We still have the $1,000,000 Computer, a cluster of over a petabyte of NVMe storage that can run at speeds in excess of 100GB/s! The problem is, it draws a RIDICULOUS amount of power, and subsequently generates a RIDICULOUS amount of heat… so much that its overwhelming the AC in our server room. Today we fix that… at least we hope.

I think 95 is ideal for servers assuming it stays at the temperature all the time.

Hello, Facilities Manager on a Data Center here. Ideal temperatures, are 21 for intake and no more than 34 on the hot aisle. calculate your warehouse temperatures knowing the desired temperature for your hot aisle. Aim for a hot air temperature and calculate your temperatures from there. Also, Kingspan is way better than any other plywood/GIB/fiberglass solution -money wise- for temperature isolation, is fast and cheap to build with if you measure twice and cut once, and you can replace walls with it (not structurally, but aesthetically) For sound, they are a little bouncy, but you can always use what Generators use for baffling: sound proof walls (made of fiberglass foam with a frame) parallel to the walls and parallel to the noise source kind of like

The oven-like temperatures Linu$ is running his 'Oven Room' at are basically asking for drive failure LOL Al the temperature recommendations for computer stuff are lies to pretend they are more durable than they really are. The cooler everything is the better. What happens from heat is the boards start dying, like the capacitors & whatever drifting away from their intended ratings & things get scrambled & lost. Also, any drive over 5400 RPM is a $cam, designed 2 fry itself to death. They are not actually faster in throughput because that's more due to aerial density than RPM. Stick to 5400 RPM, & not the CRIMINAL FRAUD fake 'RPM class' lie like WD does, & everything from $eagate is absolute krap, designed 2 die, so your choices R pretty limited =)) Basically, most 'modern' drives R 'auto-suidice junk'. Also the whole 'shingled' thing = seems more like they R using gigantic 'native cluster size' 2 gain space by reducing 'slack' in the 'file system', rather than some kind of literal 'overlapping'. The 'security risk' is similar 2 if U have an 'advanced format' drive with the clusters not aligned, because that 4K or whatever might spread across multiple 'address spaces' on the drive itself, & then U get 'silent corruption' with 'bad shutdowns' or whatever.
Did you also get goosebumps when the inrow inlet temperature raised ? it´s so weird to see someone happy to see the temperature raising!
comma ai has like 50c on hot and found no bad effects strangely. they dont run storage though

Or just use the thickness vacuum isolation panels.
LTT is the embodiment of we never have time to do it right the first time but we always have time to re-do it.
you get multiple vids that way.
Sounds to me more like the skimping on details the first time will eventually lead to "fixing this is urgent so we'll have to". There's having time, and there's making time.
@@zJoriz ya but all that time is potential billable video time.
@@toddblankenship7164 Fair enough
Hey, in cases like this, the "quick and dirty, we'll fix it later" approach can make a lot of sense: they are definitely using the version from this video as a mere prototype to work out any kinks and come up with improvements for the professionally-installed version. They already expressed plans to have plumbers later and do this right and discussed some future improvements, and what looked like a single afternoon of work by a handful of guys was enough to prove the concept. On the other hand, imagine going through all the work and expense to get this installed professionally, only to find out that it doesn't work because they overlooked some major detail when designing it and need to hire them back to fix it like they almost did with the filter? What if some safety shutoff was installed in these radiator units that prevented them from being used to expel hotter air than they intake, considering how they were intended to be used? A quick and dirty proof-of-concept prototype can help prevent much worse wastes down the road.
That being said, while I see this particular case as justified, Linus is far from off the hook for things that should have been done right the first time. Some of his past data management practices were pretty sketchy for such a technically focused company. Even on this project, while the prototype nature of this iteration is fine in my eyes, they were a bit careless with the water versus electrical panel.
As a professional contractor, NEVER trust what you get from the "professionals" at the store, always check it, I get the wrong fittings every third order.
No matter what, never trust anyone... These days almost nobody has any respect for his job anymore... And due to the broken education and the missing selection because "You can do whatever you want, no matter your qualifications" most people couldn't do their job correctly even if they wanted...

