water jacket
Engine's liquid casing
A water jacket is a casing filled with water that surrounds something to regulate its temperature, typically to prevent overheating.
Internal combustion engines use water jackets around their cylinders, with coolant circulating through to carry heat away: The mechanic found a crack in the engine's water jacket.
Laboratory equipment and industrial machinery use similar designs for heating or cooling.
