Couldn't you get the cooling of the ocean from just pumping water through pipes in the ocean and then onto land? And if nitrogen was a big benefit, couldn't you do that on land too?
Not knocking the experiment, it seems very interesting / worth seeing what happens.
- Bluestein 1y agoI am sure this has got to have been tried before ... (Then again, pumping the water would consume some energy ...)
- more_corn 1y agoYeah Google built a data center in an old paper mill in Norway. They use ocean water to cool the heat exchangers. It’s important not to let the salt water in. Things get a lot more difficult then.
- duxup 1y agoI suspect it is similar underwater ;)
- yencabulator 1y agoNot sure if they built one in Norway too, but you might mean Finland. https://medium.com/@henrihapponen/the-coolest-data-center-in-the-world-e288cb19d921 https://medium.com/@henrihapponen/the-coolest-data-center-in...
