Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!
davad@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI have no idea what the infrastructure setup is like for cooling that data center, but one way of water cooling is to take in cool water and dump the hot water. If you do this in your home, it’s an “open loop geothermal heat pump.” You pull in water from a well, heat or cool the water with your AC heat exchanger, then pump it back into the ground or into the sewer.
