Power and water

DC BLOX's campus design specifies high-efficiency magnetic-bearing air-cooled chillers with thermal storage and provisions for a future liquid-cooling tie-in (operator campus page); the company characterizes the design as effectively waterless. Air-cooled chillers still use minimal water (humidification/occasional evaporative assist); no quantified water-use (MGD) figure has been published, and use could change if the liquid-cooling provision is activated.
