That's why I suggested the idea of siting your data-centre alongside the
river. How it will work is that conventional air-conditioning units will
cool the air in the data-centre then the waste heat will be transferred
to the water. Cool water will be pumped over the aircon heat-exchangers
then the heated water will be pumped back to its source. The water will
not be used to cool the servers themselves.
