I ran the organisation at Sun Mricrosystems responsible for designing and building innovative, green, data centers. We were about 15-20 years ahead of our time and as a result the market just wasn't ready to accept these ideas. I am so happy to see this sort of thing now get get traction. I really wish I could still be involved. It's something the world deintely needs!

Every fucking thing will have an ecological footprint. Even we'd go back to living like cavemen.

@ThoughtFission Are you knowledgeable about this? Because I'm confused about the 30°C of the water. I thought it would be much more like 50°C considering the temperatures computers can reach. I'm not familiar with data centers, but considering most PC's are running at like 55°C at least, I thought it would be no problem to reach water temperatures of 45 - 50°C. Do the computers in data centers run at lower temperatures? Or does this process have this much heat loss because they are using air cooled computers and a heat exchanger? If it's the second: why aren't they using watercooled computers?

@andrelam9898 16 күн бұрын

Fall through Spring, Paris is anywhere from cool to cold. Winters are cloudy. A green house won't stay in a range that is good for plants growing without external heat. That is where the server farm comes in. Excess heat keeps the green house at the temps needed for these plants. I would venture it cannot drop below 20C / 75F for any long period of time if you want plants to grow. With outside temps being anywhere cool to freezing at least 8 months out of the year, that extra heat really helps.

@MartijnPennings 15 күн бұрын

This whole video smells of so much greenwashing. Putting a few strawberries on top of a data center doesn't make it green. It's good that the excess heat is used, but that doesn't make anything "green". The only way to call "green" is to use less data, so that the data center is not needed.

yes. you are using your pc to entertain/work and to heat your home. you are using it to do 2 things and save energy versus turning on your heater. if you can use a single thing to do multiple things, you are being efficient. and efficiency = green by modern day standards. it's a dumb term (calling things green) but it's catchy and doesn't fully piss off environmentalists.

@coreyhipps7483 17 күн бұрын

It's not necessarily the most energy efficient. Generally speaking a computer is not a particularly efficient heater. That said, it does produce waste heat. If that waste heat is then captured and put to use (i.e. warming your room) then this is net more efficient than blowing all that heat outside and then heating your house without using the waste heat. All that said, if you're not using your computer it probably shouldn't be on.

Super good use of excess heat coming from the datacenters! But let's not forget that power demand from datacenters (even though most is green) is expected to rise to 30% of ALL electricity consumption by 2050! That it is an enormous amount of additional energy that needs to be produced which even when sourced through renewables will have a massive impact on our climate due to the materials needed for energy production. The real solution NEEDS to be energy efficiency measure as well.

A few of us in the PC building community have been using aquariums to cool our CPU & GPU's for over 25 years. It's quite a simple system. Coolant is pumped around a closed system of pipes and reservoirs inside the PC and a radiator, During the coolants transit it flows over hot plates that sink heat away from the hot semi-conductors. The radiator inside the aquarium dumps the heat into the water, viola.

Pretty sure at least some of the datacenters in Stockholm contribute to the district heating. We also have district cooling but that's mostly for datacentera and maybe other large buildings that need lots of cooling. The datacenters at work and the entire building is actually cooled by district cooling. If I recall correctly it works by pumping water underneath the sea and back up it again when it's cooled. I don't think we specifically, export our heat. We have quite a few of smaller datacenters in our building but we are not THAT large scale.

There's an error: 3 new permanent venues were built for the Olympics: Le Bourget Climbing Centre, the Aquatic Centre AND the Adidas Arena at Porte de la Chapelle.

Cool video, no pun intended. When they say these data centres are providing energy to the local 'community' are they giving it away for free or is it just a much needed revenue stream?

I first read "How the Internet is Hating Paris" and was a bit disappointed to find out it was about heating.

@hagemann1 16 күн бұрын

It is worth to remember that the source of the heat is electricity. The electricity has to be generated reliably and stable 24 hours per day.

Using already existing stadiums only works when you hosted big venues before... The rivers still aren't cleaned up though^^ very green.

See this, why can’t we do more of this? Using energy that is otherwise being wasted not only capturing it but using it to grow fruit/veg. Hope more places take note of this, also use some old ideas Re: Wind catching towers / Malqaf.

It's is always better to use the heat but i do wonder if the energy usage of the huge fans that he mentioned. I also had an idea (I'm sure it's been thought of by others lol) of installing huge transparent tubes of algae that are integrated into commercial building walls. Fresh air could be pumped in and the algae could just do is thing, all day, everyday of producing o2

You know what? I'd be happy having a rack of someone's servers in my basement; the owner of it pays for the electrity, I get the heat. In the summer, the heat goes overboard.

Some companies in places have started doing that, there's a Norwegian company that installs radiators in your home filled with processors.

How do you go from 30C to 60C without additional energy 🤔

@bmwhocking 17 күн бұрын

Heat pumps. The heat turns a working fluid (usually CO2 from a low pressure liquid into a high pressure gas, that gas goes through a compressor & the higher pressure gas runs through a expansion coil, releasing the heat energy at a higher temperature Mathematically the overall process and ratios are very similar to a electrical transformer Neither a heat pump or a transformer can create heat or voltage. But they can move heat energy & voltage up and down a scale with a small energy loss. If you are interested, recommend diving into the heat pump rabbit hole on Wikipedia.

You can't. But now calculate how much energy you will need to heat the water from 30 to 60C and from 15 to 60C.

@@ginog5037 If the heat energy is used somewhere instead of blown out into the air, that's a win. Less energy from the general grid or other sources is needed, money is saved. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Ok. But can they use that heat to cool the city. Now there are record breaking hot days, and cool day remains scarce. The problem the Olympic Paris faced now is excess heat. Countries are bring their own air cons to Paris, as France want to save money by installing no air cons.

Great video and good to see this. Many data centres elsewhere, where similar heat export approaches could be beneficial but may be more challenging due to location relative to potential heat end use(rs). Would be interested to know how effective this heat recovery and export is? Is this tracked to aid transparency? Thanks 👍

Heat capture isn't really a new and innovative idea, however the method and thinking (1+1=2) of capture is unique and should cause more ideas to cascade base on human driven consumption of energy causing a byproduct effect. In this case from as small as growing veggies and heating a home to as large as heating millions of homes and in this case, the new aquatic center. Inner city heat capture systems. Ingenious!
