As someone that works in a data center, we use an absolute shit ton of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling. 😀

    Nice! Good to know.

    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!
