coolants
Engine temperature regulators
Coolants are substances—usually liquids—that absorb and carry away heat from engines, machinery, or industrial processes.
The most familiar is the antifreeze mixture circulating through a car's radiator: Check your coolant level before a long trip.
Water, oils, and specialized chemical compounds all serve as coolants depending on the application and temperature requirements.
