uncooled
Not yet chilled
Uncooled describes something that has not been cooled or lacks a cooling system.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—uncooled infrared sensors operate without cryogenic cooling, making them smaller and cheaper than cooled alternatives.
More generally, an uncooled engine or uncooled drink simply hasn't had heat removed from it.
