- radiator cap cap on the opening in the top of a radiator through which a coolant liquid can be added
- bwr a nuclear reactor that uses water as a coolant and moderator; the water boils in the reactor core and the steam produced can drive a steam turbine
- liquid metal reactor a nuclear reactor using liquid metal as a coolant
- water-cooled reactor nuclear reactor using water as a coolant
- cooling tower a cooling system used in industry to cool hot water (by partial evaporation) before reusing it as a coolant
- pressurized water reactor a nuclear reactor that uses water as a coolant and moderator; the steam produced can drive a steam turbine