As a former datacenter tech Linus is so right about how exhausting it is being behind the server output. The sensory inputs from the sound, air movement, and heat and it’s a dry heat at that. It dries you out and makes you feel terrible quickly.
linus was making a pun... because it's the server exhaust
@@oscarpeters5309 A pun is punnier when it relates to the reality of what one is trying to actually express.
Don't stand there then
very true but those cold isle in the summer are so nice and so close :)
So, it's the same as living in Southern Arizona, got it.
Industrial A/C guy here, Referring to Jake in the beginning A closed loop chilled water system does not lose water over time, or evaporate out. That is why it is a closed loop, they add water and chemicals one time and that's it.Unless the system is drained for repair, or leaks water never needs to be added again.
Normally you have a closed chilled water loop, and your Chillers will have an open condenser loop, that cools the Machines, and the heat you brought in from the building. This loop does lose water through evaporation in your cooling towers. The condenser side IS hooked up to city water with a check valve, The water is monitored and topped up with chemicals on a regular basis to prevent corrosion, inhibit bacteria etc.
Also side note if LMG actually sees this comment, that is indeed a condensate overflow switch Linus was pointing at in the beginning. Those drain pans are pretty rusty, and may be leaking- which could be a reason these coolers were scrapped. If these are ever used for their intended purpose the pans can be easily repaired by pouring in a kit called PanSeal which self levels, coats and seals the pans.
Edit, Im watching this video and cringing again. Between Linus' house and this, you guys are helpless when it comes to plumbing / electrical. Get Jake some plumbing classes, or Hire someone with some Trades knowledge to help with things like this, you spent WAAY to much money on fittings silicone etc. This is such a simple project that could have been done in a few hours. (Just constructive criticism not trying to be rude)
They are probably also trying to do it the "fun way".
Like LTT always has a level of jank (highest when Alex and Linus donsome watercooling project or the likes).
Though yea, getting some professional knowledge would be good, just so that mistakes and potential catastrophic mistakes don't happen.
Unscheduled, uncontrolled, rapid disassembly is not fun.
Agreed. As an electrician, it’s painful to watch some of the things these guys do with wiring as well. It seems like they’ve been fairly lucky in that department so far..
…but electricity is an opportunistic son of a b*tch, and one of these days it’s gonna reach and grab someone. I just hope it doesn’t end up being serious.
@@moderndiscourse yeah these guys do electrical jank to a new level
what they should be doing when they play with 240v is simply to buy the equivalent of nema l5-30 connectors for 240v devices, those are intended to have 240v at up to 30A rated(though I am sure the surge of the connector can take the full 50A you might see on american style electric ranges)
the jank extension lead that is fed by the shop machine plug is really stupid, because there are many devices that can't take 240v, and the universal ones that do are no justification for non-standard plugs
240v is fucking SCARY, the whole reason I don't scream at EU type plugs is that they do actually design a way to prevent ANY contact with live circuits to ground, through you
I have heard many a horror story with just a worn 240v lead in the USA, but I have heard many a tale of 120v not killing a healthy person, even with hand-to-hand shocks(including me)
I do not advocate even touching live >30v circuits with bare hands(at least use a rubberized glove on your non-dominant hand for insulation) but if you are gonna do jank, don't fucking dare with 240v+, especially when dealing with water-cooling too(the additives in water-cooling can increase shock risk if it leaks)

