Abstract
Underwater systems for data center cooling and water desalination are provided. Aspects of the systems include a data center subunit and a desalination subunit that are co-located with each other at an underwater location, where the desalination subunit is configured to receive warm water output from the data center. Aspects of the invention also include methods for cooling a data center and desalinating water using underwater systems as described herein.
Claims13
A method of cooling a data center and desalinating water, the method comprising:
- (a) cooling a data center with a water cooling subsystem comprising a cool water intake and a warm water discharge;
- and
- (b) desalinating warm water received from the warm water discharge at a water desalination subunit to produce desalinated water;
- wherein the data center and water desalination subunit are co-located with each other at an underwater location from which the water cooling subsystem is configured to receive cool water.
