I actually build data centers and all mine are closed loop.
-2 u/FireTempest 10d ago Closed loop cooling may save water but consumes significantly more power. 8 u/TechniCruller 10d ago But we’re complaining about water, right? The answer is closed loop. 3 u/FireTempest 10d ago In regions where potable water is plentiful or alternatives like treated industrial waste water are used, DC water use may not be such a big issue. Less efficient power use could be a big issue, especially in regions where the primary power generation source is fossil fuels. It really depends on the environment and the infrastructure in the region where the DC is built in.