A friendly local plumber/mechanic designer and long time fan here- you are kind of correct by saying that a closed loop hydronic (heating/cooling) system requires a check valve. However, more specifically, it requires a reduced pressure backflow assembly for cross connection control. Furthermore, a hydronic system likely will run at much lower pressure than city water pressure. A pressure reducing valve will need to be installed as well.
Yup, plumbing engineer and I was thinking the same thing. They're definitely opening themselves up to contaminating the potable water supply. Now, I'm guessing that the building itself was built to code and has an RPZ from the city main, but since they're just tapping into a hose bib, they've exposed the entire building's water supply to whatever chemical residue was left inside those cooling racks. It's unlikely that it's *actually* contaminated things because there's probably not much or any backflow with their setup, but an AHJ might shut the building down because of the "contaminated" water supply.
It's one of those things where I feel like LTT is opening itself up to legal trouble by hacking stuff together. They've done enough plumbing on this channel in the past 1-2 years that I feel like they should at least have a consultant.
@@Waggles1123 this setup is going to be replaced by a professional in a few months™ anyway, but you're right in that they should've done better
@@Waggles1123unless I completely missed something…
Aren’t they isolated from the utility supply?
They added water via the tank on the mezzanine which was filled with a toilet valve.
What’s there to mix with the utility water?
As “plumbing engineers” that’s the thing that got you about the video?? None of Jake’s Hackery or scams?
@@Waggles1123 The biggest source of contamination in a heat exchanger system is likely going to be whatever material that makes up the rads and the gunk inside the rads. If the rads are made out of copper core or brass core (which likely has trace amounts of lead lining) that could be hazardous if there's a backflow into the water supply.
"It's 32 degrees in here, it is HOT" - meanwhile Australians: oh, that's a lovely Spring day!
yeah but that air blowing is hot
me when 39 C :
Meanwhile Brits: the earth is on fire
meanwhile indians: oh look, winter's here
And to most Canadians born here 15°C is nearly decent, to me, it's a nice spring day!
One major issue you'll still have is that the two hoses are not well insulated from each other, in a DC setup you'd run the inlet water on the cold isle and outlet on the hot isle side, because now you're reducing the outlet water temperature and increasing the inlet temperature by running the hoses together. For DC modeling that's nearly a 40% efficiency delta.
Here in germany we have premade piping where you have a large outer "pipe" containing two water pipes with insulating material in between, its made for heat pumps, maybe they can pull out the duct tubing and put something like the heat pump tubing in, would fit the use case perfectly
Working construction taught me that oscillating cutters are good for literally everything. They're not the best at anything but they work adequately if slowly at basically every cutting task, so if you're not sure what cutting tool to use, always grab the vibrator.
I love mine, it's a game changer with drywall
Did concrete work for a long time, form to pour. Our circular saw died on us and we had to cut through 2x4's with an oscillating cutter... We figured it would be cheaper than driving back to the shop lmao
@ZippyDooDa435 seriously, show me a better way to cut a *clean* hole for a switch box.
That last sentence sounds like my wife
Not gonna lie, when I first encountered an oscillating cutter, I gave it the nickname "Metronome on super crack." :P

So do I.
Indeed
Don't cross the (cooling) streams.
Switch me on, will ya?
This really made me understand the concept your mentioned in the last cooler video where you say they pump the hot air elsewhere and cool the whole room and deal with the hot air somewhere more ideal. This is definitely super cool (not a pun) and can’t wait to see what you do with the other 4 room coolers.
Server room: _is 100 degrees_
Linus: *WATER COOLING*
As someone who just got a job testing boiler chemistry, you should ABSOLUTLEY get a filter for water entering the reservoir from the main, at the bare minimum. You should also think about regually testing the water, and adding chemicals, to extend the life of the tubes within the systems.
Don't worry, it'll be only temporary for the next three or four years until they realize it's gunked up and not working anymore.
Wouldnt a proper cooling liquid be the better option?
My head is actually like, buzzing after this video was over. I can only imagine how loud it must be in person.
work in a datacenter.... just imaging a high pitch scream 24/7 and you pretty much got it nailed. sound canceling / deadening headphones are a life saver.
Have been for hours in our server room, it is indeed really loud, but you kind of get used to it. You just feel a huge relief after leaving the room.
it baffles me that they are not wearing ear protection
@@simpson6700 it's fine, they'll never hear those frequencies again.
@@mauicez5040 noise canceling headphones don't protect. I hope you're using regular ear protection on top.
I run a small 24 rack data center that uses these exact in row coolers. The valve is to balance pressure if using multiple coolers in a loop.
Really dope video, I love seeing Linus & Jake do serverroom upgrading, especially with potentially janky DIY involved, super hyped for pt 2! Reminded me of the early mythbusters energy when they were trying to figure out how to get a project done, love seeing that
These are my favorite type of LTT videos, when you build crazy, but cool things for computer/servers or home theater
Same
Cool things *wink wink*
I work in Building Automation, so watching this series on cooling and hearing the ideas you're talking about with actuators and temp sensors is essentially my job and it's very cool to see the ideas and knowledge being discussed from the perspective of people who don't work in the Building Automation field. There's a lot of potential with what you're doing and could go well beyond what you have so far. Keep plugging away! Looking forward to seeing how this continues to evolve.
Definitely U don't want 2 put the server room next to the space you want 2 cool so U can just dump the hot air directly into the room = that would B far 2 simple & cheap & E Z 2 do = need mor 'Work Hour$ & Engineering' & gigantic equipment 2 '$huttle' the heat around HAHA
Love the content! Please make sure y'all have some way to monitor humidity and pressure inside that server room. Temperature isn't the only thing to be concerned about. Improper humidity control can cause just as much damage as improper temps. Love everything you guys do keep up the great work!

