No they don’t, if you remove evaporative cooling and go to a closed loop system, the coefficient of performance is almost cut in half. The people building data centers will almost invariably choose evaporative cooling because opex is substantially cheaper.
- nomel 1y agoWhy is this downvoted? It's a simple fact of physics that's been fully understood for literal centuries, taught in high school [1]. For a given heat exchanger size, evaporative cooling will always win (well, unless it's raining), with drastically lower thermal resistance.

- quickthrowman 1y agoI assume people get upset when they’re told they are wrong, I don’t take it personally. Thanks for seconding me :)
