Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems for heat source, e.g., data center, cooling and aquaculture. In certain aspects, the systems include a heat source, e.g., data center, having a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water and an aquaculture center co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center, and configured to receive the warm water. Aspects of the invention also include methods for cooling a heat source, e.g., data center, using a water cooling subsystem and cultivating aquatic organisms with an aquaculture center that is co-located with the heat source, e.g., data center.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- (a) a heat source comprising a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water;
- and
- (b) an aquaculture center co-located with heat source and comprising a water temperature control subsystem configured to receive the output warm water.
A method of cooling a heat source, the method comprising:
- (a) cooling the heat source with a water cooling subsystem comprising a cool water intake and a warm water discharge;
- and
- (b) cultivating aquatic organisms with an aquaculture center co-located with the heat source and comprising a water temperature control subsystem comprising a warm water intake for receiving water from the warm water discharge.