You need more airflow over the exhause heater rad, to help kick more heat out of the system. Also, you could possibly add a couple of metal radiators... Try throwing some central heating rads around the warehouse to help increase the thermal mass, and dump the heat at more points... Remember your cast iron water cooled system a few years ago? "heating a house with a PC"
Advice for testing leakage for next project involving plumbing:
When you think you are done with the plumbing use an air compressor to fill it with air and spray slightly soapy water on the fittings. If it would leak it will bubble up. This way you can fix leakage without needing to deal with water. Then you can fill the system with water.
they should know this. they have done the same thing for PC water cooling with a little hand pump.
Dealing with water is better content
They 100 % know that but don´t care
Got to be careful not to pressurize it too much, there is a lot of energy in compressed air.
@@JGnLAU8OAWF6 right.
Fun plumping tip: if your using pvc glue and you're not using the primer the glue will fail to properly set. so not buying the double pack can cost you more in the long run causing you to buy more glue when all you had to do was buy the glue and primer, prime both joining ins, glue one side, and put it together. Anyone who tells you to buy only the glue is just wanting to cause you years of frustration. Since this set up is temporary (just a few months if this video is to be believed) i don't see Jake's bad pumping job going to cause a major failure. in fact you can pull everything apart and fix it right later when you do the more permanent set up. Also I'd rust treat that bottom drip/condensation pan so that part don't fail(use like Rust-Oleum brand Rust-Oleum or rust be gone or something like that).
PVC glue primer exits?
@@danielpicassomunoz2752 yes. it's usually a can of purple liquid with purple labeling.
@@Dallen9: As I recall, the primer is literally just a diluted version of the glue. It _should_ be sufficient to just use the regular glue like the primer, and then go back later to use it as proper glue.
@@absalomdraconis it's not, may have been at one point, cause some glues change properties at different Dilutions (like you can use fresh elmer's glue as a substitute for hand soap when you dilute it with water)(can also depend on what it's diluted with also). they've since changed the formulation cause people overthink things and don't understand how anything works anymore or the changed the the wording of the chemicals to make it seem like they're not doing that.
Unless the pipe is greasy or something there's no need to 'prime' it because the glue melts the plastic together like a weld = they become 'one' piece. If yours is coming apart it's because it was dirty & U didn't use enough glue, not 'lack of primer'. Same with paint = 'primer' is just 'cheap flat paint' 2 save cost on the more expensive 'presentation' layer people will actually see =) What U R getting from 'primer glue' is 'cleaning' & a bit more 'penetration' but U don't need that if U use plenty of glue & the piece is not covered in 'grime' keeping the glue from reaching the plastic. & yes I've done lots of PVC plumbing like sprinklers & home stuff & never leaked on me when gluing no matter how long it sits there.

