The liquid or gas used to transfer the heat of nuclear fission to a heat-exchanger in which steam is raised for the electrical turbine-generator. The cool liquid or gas is then returned to the reactor. The coolant for the PWR is highly purified water.

Fluid in the radiator cooling system, including antifreeze and/or other additives.

cutting fluid A special liquid that performs three main functions during machining: It lubricates the cutting action, cools the cutting action, and flushes the chips. Two general types of cutting fluid are available: standard oil and soluble oil.

A liquid solution inside the radiator that lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water (see Antifreeze).

A substance circulated through a nuclear reactor to remove or transfer heat. The most commonly used coolant in the U.S. is water. Other coolants include air, carbon dioxide, and helium.

A substance circulated through a nuclear reactor to remove or transfer heat. Coolants may be water, heavy water, carbon dioxide, helium, sodium, and sodium-potassium alloy.

fluid (gas or liquid) used to extract the heat produced by fission in a nuclear reactor

The fluid which removes heat from a reactor core. The heat is usually transferred in a heat exchanger to provide energy for the turbines.

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"

a mixture of water and anti-freeze, which is a chemical solution, usually ethylene glycol and anticorrosion chemicals

a simple mixture of water and glycerol

The liquid used in the engine cooling system, usually a mixture of water and antifreeze.

Fluid used to remove heat.

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.

The liquid located in the cooling system and engine used to dissipate heat. Engine coolant prevents freeze-up in winter, reduces the engine temperature in the summer, and protects the cooling system from rust and corrosion year round.

A liquid used to cool and lubricate glass while it is being cut or ground with a tool to prevent hot spots or fracturing of the glass.

Liquid designed to remove surplus heat from the engine. Coolant lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point as well as prevents corrosion.

A medium, usually a fluid, which transfers heat from a object.

Fluid, usually a liquid such as water or water/glycol mixture (anti-freeze), used in a cooling system for an engine that picks up heat from the engine and transfers it to the air passing through the radiator.

A fluid phase in a nuclear reactor that, in cooling the reactor core, creates steam to drive turbines to generate electricity

The standard mix of anti-freeze and water used for cooling automobile engines.

is a soup of ingredients that have been specially blended by your coolant supplier. Two of the ingredients are rust inhibitors and anti-emulsion agents. It has been particularly designed to work with pure water at a specific concentration. It is, in fact, a type of oil. In this way your machine has the best of both worlds; the lubricity of oil plus the cooling qualities of water (see oils below). It also contains emulsification agents, among other things. Coolant is also called industrial cutting fluid.

Mixture of water and antifreeze circulated through the engine to carry off heat produced by the engine.

The liquid that is used to cool the part and provide lubrication to the cutting tools during the machining operation. Coolant flow can be operated manually or controlled by the part program.

A traditional name for metalworking fluids used in grinding. Once thought as primarily a means to cool a workpiece to prevent burn, research showed that fluids have other functions such as lubrication, which may be equally or more important than cooling. Hence the preference for the use the terms metalworking fluids to refer to fluids used in grinding processes.

A substance used to cool the reactor and to slow neutrons. In most nuclear power plants, water is used for cooling to keep the reactor from getting too hot and to slow neutrons down so they are more likely to cause uranium-235 to fission. The most common coolants are water and heavy water. See; Light-Water Reactor, Pressurized-Water Reactor, Reactor.

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.

a fluid, usually water, circulated through the core of a nuclear power reactor to remove and transfer heat energy.

Usually misnamed inhibitor. A true coolant may have very little corrosion inhibitors in it, but will raise the boiling point, carry heat away from hot spots and exponentially lower the water temperature, ie:- the hotter the engine runs the better the coolant keeps the temperature down, might lower it 2 deg. at 90 deg. but 6 deg at 120 deg.

Coolant is a water and anti-freeze mixture that takes heat away from the engine (to stop it overheating) and transports it to the air in the radiator.

The liquid or gas used to transfer heat from the reactor core to the steam generators or directly to the turbines.

A liquid used to reduce the heat caused by the friction of a surfacing operation.

Any fluid used in the metalworking process to reduce heat and provide lubricity between the tool and the workpiece.

A mixture of water and antifreeze (ethylene glycol) which lowers the freezing point of the water in the cooling system, prevents rust and corrosion, lubricates the water pump, and picks up heat from the engine, transferring it to the air passing through t

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.

A coolant, or heat transfer fluid, is a fluid which flows through a device in order to prevent its overheating, transferring the heat produced by the device to other devices that utilize or dissipate it. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, is low-cost, and is chemically inert, neither causing nor promoting corrosion of the cooling system. Some applications also require the coolant to be an electrical insulator.
