SUMMARY:Ending the War on Water
DESCRIPTION:Austin Shelnutt and Tyler Duncan (Strategic Thermal Labs)\n\nL
 arge data centers around the world consume significant amounts of natural 
 resources, with water receiving significant attention recently due to envi
 ronmental concerns over consumption rates. It is no secret that data cente
 rs consume incredible amounts of water, primarily using evaporative coolin
 g towers to reject heat from servers. However, on average, every watt of h
 eat that is dissipated by evaporated water requires 20x less electricity t
 han dissipating that same amount of heat using an axial fan and a dry cool
 er. Is the war on water consumption justified? What is the alternative to 
 evaporating water in cooling towers? In this session, we will dive deeper 
 into the physics of water evaporation, and why it is evaporated in such hi
 gh quantities today and why it is the singular most environmentally friend
 ly element of modern data center operation.\n\nTag: Facilities, Sustainabi