Crazy to see how far you guys have come from the copper pipe water cooling you had way back in the day to these crazy cooling systems you still try to do to this day with such huge production value but the same fun! Absolutely amazing content. I love these ridiculous cooling solution videos
be careful when sticking the rads directly to your racks. We've had a system like this from Rittal and it was worthless - turned out, you need a LOT of airflow and pressure to get them working, and ended up zip tying noctuas to the rads to make them work at all...
I dont really understand what youre talking about
@@BichaelStevens fan make air less hot more quick
@@BichaelStevens They want to take the giant radiators from inside the giant black rectangles you saw in the video and just put the radiator on their orange rack door where the servers are exhausting. They basically want to eliminate a step. The problem as the other poster said is that the air venting out of the servers doesn't have enough pressure to force the air through the radiator on the door to even do anything. The air will just gently hit one side of the radiator and that's it. You need air to go through the radiator fins to make it work. So you end up putting fans on the radiator to force the air. But then you've basically just recreated the point of the giant black rectangle boxes that originally had the radiator but now it's all just way more janky.
@@BichaelStevens I suppose he means that the heat exchange system only works if you have enough airflow caused by either fans on the radiators themselves or a ton of servers literally pushing air into the "hot aisle", creating an area of high pressure on the hot side of the rad and an area of low pressure on the cold side of the rad. The way his comment is worded i suppose he is of the opinion that Linus' system will not work due to lacking fulfillment of the aforementioned criteria

Been in the data center field for 10+ years. It always amuses me when LTT tries to bridge the gap between building your own PC to servers and DC equipment.
2 tips. 1. Don't cheap out on thread tape. 2. Don't over pump your loop, you will end up with high pipe velocities and start blowing through fittings, especially 90's.

As someone who did wasteless heat management for a server closet in a tight building apartment, I'm loving this )
Btw you might want to check I think rockwool isn’t designed to be used in open air because it spreads its fibres everywhere which your not supposed to breath.
Hold your fitting in your left hand, hold the tail of the teflon tape with your left thumb, roll the tape off the roll backwards so you can tension the tape and roll it off the roll, three wraps around the threads. If you absolutely don't want it to leak, throw some "Gimme the Green Stuff" pipe thread sealant on top of that and you'll never have to worry about leaks.
If you do teflon right you don't need that green stuff. And three wraps is too little

Looking good, Jake. Great job on leaning down
In the hangar where I worked we used an oversized muffler to kill exhaust noise from the Electrical systems air exhaust in the aircraft. It worked great without impeding flow.

