No. Anti freeze is mixed with water and goes into the radiator. It protects the cooling system from corrosion and from getting frost damage if it's cold.

Why is antifreeze required to be added to an engines coolant?
Antifreeze helps the engine run cooler in the hot months and prevents the coolant from freezing in cold weather.
Do turbo charged engines run hotter?
not if the cooling system was designed for it or the boost level is low.
How do you winterize a Yamaha LS 2000 boat engine?
You flush it first off with fresh water using the flush points wash off all salt with fresh water in jet and boat, then flush engines with antifreeze you will need to make an adapter for this off a bottle, then run engines until antifreeze comes out do not Rev as there is no pressure! Then stall engine by putting fogging oil into carbs, turn fuel off disconnect batteries, spray engines with wd40 job done
What happens if you put antifreeze in the transmission fluid?
If it is an automatic you'll thin out your transmission fluid and burn up your clutch packs and valve body if driven. If it's manual it can make your transmission run hotter and burn up your gears. You should flush it immediately.
What are symptoms on burnt valve on 1998 ford f150?
Burnt valves will cause power loss. Another symptom will be the engine will run hotter than normal and use more antifreeze.
Do cars run with water?
No, cars use internal combustion engines which require a flammable fuel. There is a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze use as a coolant in the engine.
If you have a internal combustion engine and it was operating at peak horse power if you were to lean the engine out would cylinder temperatures increase or decrease?
Engines always will run hotter the leaner they are.
What does undiluted antifreeze to do an engine?
During the summer your engine would actually run hotter because antifreeze has a lower specific heat than does water. (That means a pure antifreeze solution will act as a better insulator than water---less heat will be transferred through the pure antifreeze solution.) Even during the winter, a 100 percent antifreeze solution isn't a good idea. A pure antifreeze solution actually provides less protection against freezing than does a mix solution.
Can a stuck open thermostat cause an evaporation of antifreeze?
A stuck open thermostat would make your engine run colder than normal. You'll see problems like your heater not working. Liquids can not evaporate to the point of loss in a sealed environment. Being that your coolant would run hotter under normal circumstances, this is unlikely.
Is antifreeze needed in warm climates?
Yes. Your engine will run at a much hotter degree than outside air (up to 196 degrees F ) so you always need coolant to help cool the engine.
Do you need engine coolant all the time in a Chevy 95 1500 and where COLD OR HOT?
Vehicle manufacturers recommend a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze/water in the cooling system all year round. The antifreeze helps the engine run cooler in hotter weather and prevents freezing in colder weather.
Coolant rotary engine?
please be more specific, but in short - coolant system and coolant used is the same as any other car. rotary's do run hotter than piston engines on generally speaking.
