Heat Banks are installed to allow for more thermal energy venting. However, where standard heat sinks rely on coolants (which have varied effectiveness in different environments) heat banks do not. They simply collect and expel heat automatically, though only in certain increments. What this means is that, while their effect doesn't get accounted for by a mech's cooling systems, they always vent off their collected heat regardless of environments. This trait makes Heat Banks invaluable in extremely hazardous environments such as Martian or Lunar settings.

Heat Negator (S)

Essentially a complex bank of radiators and vents, the Heat Negator is a computer-aided system for mech heat control developed by the Sanctuary Worlds to cope with the high heat of some of their weapons. Thanks to the power of the Heat Negator combined with the Sanctuary's heat sink systems, Sanctuary mechs rarely suffer heat concerns in combat. Interestingly, unlike similar Inner Sphere systems, the Heat Negator's effects can be stacked together, as long as it is used with Sanctuary heat sink systems.
