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 a radiotor used for in a car?

The radiator is used to cool down the coolant (water plus antifreeze etc) which in turn is used to circulate the engine and prevent it overheating.


Why is water put in a radiator?

Water is put in a radiator because it is used to transfer heat from the engine to the outside environment through the process of convection. The water absorbs heat from the engine and then circulates through the radiator to release it, helping to cool the engine and prevent it from overheating.

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 cooling fin do on a motorbike?

cooling fins are used to cool down the engine by having the cool air pass through the fins which gets transferred down to the engine, so on a motorbike like all other engine's the cooling fins cool down the engine.


What is the difference between an intercooler and a radiator?

a radiator is used to cool down the engine using a liquid, whereas an intercooler is used to cool the air going to the engine or cooling the air comming from a turbo. What that does is that there will be more air particles in a defined volume of space if the air is cold, compared to hot air in the same volume of space. This is due to air contracting in cold temperatures. The result is more air going to the engine and therefore more generating more power.

Should salt water be cleaned out from a Mercury 4 stroke outboard motor?

It's always important to flush your motor with fresh water after operating in salt water. The salt deposits from the salt water used to cool the engine eventually builds up in the cooling system and could clog or restrict the flow of cooling water causing the engine to overheat.

How do water and oil mix in a water cooled engine?

They do not mix, the oil and water circulate in separate closed systems within the engine block. The water is pumped through the radiator, then through special channels in the engine in order to cool it by means of heat transfer. The the oil is pumped from the oil pan to the head, pistons, crank, and other essential engine components. If the water and oil in your engine do happen to mix it's typically a problem due to a blown head gasket, or cracked or warped cylinder head. Failure to repair this condition can result in engine failure.


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.
