jäähdytyskelpoisia

Jäähdytyskelpoisia is a Finnish adjective phrase meaning suitable for cooling or able to be cooled. It is used to describe substances, materials, or devices that can undergo cooling without unacceptable changes in quality, safety, or performance. The term appears mainly in technical, scientific, or industrial contexts, such as food technology, chemistry, and electronics, where cooling is a defined requirement.

The word is formed from jäähdytys (cooling) and kelpoisuus (fitness, suitability). Grammatically, jäähdytyskelpoisia is the plural partitive form; other forms include jäähdytyskelpoista (singular partitive) and jäähdytyskelpoiset (nominative plural). The exact inflection depends on case and number in the sentence.

Usage notes: the term describes capability rather than action. For example, jäähdytyskelpoisia nesteitä refers to liquids that are suitable for cooling, while jäähdytetty means something has already been cooled. In practice, jäähdytyskelpoisia is often found in specifications, quality control, and safety guidelines to indicate that a component or substance can be cooled as part of a process or storage condition.

See also: jäähdytin (cooling device), jäähdytys (cooling), jäähdytysaine (coolant). Etymologically, the word reflects the concept of suitability for undergoing the cooling process, rather than the act of cooling itself.
