The water use is because of evaporative cooling right? Releases steam into the air? Couldn’t this be handled with standard refrigeratation, even if its more expensive?
Estimated cost for professional installation is about half or less that of central refrigerated air conditioning.
Estimated cost of operation is 1/8 that of refrigerated air conditioning
Seems to be a lot more expensive, especially in running costs.
Thanks for the info. It’d be nice if we had a functioning government that could regulate and provide incentives to move data centers away from evaporative cooling.
Edit: assumed this was in the US.
It also uses more electricity. I’m more worried about carbon use than water use
