cooling system
Heat removal apparatus
A cooling system removes heat from something to prevent overheating.
In vehicles, the cooling system circulates coolant through the engine and radiator: The mechanic said my cooling system needs flushing.
Buildings use cooling systems for climate control.
Computers have cooling systems—fans, heat sinks, or liquid cooling—to protect processors from heat damage.
