Schneider says hotter coolant can make AI datacenters less thirsty
Environmental ScienceMechanical EngineeringCivil Engineering
THE AI ANGLE
Driving massive power and cooling demands in datacentersSchneider Electric modeled cooling systems for 100-megawatt datacenters. Using liquid cooling at 45 degrees Celsius cut modeled water use in Dallas by at least half. Facility engineers must now evaluate warmer coolant designs alongside regional water availability and power costs.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Engineers must weigh water savings against electrical efficiency while evaluating findings from a firm that owns a liquid-cooling maker.Read the original at theregister.com Generate teaching or study materials
