How it's used

Focuses primarily on technical or industrial contexts, such as cooling down machinery, engines, or chemical substances. While it can be used for food or drinks, it often sounds slightly more formal or scientific than simply saying 攤凍 or 吹凍. It implies a deliberate process of heat reduction rather than just waiting for something to reach room temperature naturally.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for human emotions or interpersonal relationships, as it does not carry the metaphorical sense of cooling down a temper or a romantic spark. For those situations, use 降溫 instead.
