@speedifylive: Why You Want A Data Center In Your Pool Swimming pools across the UK are closing because they can't afford the heating bills. One startup just solved that with a washing machine-sized data center in a boiler room. A mini data center runs at full speed next to the pool, the waste heat runs through a heat exchanger, and suddenly the pool has free heating. The data center saves money. The pool stays open. Less total power gets wasted. Everyone wins. AI heat. Free pools. One very clever heat exchanger. #datacenter #swimmingpool #gpu #energyefficiency #techtalk
It is largely the electricity that is "consuming" the water. Coal and other sources that evaporate water in exchange for electricity.

See…so why are the American Datacenters consuming so much water?? If it’s a closed loop system?

Ok but can I get one of these

can I heat my house with a data center?

Reminds me of the Bitcoin miner room heater

Linus from LTT did this in his home a couple of years ago

Dumping waste heat into places where people actually want heat is a great idea, but it only works in specific niche cases, usually need for heat is seasonal and no data centre operator wants to run their hardware for only half the year.

whole city blocks get heated by waste heat from industry and datacenters here in the Netherlands.
they use heat exchangers at the industrial site, and pump the water from the clean side of the exchanger through huge isolated pipes underground to our houses.
works like a charm!

I feel like they could turn 150 into 400 easy enough .. whether it's efficient enough not sure. but you also have turbines and Thermo couples that would help too

you dont need to heat the pool, its alright once you get in

For the rest of the World, 150F = 65.5C 👍

Listen they can do this for winter heating but they won’t cuz the energy company is losing money.

To be fair, changing heating to data centers for private use would be actually kinda nice

People haven’t been talking about this stuff. NYC uses central steam heat. They could easily use datacenters to do this in small towns and provide cheap or free heat for all the residents.

Data center is not GPU… maybe a mining center

If the pool gets heated, wouldn’t that just fry the GPU causing them to overheat, because based on what it sounds like it’s just traveling through a tube and back, I don’t really believe that but just a thought

how do they handle the chlorine though?

But the pool will lose water right?

water is a horrible conductor so this wouldn’t cool fast enough