i work in a big plastic extrusion company and we have pipes under our outdoor storage about 20.000m2 and in the winter time we can remove about 500kw of heat from our production and the cost is really low because it only runs with one pump and nothing else. even with an outside temp of about 15 degrees wwe get a return temperatur less then 20
I work in injection molding company and we use hot water from injection machines to warm the warehouses in the winter, its pretty sick how you can utilize the resources that otherwise would be just wasted.
God I hope there is redundancy in the pumps hahah
17:30 the way linus smiled before the scene cut off
Cause you could miss the intended pun
I always get so inspired to go to the gym watching Linus vids
WooooW ! Linus Crowd , this video is very astoundingl ! you are just amazing heroes of thermodynamics ! my very congratulations to all team for this amazing process well done! you have to be proud about yourselves!
The problem with all these massive powerhouse servers always seems to be that - example in the company I work in - the bottleneck is always the hard encrypted VPN connection for all the remote workers.
If you're working with a lot of data your VPN will be to access the computer that is sitting locally, not to transfer terabytes of video to edit directly from the laptop.
@@TheFPSPower Sorry. I did not quite understand how that helps the case I mentioned. Users are all working remotely.
Edit:
Unless of course you meant that we'd have a “kind of” VMs that users would use instead (high-end machines placed locally where the data is at and have cheaper machines that the users would carry along). That works in some rare cases yes but there is a requirement to have high end machines for the users themselves to use in their remote locations.
@@deejayxcryptI assume you are talking about a remote datacenter? Most local data centers for editing are using compressed proxies for anyone needing to connect remotely. It seemed like thats what they were using these servers for anyways.
@@talonsid I am talking about either data centers (or perhaps some high-end NAS drives) with tens of terabytes of data. The data are physically in some on-premise locations the data owners themselves have and, because any singular user usually requires some 500 GB amounts of new data at some day of the week (perhaps just one singular work project), the bandwidth costs of using actual cloud servers (like Azure or Amazon AWS) makes them not an optional choice.
The few potential users actually working in these on-premises locations of course have excellent work conditions. But then there’s also the many fellas working remotely and using a highly encrypted VPN to access the data. Even if the actual on-premises data locations have 1Gigabyte/1Gigabyte bandwidth access, the VPN might even reduce it to 10MB.
@@talonsid I don’t know if my UA-cam app is bugging out or what so I’ll shortly repost what I said in length earlier (maybe this will be me repeating myself but anyways…).
In our case we have data centers (or high-end NAS drives) in some few locations. Those locations are capable to have 1Gigabyte/1Gigabyte bandwidth access from outside via encrypted access routes. We are able to have decent access routes between the data locations for any sync/backup reasons or just between the few users working from those locations. Then we have the many remote workers that rely on VPN access that is usually something like 10MB.
Linus/Jake videos are always, always, always my favorite. Just the banter and little tiny snippets of something out of context, the editing. It's a perfect story, with lots of engineering.
JAKE! WE SEE YOU! Looking good brother. Keep up that hard work!
When you make cold/hot zones, you need to blank off every empty unit in your rack to make it most effective.
You can buy plastic blanks to click in place where there is no servers mountet.
I used my mining rigs for heating during the winter while living in the arctic. Worked great.
You should throw a small 5-10kw geothermal heat pump in that system.
The brine side run down to the server room and the heating side up to heat the warehouse.
So you can move way more energy without using multiple cooling towers.
Fun video. Love Jake as he has matured. Great foil to LInus.
This series of videos, I love it, I just enjoy this content and it's fun bits
"Mint!"
The valves to choose where to send the heat is a really cool idea. Good thing you've got 6 of the cooling towers!
Hey Guys,.. there is a thing called and "Air Scoop" that is in my boiler system and it's job is to remove air with a air bleeder in it. That pump you used is for boiler systems which gave me the idea. Good Luck! Also, when you put Teflon tape on,.. you twist it up and follow the threads then untwist and lay 3 layers flat ;)
I went through all this just before retiring. Smart valving and dumping waste heat will work for a good chunk of the year but you'll still need a water chiller for a few months a year to be able to transfer heat when it goes over ~25C ambient. That said, you'll achieve much better sensible cooling efficiency with a chiller than with CRAC units due to the chiller's higher output temperatures (in this case the chiller is interposed between the server room and the external radiators)
I did propose that we use the waste heat to warm up the facility swimming pool in winter but that was kyboshed because someone would have to pay for 200 metres of waterline to get to it and nobody would stump up (it would have made the radiator/chiller load a LOT less in summer when the pool can act as a daytime heat soak and night time radiator, with power savings paying for itself pretty quickly)
My server room went from being thermally limited to 18KW of cooling to being certified for up to 80kW (with failover) at roughly half the power consumption of the old CRAC setups at full song - most of the time the only load is pumps and fans....
Doing it right is vastrly cheaper than doing it over. It was a £250k job to fit the appropriate power and cooling systems (which I had asked for in the first place) rather than having pointy haired managers discard my requirements as excessive - resulting in the "new server room" being unable to accomodate all the existing kit scattered around the estate as we couldn't cool it sufficiently followed by 10 years of stand-up screaming matches and regulators demanding we clear out kit from the "old server rooms(*), which needed to be repurposed as ITAR secure storage"
It's insanely difficult to run a 24*7*365 operation with some contracts subject to downtime service penalties(**) when you're changing the cooling and all the power feeds at the same time
(*)those rooms - usually converted closets - ended up being stuffed full of other kit as soon as our backs were turned after we removed the critical stuff, which made the problem even worse. Never allow "temporary" accomodation when closing down an old server room and make sure you disable the cooling, or SOMEONE will manage to sneak stuff in there and make it your problem again
(**) When you explicitly say there is no way to guarantee continual service and people sell it to governmental entities with those guarantees, guess whose head that lands on? If you said the IT staff you'd understand why we go grey prematurely.
UHU MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥 GERMANS WHERE YOU AT????🗣🗣🗣

It`s so funny, that you can get the same one for 7€ over here at ATU
Even better they're using wilo pumps 🎉😂
And orange REHAU pipes😂 also GER

