Schneider Electric has said that modelling suggests liquid-cooled datacentre designs can halve water consumption compared with current approaches, according to a report by The Register.
The claim centres on the use of hotter coolant in liquid-cooling systems, which the company says can make AI datacentres less thirsty. The Register noted that Schneider has a commercial interest in the technology.
No independent verification of the modelling was provided in the available evidence, and the figures have not been confirmed by third parties.
