Tiny Data Centre Heats Public Swimming Pool in Devon

Tiny data centre used to heat public swimming pool

I am turning a washing-machine-sized data centre into a 'digital boiler' to heat the Exmouth Leisure Centre swimming pool. By submerging computers in oil, Deep Green captures waste heat to warm the water, saving the council thousands of pounds while we charge clients for AI computing power. This innovative partnership helps public pools survive soaring energy costs and even refunds electricity expenses, proving that data centre heat can be a valuable resource rather than a problem to discard.

"Data centres have got a huge problem with heat, and a lot of the money that it costs to run a data centre is taken up in getting rid of the heat."
