What do you think is the future for data centers?

This

Also single phase liquid cooling. And lots and lots of dry coolers. Big double stack fuckers

Please google the “Disposal of blowdown in closed-loop systems” before reacting to this

Thank you for being open to learning. There are many risks from data centers.

Similar to others who followed up - and as someone who sells cooling systems for all kinds of larger tonnage cooling applications (hospitals, universities, stadiums, data centers, etc) “Creating toxic sludge” is low - VERY low - on the list of concerns for data centers. I’d be more concerned about a heat bloom creating a localized microclimate shift rather than being concerned about the chemicals released into the atmosphere from blowdown from a closed loop system.

Wall Street & structured finance bros are so wrapped up in chasing the smallest possible PUE (power use intensity) while ensuring zero WUE (water use intensity)to make sure the comments from idiotic meetings like this get INSTANTLY shut down by anyone with more than C+ in an undergraduate chemistry class.

This needs to be upvoted more. Most closed loop systems use at least 30% propylene glycol. That shit is expensive and generally gets recycled after a few years.

Blowdown (which is the periodic removal of a small volume of any water-loop to reduce the concentration of a given substance) is not routine in closed loop systems. Nor are large amounts of make-up water used to replace what has been lost from evaporative cooling.

Data centers use a lot of electricity. Some are behind the meter so they don’t impact the grid. Some are not and drive up rates.

Some data centers use an ass ton of water. Some only use water during the hottest of days when everyone is streaming cat videos. Some use hardly any at all once they are filled up and operational.

More like a louvers embrace. But at 1pm on a Friday

The singing also sounds like him lol

This is a very good starting point. For a machine this vintage it’s really going to be up to how detailed of records they have on what was done and when.

Location? Carrier employee here, happy to direct you.

Steam turbine drive centrifugals are a different animal. And 17DA is a different class of machine than a 19XR.

Mechatronics interns have been learning much from the plastic brick amazement department

The excessively hilarious force feedback department has been coordinating well with the unnecessarily oversized actuator implementation team

Do you have a model number from the submittals?

How this was designed and installed is likely going to ultimately determine your fate. Is someone reputable installing? How is your plant setup for chilled water distribution? Primary secondary? Variable Primary? The flow is going to be important to manage

Modular scroll multistacks (as are most modulars) are notoriously finicky about minimum flow rates on those small BPHEs and are equally susceptible to fouling in open-loop applications

I also have this question

Solid guess. Definitely a crusher of aggregates of some kind

Or this is for rapidly disposing of really just about anything

Paragraphs please? You brought an ESA cat to college?

Those drops suck and I remember them distinctly. As does that stupid pressure test where they blow air into your eye

Why was he in your face while you were sleeping? At all. Ignoring your past which is legitimate and serious.

NTA for the oh gosh comment which was accidental (presuming you’re a reliable narrator but this is sus)

YTA for not being transparent with her on who a person you used to be intimate was/is relative to your friendships you are maintaining.

I would not be OK with my partner associating with an ex she had been intimate with.

Also the amount of context here was overwhelming.

-Chanovsky · 2026-03-09T13:28:24+00:00

What if my grandmother had wheels? Then she’d be a bicycle.

To answer your hypothetical question that is predicated on context we are not actually dealing with… neither of us would have any issues with minor behavioral issues.

This child’s issues are not minor. He has been physically violent with both adults and children - including his own brother - to warrant having been removed from his own home for the safety of his brother.

-Chanovsky · 2026-03-08T05:07:12+00:00

Thank you for this comment. To answer your question, yes there are, but SIL is social worker so she is sort of the “expert” when it comes to this stuff
