- Definition fluid which flows through a vehicle's cooling system, transferring the heat produced by the vehicle's engine to the radiator to dissipate the heat and maintain a constant engine temperature Reference "COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia > coolant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant [24.9.2012]"
- Comment An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, and chemically inert, neither causing nor promoting corrosion of the cooling system. While the term coolant is commonly used in automotive, residential and commercial temperature-control applications, in industrial processing, heat transfer fluid is one technical term more often used, in high temperature as well as low temperature manufacturing applications.