Jake’s lost a bunch of weight, good job man! Let’s Gooooooo
I love Linus and Jake, the chemistry is superb.
Jake did a great job on this one, very enjoyable to watch
Ditch the AC altogether and put a water to water chiller between the two heat echangers and you'll close to double the heat pumping energy efficiency. Then you can put a heat exchanger on the roof for the summer time(especially as they say we could have an even worse heat dome this year) and just use a 3way valve to direct the hot side water outside the warehouse during summer.
Or if you want to continue with the repurposing, get an air to water heatpump to replace the warehouse unit. And fot the Winter you could also put one on the outside.
If you did that you'd be much more constrained with where the heat goes. Much easier to switch a water loop.
@@stevebowen9412 There is no need to not Stick to a Waterloop. You just need to use a Monoblock unit. Those have the whole refrigerant circle in one casing.
@@Felix-st2ue by definition if you're using an air water heat pump the the hot loop will be air . Unless you put the air side in the server room.
@@stevebowen9412 Technically yes. But most modern units offer a cooling Mode for the summer. So they will reverse cycle to cool the water.
As a DIYer with plenty of friends in the trades, I can confirm sharkbites suck ass. I personally prefer pex with either crimps or compression fittings whenever possible. Yeah, the SB have a 25-year warranty, but are you really going to warranty them when they fail. No, you're going to replace it with something else.
To be fair, this is a temporary set up.. But I agree. Could’ve saved a lot of money using crimp or cold expansion fittings. would be much more reliable, and cost a lot less in the long run. Still very entertaining to watch though 🤣.
The opinion varies depending on who you ask. At the end of the day, trying things for yourself is the best course of action, especially when the point is doing some interesting project yourself, rather than paying someone to do it and be responsible for it. Way too many people have strong opinions about things they've only very limited experience with. And with a great risk of sounding disrespectful, I know how opinionated some trades people can be.
Cost of shark bites is at least 10x more then just pex crimp.
2:41 It makes it easier to stand something up for sure when there's a third person lifting the other end for no reason, thanks for your help linus 💀💀💀
love it! Last videos have been great you guys!
Actually Jake and Linus, instead of dumping the heat outside when you don't want it, which would be ideal under most circumstances for most folk, you should instead dump the heat into your hot water boiler(s), and possibly even a huge insulated thermal sink to act as a battery of sorts. When you need more heat, you can pull from it, and when you don't need heat for anything, you dump into it. You could do the same thing with the geothermal cooling idea you have with the parking lot, but instead just make a new thermal sink that is insulated for cold temperatures instead of hot. In that ones case, you are constantly pulling its heat via a separate loop dumping any heat it has into once again the heat battery, while having the original loop pass through it to drop it's water temperatures below ambient. Between the two masses being used to modulate the temperatures accordingly, you should end up with an albeit more expensive system, but also more resilient against the swings in climate, room temps due to people being in the area, etc and so forth. The A/C units will barely need to be operated then, ideally; and if they turn on it will be in a worst case scenario where you really want them on.
Attach this to some in-floor heating/cooling loops, and perhaps some thermoelectrics where is reasonable, and you could basically turn the entire building into one giant heat pump, with ability to throw the peltier's into reverse for the Seebeck effect. It won't be a lot of power generated, but it might be enough to keep the lights on at least via a backup power system charged by that power generation. In an emergency, this could prove handy, having what would basically be off-grid emergency supply of power if the grid suffers a black out. It won't be much power, but if it keeps the lights on, and some cellular phones active, it's good enough, right?
Why don't you tell them to install a Molten Salt Reactor while you're at it?
you're going the wrong way. they are not trying to heat the shop, they are trying to cool the servers. They just want to put the wasted heat to use. Plus, with those servers, there will never be a lack of waste heat. No reason to store heat.
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_AliveWith units that big, I am pretty sure they wil have a separate heating bill in the winter. Why else would they talk about geothermal?
@@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive - heating water require a lot of energy, A loop pre-heating before the water boilers is "free cooling" AND lower electricity bill.
