Message: <blockquote data-quote="Obi-Wan" data-source="post: 465282" data-attributes="member: 709">[MEDIA=youtube]XoQij9q8WwI[/MEDIA]Applied Digital's planned AI data center near Harwood, North Dakota, will use an advanced, closed-loop cooling system. This system is specifically designed to cool the facility's high-performance computers efficiently while using minimal water. Key details about the cooling system:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Closed-loop water-glycol system: The cooling system will not use water from the local municipal supply. Instead, it will use a self-contained, water-glycol mix that is circulated in a closed loop, meaning the fluid is reused.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Low water usage: Due to the closed-loop design, the facility will consume very little water. Estimates suggest the total water usage for both data center buildings will be comparable to that of one or two single-family homes, used only for sinks, toilets, and equipment cleaning.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Refrigerant-based cooling: An executive from Cass County Electric Cooperative specified that the system is a closed-loop refrigerant system.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sustainable design: Applied Digital states that the cooling technology is waterless and uses direct liquid cooling to minimize energy and water consumption.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Uses cold climate: In addition to the closed-loop system, the cold North Dakota climate will be used to help cool the computers, further reducing the energy demands of the cooling system.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minimal noise: The computer equipment is housed inside sealed, precast concrete buildings, which contain most of the noise. The fans run less frequently in cold weather, minimizing their noise output when it would be most noticeable. </li> </ul>This cooling infrastructure is similar to the "Polaris Forge" liquid-cooled design used by Applied Digital at its other facilities, such as the one in Ellendale, North Dakota.</blockquote>
