Episode notes
Hot Water Cooling
- Nexalus uses hot water for liquid cooling, which is more efficient than air.
- This also produces usable waste heat for other industries.
Microjet Cooling
- Nexalus's direct-to-liquid cooling pumps liquid through microjets.
- These target the hottest chip spots, allowing lower pressure operation.
Resource Savings
- Nexalus's system saves on real estate and construction costs by allowing denser server packing.
- It also potentially reduces water usage compared to air conditioning.