This is an office though, only showers would have hot water.
The several random people standing around and the camera man: "Should we tell Jake he has a white thing in his beard?"
...
Everyone: "Nah. It's funnier this way."
He cut himself shaving that morning.
Jake has a beard? I have seen 12 yr old with better beards.
what is actually funny about that? I didn't even noticed it.
More simply, they use the split air conditioning that they already have and put the condenser inside the warehose.
They can have two air conditioners, In the summer they use the one with the condenser outside, expelling the heat out of the warehouse. in winter the other.
They also have backup when maintenance needs to be done on one.
I always watch your videos from Lima Peru
This is my favorite type of content on LTT
14:36 This whole section was pure comedic gold. Reality, Editing, the whole thing :D
If you move the AC evaporators into your warehouse you'll utilise all the heat from those also. Plus have the added benefit of the efficiency of heat pump technology essentially. She'd be good and toasty 👌🏼
Except you'd have to turn it off during the summer, which would be less than ideal.
@@LtdJorge have them situated at the top of it pointed up ward with a few ceiling exhaust fans for summer. Tur off fans when the heat is required simples. Give me solutions not problems!
As someone in AEC, this is why we have to explicitly tell our clients to not put things on these types of mezzanines, and that if they want storage up there they have to tell us so we can make it so that they don't have a major lawsuit when something comes crashing down. Now something like this *MAY* be fine, but only one way to know for sure.
I think this is the future of heating, shifting heat from where it is not needed, to where it is needed. I keep reading about systems like this online, like heat from London's Underground trains heating student accommodation. Also using heat pumps in between the source of the heat, and the final location to be heated. Can concentrate the heat a bit more, if not enough heat is getting transferred.
That’s a budget pc
😮 Linustech
No Roblox game tips
Yeah, If your budget is $1,000,000.
In row cooling is very neat (cold / heat isles) :)
Worked at a place where we used 6 double wide of these units
I had to replace my outdoor water faucet, but not only was it in a really hard to reach area, but the indoor shutoff valve, and the connection to the pipes was seized, and it was way easier to just cut it all out in sections, and start with a new indoor shutoff, otherwise to use a flame torch in between the rafters and all of the many wires and insulation would have required adding a bunch of flame/heat shielding Making the space even smaller. Then I found the shark bites, and had what I knew could take a whole day, done in ~1/2 hour, and its held now for a few years, and the freaking valve is like new, so didn't crust up, oxidize... Great stuff, well worth the money, because it also comes apart just as easy! They even have little sharks engraved on them.🦈
"Not everyone's a Poser"...
I'm cracking up! He had no clue Linus was doing the T-pose and still managed to get that burn!
I wanted to do this back in the early 2000's, when hot aisle was the big thing and APC were pushing it. Tho I was wanting to feed the excess heat into a water tank to give the whole building 'free' hot water. I thought it'd be a cracking publicity thing too.
Alas, a golf course deal was made for a different idea. :/
I would have suggested that you use anti-freeze, and you should also consider using a vacuum for fill it. The coolant will add some anti corrosion protection.
And you do not need an rPi to control the valves, A pico or esp-32 will work just fine for that.
You mean a Raspberry Pi Pico?
I love every interaction between Jake and Linus. Every video they are in them, i laugh all the time!
On our systems we use fully immersive silicone oil baths for the server motherboards (i.e. usually Tyan AMD EPYC mobos) which is an inert non-conductive coolant. The coolant gets sent to heat exchangers / condensers mounted on external parts of our building. We even dip the 20 Terabyte hard drives in the coolant to keep the drives cool. I think we are at 400 ExaBytes for our Vancouver data centre now so that is getting up there in price!
LTT might want to look at dialectric coolant in a fully immersive coolant bath scenario for all server mobos and drives.
I'm down to take it off your hands, Linus
im downer
How about putting two of these cooling units horizontally on the ceiling of the server room?
Would take advantage of convection and you could literally double your thermal throughput in the server room, without taking up any floor space.
06:36 "It occurs to me we never tested this thing." I CACKLED. That was the most sitcom-esque line I've ever heard Jake say. The stance. The delivery. 😭
This video just flowed perfectly. And that breath montage... wtf lmao. Loved it.
