aircooled
No liquid needed
Aircooled describes engines or machinery that dissipate heat through exposure to air rather than circulating liquid coolant.
Aircooled engines are simpler and lighter, lacking radiators and water pumps: The old Volkswagen Beetle had an aircooled engine.
The term appears in automotive and motorcycle contexts, sometimes written as two words or hyphenated.
