Noun
/kæˈskeɪd ˈkuːlər/
A cascade cooler is a type of cooling device that utilizes a series of cascading water or liquid flows to enhance the cooling effect, often seen in industrial or large-scale cooling systems. These coolers work by allowing the liquid to flow through a series of channels or trays, promoting evaporation and reducing the temperature of the fluid being cooled. Cascade coolers are less common in everyday vernacular, with usage primarily found in specific technical or industrial contexts.
Frequency of Use: The term is not commonly used in everyday conversation and is more frequently found in written texts, particularly in technical documentation or industrial literature.
Завод установил каскадный охладитель для поддержания оптимальной температуры в производственной зоне.
Engineers recommended using a cascade cooler to improve the efficiency of the cooling system.
Инженеры рекомендовали использовать каскадный охладитель для повышения эффективности системы охлаждения.
After analyzing the temperature data, it was clear that the cascade cooler was functioning effectively.
The term "cascade cooler" does not have widely recognized idiomatic expressions associated with it, as it is a technical term primarily used in specific contexts. However, the word "cascade" appears in other idiomatic expressions. Here are some related examples:

The word "cascade" originates from the late 16th century French word cascade, meaning "a small waterfall," derived from casquer, which means "to fall." The term "cooler" comes from the Old English cōl, which means "cold" or "cool." Combined, "cascade cooler" emphasizes the cooling effect achieved through a cascading action of fluids.
