Yes, water cools your engine. A water pump draws water from the radiator and into pores in the engine block, cooling it off. There is a thermostat that lets the hot water out of he engine at a certain temperature so the hot water cools off in the radiator with wind and the cold water goes in the engine.

What is the difference between freon and anitfreeze for a vehicle?
"Freon" is the product name of the refrigerant GASused in air conditioning systems. Freon is compressed and expanded to cool the INSIDE of the vehicle.Antifreeze is a LIQUID that is circulated through the engine to keep the engine from melting down. When an engine is running it generates a lot of heat. If the heat is not dissipated, the engine will fail. Water is used to cool the engine and antifreeze is mixed with the water to prevent freezing in the winter and to prevent rust the rest of the time. The water/antifreeze is pumped through the engine then when the water is hot it is pumped through the radiator where it is cooled and pumped back through the engine.

What does a water pump do on a vehicle?
it circulates the coolant in a loop starting at the pump and continuing through your engine block then to your heater core and finaly to your radiator and back to your water pump. the main purpose being to push cool water from your radiator into the engine where it absorbs excess engine heat and then to get that same hot water back to your radiator where it can cool off again. it also makes a side trip through your heater core which is just a mini radiator that is used to send hot air into the interior of the car when you turn your heat on. if your water pump is bad it will usually leak and when you run out of coolant /water your car will overheat.
When changing oil on a car can you run water through the engine?
Absolutely not!! Unless you want to replace the engine. Water does horrible things to engines and that is the reason water isn't used for engine lubrication and pure water isn't used for cooling the engine in the first place.
