    - Does the water just cool and evaporate at the facility?

    - Cant the system work like a car's radiator- cool in and hot out and the recirculate?

    - What if this facility was on the ocean front and used salt water to cool like the now decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) in Southern California? Cold water in, cools, hot water out. Texas is on the ocean, so use all that free cold salt water.


    Lol….

    A.) Salt water is corrosive, so no.

    B.) Texas is on the Gulf of Mexico, which is one of the hottest bodies of water in the world. (You know those “hurricane” thingies that pop up from time to time?)

    LOL at the elementary level answers. Let deep dive this...

    A. Yes, salt water is corrosive, but were talking about a cooling system here, right. So under pressure and constantly moving, then its not an issues. You saw my picture of SONGS in my post, right, but you had no idea what I was saying there. That nuclear reactor is cooled by salt water, you dip shit, thats why its on the beach. Also, this IA operation is big money, so they could just swap out the corroded parts and install new ones. Also, since its such big money, they could just de-salt the water prior and use. Again, big money here.

    B. Texas on the Gulf of Mexico/America is a warm body of water, non an issue. The pipes could go deep and suck, just like Lake Mead does. Cold ocean water would cool just fine. As for hurricanes, its all underground pipes and you the facility could be built heavy duty to withstand.

    Your answers were pure elementary.

    The last thing you'd want is salt accumulation on the circuitry, so this would not work.

    Cooling a nuclear reactor is different.

    so DrugRunner says he knows nothing about this, and then when someone says it wouldn't work for X,Y, and Z reasons... DrugRunner says "that's an elementary response"... and that's incorrect...???!!!!

    fuck dude if you know so much, why did you even ask..???!!!

    @druff needs to put him back on his leash for Christ sakes...

    Again Druff, lets dive a little deeper...

    So is the water actually physically touching the circuits?? That doesnt make much sense at all. I have seen the Alien PC desktops PCs that use water as a cooling method and common sense tells me that the water is not physically touching the circuits or computer components, rather cooling.

    Per a Google search, I am correct-

    Alienware uses a liquid cooling system, often called the Cryo-Tech liquid cooling system, in its high-performance Aurora and Area-51 gaming desktops to cool components like the CPU. This system uses a closed-loop liquid cooler with a pump, radiator, and fans to efficiently draw heat away from the CPU and other parts


    And again, de-salt the water, not an issues as the US Navy does it on their subs every day.

    Cooling a nuclear reactor is different.
    Not really, equipment cooling is all the same- its cold water in to cool and hot water out, repeat. Just like a car's radiator.

    so DrugRunner says he knows nothing about this, and then when someone says it wouldn't work for X,Y, and Z reasons... DrugRunner says "that's an elementary response"... and that's incorrect...???!!!!

    fuck dude if you know so much, why did you even ask..???!!!
    Having some intelligence and common sense, this stuff isnt hard to figure out, its basic cooling. Go-Bronco's just wantedto be an ass-clown and guessing response in Post #22 to be disruptive was lame and was easy to dismantle.
