One might consider where the spray bars are installed.  If they are in the high
speed air stream, they are less apt to have time to generate much of a pattern
at all.  If they are located close to the radiator face in a good plenum, they
might mist a lot better.  I've no idea how one might test this stuff.  Tiny TV
camera (like on your computer perhaps?) in the plenum?  It's something I'd have
to actually SEE before I made a lot of judgments (particularly if they didn't
seem as effective as I'd expected).
Just a theory ... Jim S.
