Heating a community of houses rather than emitting into the air seems like it should be a requirement for building any power hungry industry.
- adrianN 4y agoUsing the water directly is a lot better for your efficiency, because the computers are quite a bit hotter than the air that cools them so you get higher quality heat from there.
- alkonaut 4y agoYes but that requires special gear I assume, that might drive up the cost. Just using cold water for a cheaper heat exchanger (Than some pumped medium) seems like the simple solution if you have unlimited cool water.
