Definition: The term 'amortisseur' comes from French, referring to a type of motor engine designed to dissipate heat through its cylinders. It's similar to an oil cooler but instead of circulating oil, it distributes coolant between components during cooling. In the Bible, this concept is mentioned in Old Testament passages where the Israelites were using ammortisseurs for cooling purposes. The term 'amortisseur' typically refers to a mechanical device used in motor engines and other vehicles to cool down the engine and prevent overheating.
