Noun
coolant (plural coolants)
- 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.
- 1962 October, M. J. Wilson, “Three years of dieselisation at Devons Road depot”, in Modern Railways, page 264:
- Anti-freeze has not been found necessary, even in the most severe conditions, since the water is drained out if a locomotive spends any appreciable time out of service and in normal working conditions the coolant is always warm.
