English term or phrase: cross-cooling
When the coolant moves through the crankcase and into the two cylinder heads, two thirds of the coolant volume is guided to the outside and one third to the inside of the cylinder heads. This principle helps to provide even cooling, and is known as cross-cooling.

refroidissement equilibre (accent)


Explanation:
In a cross cooled engine (say a "V" configuration) the coolant is bifurcated to the outside (2/3) and the inside (1/3) this allows engine components which ordinarily do not touch (cylinder heads) to share temperatures, and ensures that intake and exhaust components operate within the equal temperature ranges.
"Refroidissement equilibre".
