But why have an evaporative cooling system and not use a system similar to internal combustion engines, with a closed circuit system? It would be more economic.
But I wouldn’t want to have to replace the gasket if it broke!
Turns out it isn’t more economic, as you have to substitute the energy that’s carried away by the evaporating water with a commensurate amount of radiators and the extra electric power needed to pump through that cooling loop:
As someone that works in a data center, we use an absolute shit ton of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling. 😀
Nice! Good to know.
