Not to mention the energy you need to remove 14 MWh of energy from the water in order to condense 22,500 kg of it.

- gus_massa 7y agoThis is usually the more important part and the part most projects hide. 14MWh in 24h is about .5MW = 500,000W. For comparison a Pentium has to dissipate about 100W, so it's like 5000 Pentiums. The Pentium has a big dissipator that is directly under a fan, that has another fan(s) nearby to get more fresh air. And the Pentium runs at ~50°C that is like 30°C(15°F) over the room temperature. I doubt this absorbed gets so hot, so the temperature difference is probably only a tenth of a degree, so the dissipator must be much bigger. (Dissipation is not linear in fluids, so a 1/30 of difference of temperature usually means more than a x30 bigger dissipator.)
