  If your server room generates steam you may have a bit of overheating issue.

  Hot water is possible, but you’d need crazy insulated pipes and/or close buildings to heat before the water cools down too much.

    With this scale you probably can’t get that much or go too far. You’re probably looking at partially heating a nearby office building or large apartment. I’d like to know for sure.

    You could use the warm water to cool down some other factory that could turn it to steam.
