Is there some reason data centers can't/don't use a closed loop cooling system?

- jedberg 2y agoIt's expensive to build out and maintain. You also have to deal with leaks. But actually a lot of newer spaces are moving to closed loop because it's the only way to get enough cooling for the GPUs. The newest NVIDA GPUs require it.
- legitster 2y agoYou get much more efficiency out of the system when you lose the water to evaporation. It takes all of the heat with it. I know some data centers are experimenting with closed loops or wastewater systems, but while water is still priced so cheap in the US they are not in a huge rush.
