Manufacturer: RISC
The Emergency Coolant System developed by the Republic Institute of Strategic Combat is a further advancement of the Radical Heat Sink System. It is intended to last longer by automatically activating whenever the BattleMech exceeds a certain heat level. The system overall worked, but it had a tendency to fail catastrophically, and potentially destroy the engine in the process. Fortunately, it was configured in such a way that it couldn't be activated manually, which helped reduce the negative consequences of overusing the system. VOLATILE!.
