EXMOUTH: A leisure centre in Exmouth, southwest England, is using a small data centre to heat its indoor swimming pool, trialling an innovative solution that reduces its energy bills and carbon footprint. An on-site installation captures heat generated by a bank of computers, bringing the 25-metre swimming
Excess heat from computers is captured in a mineral oil then flows into a heat exchanger
Utilities usually account for about a third of the total costs of running the leisure centre and the swimming pool's annual gas bill had more than tripled to nearly £80,000 before they installed the data centre in March, he added. While it's early to judge results over a long period of time, they are seeing"reductions in our gas consumption already" and"significant savings" even with energy costs coming down in recent months.
Gilpin said they are"proud" to have been the first site to deploy Deep Green's technology and are now looking into installing it at the other swimming pools that they run.Bjornsgaard said they have seen"demand go through the roof", with thousands of potential sites across Europe wanting to deploy their technology, especially swimming pools and district heating systems.
