A lot easier to buy a working coolant system on ebay. You can also
look into buying a misting cooler.

I was thinking along the lines of what I sold a while ago:

Looks nice, and I like the pneumatic for pressure. Would make it a lot
easier to get the pressure and volume you want, but it does nothing for
recovery. In fact by using a pressurized tank you would have to do recovery
as totally separate and non-automated process. I probably won't buy one,
but I may make one now that I have seen that. Maybe set up a recovery
reservoir with a float switch that does an auto shutdown when my recovery
reservoir gets to about 1/2 the capacity of the oiler. Then I'ld never run
out of oil if I walked in the office to get a soda and got distracted.

Mister? I guess you could do it with a venturi style pickup instead of a
pressurize tank, and then just play with your pickup and nozzle size to get
a nice spray.
