cooling pad

Heat-dispersing platform accessory

A cooling pad is a flat device designed to dissipate heat, typically placed under a laptop computer to prevent overheating.

Fans or heat-conductive materials draw warmth away from the device: My laptop kept shutting down until I got a cooling pad.

The term also applies to gel-filled pads used to cool the body during fever or hot weather.
