coolant system

Heat management network

A coolant system circulates fluid to regulate temperature in engines, machinery, or electronics.

In vehicles, it moves coolant through the engine block and radiator to prevent overheating: The mechanic flushed the coolant system.

Industrial and computing applications use similar systems to dissipate heat from components that would otherwise fail.
