Heat sinks can be used to temporarily cool the ship by transferring all internally stored heat to thema disposable sink and then ejecting themthe disposable sink from the ship.
 
Heat sinks are most commonly used in connection with [[Silent Running]] or with larger ships dumping excess heat when making multiple hyperspace jumps. With release of the Horizons-Update, heat sink launchers also became important to prevent overheating due to the use of shield cell banks.
