How to model Dry Cooler with Spray

I want to model a dry cooler with spray in front of the outdoor air inlet to precool the outdoor air as shown below.

If the dry cooler does not have the spray, I think FluidCooler:SingleSpeed or FluidCooler:TwoSpeed is appropriate, but these object do not have a input field for water spray.

It's great if there is a way to change the air condition at the Outdoor Air Inlet Node. We can also apply it to other equipment. This kind of spray is often used in various equipment such as air-cooled chillers and air-cooled VRF outdoor units to improve cooling efficiency.
