Hmmm - this data center pushes out a lot of heat. I wonder what it could be used for? How about heating homes!

Data Center in Denmark shows how to turn a cooling problem into a heating solution for thousands of households.

Water from the city’s district heating network is run through the data center’s cooling units, where it is warmed. The water then goes to a nearby plant full of heat pumps, which boosts the temperature before the water goes out to heat homes.

Here is the KEY to making this work. The tech involved is simple.

The hard part is having a pipe network already in the ground and being relatively close to the houses to be heated. https://scienceblog.com/m-a-data-center-in-denmark-gives-away-heat-that-data-centers-often-waste-it-runs-water-from-the-citys-heating-network-through-its-cooling-units-and-into-heat-pumps-that-raise-it-enou/ #DataCenters #DataCenter #Cooling #Heating #Electricity #ElectricGrid #HeatPumps #ElectricPower
