Radical Heat Sink System
Sarna News
Description[edit]
Introduced by the Federated Suns in 3122, the Reclaimed Coolant Flush Injector, more commonly known as the Radical Heat Sink System, increases the ability of each heat sink to flush excess heat much like Coolant Pods. Radical Heat Sinks, however, can fail through repeated use, especially if used continuously. MechWarriors are advised to use the system sparingly in cases of emergency as one might for a limited use system such as MASC.[1]

- Coolant Pod: The system that directly inspired the Radical Heat Sink System.[2]
- Emergency Coolant System: A further evolution of the Radical Heat Sink System, designed to last longer by only activating when the Mech's heat levels exceed a certain threshold.[3]
- Heat Sink Override Kit: A system developed concurrently with the Emergency Coolant System as a way of bypassing the engine's built-in safeguards, and thereby keeping the equipped unit in operation longer without shutting down, at the risk of causing damage to the engine.[4]
