coolant is a substance,
typically liquid, that is used to
reduce or
regulate the
temperature of a system. An

combustion engines are
often cooled by
circulating a
liquid called engine coolant through the
engine block and
cylinder head
where it is heated, then through...

antifreezes also
increase the
boiling point of the liquid,
allowing higher coolant temperature. However, all
common antifreeze additives also have
lower heat...

primary coolant (water) is
pumped under high

- A
coolant pump is a type of pump used to
recirculate a

Waterless coolant is a glycol-based
liquid substance that does not
contain water. Its
boiling point of 191 °C (375 °F) is
