liquid cooling
Waterborne heat removal
Liquid cooling is a method of removing heat from equipment by circulating fluid through channels near heat-generating components.
Most commonly refers to computer systems where water or coolant absorbs heat from processors and dissipates it through radiators, offering more efficient cooling than fans alone: My gaming PC runs liquid cooling to handle the overclocked CPU.
Also used in industrial machinery and high-performance vehicles.
