coolant

listen to the pronunciation of coolant
English - English
A medium, usually fluid, used to draw heat from an object

Coolant is used in car engines and industrial processes, where excess heat could cause machine damage.

Coolant is a somewhat misleading term because they are used synonymously with "cutting fluid" Coolants are used in machining processes that generate a considerable amount of heat, i e milling, turning, drilling, and grinding Cutting fluids are used in processes where the primary concern is the reduction of galling (sticking) between the tool and the workpiece, i e tapping, reaming, and broaching
The mixture of water and anti-freeze that picks up heat from the engine and transfers it to the air passing through the radiator This transfer of heat keeps the engine operating within its optimum temperature rant preventing premature engine wear
The mixture of water and antifreeze that picks up heat from the engine and transfers it to the air passing through the radiator
The liquid inside the radiator and cooling system It is called "coolant" because it helps to cool the engine It circulates through the engine and soaks up heat The coolant then flows to the radiator (See Radiator) where it sheds its heat When the heater is turned on, coolant also flows through the heater core (which acts like a miniature radiator) to heat air entering the passenger compartment A low coolant level can result in overheating, no heat from the heater, and/or serious engine damage The coolant level inside the radiator should be checked periodically to replace any that has been lost The recommended coolant for most vehicles is a mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze (See Antifreeze) Straight water should never be used because it is extremely corrosive, and offers no freezing or boilover protection
The liquid or gas used to transfer the heat of nuclear fission to a heat exchanger in which steam is produced to drive the electrical generator The cooled liquid or gas is then returned to the reactor
A substance circulated through a nuclear reactor to remove or transfer heat The most common coolants are water and heavy water
A substance, often a mixture of Oil and Water, applied at to cutting action to improve cutting properties, extend tool life, improve surface finish , keep the cutting area cool
A fluid used to remove heat
The liquid or gas used to transfer heat from the reactor core to the steam generators or directly to the turbines
liquid or gas used in the core of a nuclear reactor to remove the heat released during the fission process
A liquid used to dissipate heat in the saw band and work piece The term often is used loosely as a synonym for cutting fluid encompassing the concept of lubricating properties as well as cooling effects
{i} means for cooling, cooling agent (usually a liquid)
A liquid solution inside the radiator that lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water It circulates through the engine to absorb excess heat created during combustion Also called antifreeze
a fluid agent (gas or liquid) that produces cooling; especially one used to cool a system by transfering heat away from one part to another; "he added more coolant to the car's radiator"; "the atomic reactor used a gas coolant"; "lathe operators use an emulsion of oil and water as a coolant for the cutting tool
Liquid used to cool the work and tool and to prevent rusting or corrosion; cutting or grinding fluid
A fluid used in the radiator for heat transfer Mixed with water, coolants usually contain rust inhibiting additives and provide antifreeze protection Some new vehicle coolants are designed to last 100,000 miles Please refer to your owner's manual for the proper antifreeze for your vehicle
A fluid circulated through a nuclear reactor to remove or transfer heat Common coolants are water, air, carbon dioxide and liquid saodium
Coolant is a liquid used to keep a machine or engine cool while it is operating. a liquid or gas used to cool something, especially an engine
A solution that raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of the water in the cooling system, prevents rust and corrosion, and lubricates the system components It is often called antifreeze
Fluid cooling agent (099)
a part of the computer that cools the whole computer
cool
coolant recovery system
(Otomotiv) A bottle or tank that acts as a reservoir for liquid expelled from the cooling system through the overflow pipe and then returns the liquid to the system when it cools down. A special radiator pressure cap is also part of the system. Also called a closed cooling system when it's part of the original equipment
coolant system
a cooling system that uses a fluid to transfer heat from one place to another
