Uhm, that just moves the heat to another place... usually rather closeby. Not really a solution for datacenters (although they are used there, too, sometimes - but just to move the heat slightly further away from components so the main cooling can get to them). I suppose you could build them longer than you usually see them these days, but that would make them quite a lot more expensive.
- tbrownaw 14y agoCouldn't the cold end of one be attached to the hot end of another? I was thinking have a large one next to each rack, where the cold end goes to wherever the condenser for this system would be and the hot end connects to the cold ends of smaller pipes going to each server. I'm assuming that tanks full of presumably patented special-purpose liquid would be rather expensive, and that sealed partially-evacuated piping ought to be somewhat less so.
- skore 14y agoRather than assuming, why don't you check out their website (linked somewhere else in this topic)? As for chaining up heat pipes... not really sure how to respond to that.
- tbrownaw 14y agoBecause I assumed that this would be "call us to negotiate a price", which doesn't exactly help. And looking at the posted links that seems to be correct.
