yes, it probably would get pretty hot, but a large amount of cooling can be taken care of by evaporating the propaine. Just like Co2, propaine is a liquid when pressurized, and it cools down dramaticly when evaporated. I have seen the idea used to help cool propaine powered engines on forklifts.

I still think this could eliminate big air tanks alltogether. I hope they run with this technology all the way!
