Morphology
The meaning 'a system that uses a fluid to absorb and transfer heat' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'coolant' (a substance that absorbs and transfers heat) with 'system' (a collection of interacting components). This noun–noun compound follows a standard, cross-linguistic compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Coolant system names the parts that use a liquid to carry heat away: coolant is the liquid that takes heat and system is the group of parts around the engine. Imagine warm liquid running through tubes into a radiator, taking heat away so the engine does not 'get too hot'.
