One might let off steam (8)

I believe the answer is:

radiator

(Other definitions for radiator that I've seen before include "It spreads heat around room or cools engine" , "House-warmer; engine-cooler" , "Warmer - cooler" , "Heater -- or cooler!" , "Room warmer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
