#wasteheat — Public Fediverse posts

@camwilson Do you/we/anyone know whether there are mandatory requirements to make use of the low quality waste heat from them? It may require deliberate choice to co-locate the data centres where waste heat usage can be facilitated.

e.g. pre-heating for adjacent industrial processes, district heating

Tackling the #energy demands of #supercomputers through technology and experience: Satoshi Matsuoka, Director of the @riken Center for Computational Science, and Dieter Kranzlmüller, head of LRZ, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish close cooperation in the field of #energyefficiency Both #supercomputing centers rely on water-based cooling and aim to advance technology for thermal optimization as well as for the recovery and reuse of #wasteheat: https://www.lrz.de/en/news/detail/riken-r-ccs-and-lrz-collaborate

We are introducing a #CO2neutral heating system on the Garching research campus, using #wasteheat from the #supercomputer and #geothermal sources. This is expected to reduce emissions by around 30,000 tons per year: http://go.tum.de/752215

#SabineHossenfelder - I recently learned that #WasteHeat will #Boil the #Oceans in about 400 years...

"All #PowerPlants create #Waste #Heat that contributes to #GlobalWarming. At the moment, the contribution is fairly small, but if #Mankind flourishes it is bound to increase and eventually it will become a problem. The only thing we an do about it is to build an #AirConditioner for the #Planet. #Scientists have come up with some ideas on how to address the problem."
