Debate over data centre heat reuse and noise concerns
Original: @ TimWardCam The noise is already an issue and there could not be direct district heating from the low grade emissions u
A discussion is under way about whether waste heat from large facilities could be reused for district heating. One participant argues the emissions are too low-grade for direct heating unless paired with modular combined heat and power systems, citing Paris as a successful example. They suggest it could work as a supplement to ground source heat pumps, while noise from the facilities remains a sticking point.
Why now: People are debating how local objections like noise weigh against the potential of reusing waste heat for community heating.
Evidence
- @ TimWardCam The noise is already an issue and there could not be direct district heating from the low grade emissions unless it was in combination with modular CHP systems (great success in Paris) However, as a top up to ground source heat pumps it might be viable and great PR… · thanetric@mastodonapp.uk · 1
