    Please be careful with that SATA to Molex cable powering all of the fans. Alex may laugh about being over the rated limit of that cable, but I powered my basement water cooling setup on a long molex cable from my PC upstairs down to my radiator downstairs for 8 years, and after all that time, the molex connection into the PC burnt out. I'm lucky that I caught it before it actually began melting. I calculated it after the fact, and while I was pushing more amps through the cable than it was rated to, my margin was less than the margin you're allowing for here. So seriously, be careful. (I'm only 12:25 in atm so idk if they change it later)

      how long was your cable, since that matters a lot? if it was a few meters then you were in negative margin in reality and needed a parallel line for each wire. This is not AC current, but DC. DC heats wires quite substantially with a cascading effect on temp increase. We would have such problems all around our house installations if had Edison won against Tesla.

      They did not change it. I figured the safety margin was bigger than that, but if you've seen it melt it is probably best to use a different solution.
      Imo the box fan was a good solution if mounted correctly.

    I think if the hot lines/tank in the room are insulated thermally, you would see a massive difference both in the room temp and the system temps, right now you're dumping a massive amount of the heat generated in the rack back into the room without giving it the shot of really being dumped to the second loop going out

      ​​@@sdfsdf2205ya I was definitely surprised to see them run all those pipes without insulation, specially given they moved to the heat exchanger leaving the primary hot loop in the room, I mean what did you expect? All that heat from the hot water sitting there not to get dumped back in the room? All the money spent on this and you don't even do it right. If the hot loop + tank is insulated I bet you the temp difference between the cold loop and hot loop will double and the exchanger will be able to dump way more heat into the cold loop, honestly though the most proper way to do this is to insulate the cold loop as well. Not to mention if they want to heat the pool up they should have insulated the pipe underground between the pool and the room, otherwise all that heat gets dumped to the ground before it even reaches the pool

      Yeah I wonder what sort of percentage of heat is being dumped throughout the line (in the room in particular) versus out in the pool because of this. The fact that they did it in thermally conductive tubing inside of the room just sort of doubly emphasizes this. Scores of engineers on the team and nobody has thought about the sheer size of the passive heatsink of the thermally conductive lines this entire time is wild to me.

    • @SlyNine
      @SlyNine 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      They should have just used a heatpump in the room to handle ALL of the heat. They could dump the heat where ever they wanted. They would be pushing far less fluid, which could use less energy. Would be far less convoluted. Wouldn't have to worry as much about temp deltas.

    About the heating of the pool:
    At the Technical University in Darmstadt, Germany, there is a super computer that they use to heat a campus. The catch is, they ran into the exact same problem as you! So what they‘re doing is heating up the water that goes into the cooling loop to ~40C via solar energy (dont quote me on that, but somewhere in that ballpark), because only then is it warm enough to heat several buildings, after the super computer also dumps its heat in it. The neat thing is, overall it‘s still a lot cheaper than normal heating and air cooling!
    I know this probably doesnt really help you (or maybe it will? Idk), but I figured you‘d find it to be interesting at least.

      Well since theyre trying to heat the campus it makes sense they had to deploy additional heating sources so the students wouldnt be cold.
      Since this is going to an outdoor pool that probably has additional heating anyways it doesnt really matter. Even if 99% end up in the ground it wouldnt really matter in this instance, its just a slightly higher energy bill if they care about the pool temps at all.

    I mentioned this in one of the earlier videos about this. You could change your house hotwater heater to a heat-pump style hot water heater. It uses a heat pump to transfer heat from the ambient air (that you have plenty of) to the hot water tank. These systems use only a small amount of electricity to transfer the heat, and are some of the most efficient water heaters that are currently available. You might want to try to calculate the thermal energy that is being dumped into the room, and see how much of it you can pull out.

      That's a good point. Having a 300L, albeit insulated tank of 60-70 deg water in a room = HOT. If he were to relocate the water heater outside, I think that he would see a significant drop in temps inside the room.
      Not being Canadian, I have no idea if there is some sort of climatic reason why the heaters have been installed inside.

  • @heeryanus

    Since you have separated loops anyways, it would definitely be much more beneficial to use a phase-change loop for the cooling of the room.. since your 'cold' temp inside the room is ~30 degrees anyways, you could never get it below 30-31 as you have now.

    For the water filter at 11:04, I'd suggest replacing the housing with a clear one to visually see when it's time to replace the filter, or to place pressure gauges before and after the filter in the loop for the same reason. You'll know it's time to replace the filter when you see a big enough drop in pressure after the filter.

      @Slavolko 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      @@MikkoRantalainen That's true. I suggested the clear housing because it was enough for our house. Our well pump kicked up a lot of sediment that would clog up the filter, and by the time it was noticeably caked up, we would notice a drastic loss in water pressure. Mainly though, we just didn't want to re-do the copper tubing to install pressure gauges before and after the filter, so the clear housing was better than nothing.
      Linus' pool and watercooling is a different situation from mine though, so I agree that it'd probably be better to be more proactive with the pressure gauges than the clear housing. His equipment is more sensitive than standard house plumbing.

      @asymsolutions 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Maybe, but his setup has some bad choices, they (from how they explained it) tried an air-to-water cooler instead of the opposite. Trying to cool air via conductivity of metal is horribly in-effiecent. Such components should have been on a water loop, or in individual containers full of non conductive fliud (like the mineral oil tests), and then those containers on a cooling pump that has a radiator sitting in the pool water.
      Solution should either have the pool water being pumped through the radiator, or it placed in the lowest (and coolest spot farthest away from human contact).
      The alternative would to do the reverse, in which components are in their own mineral oil containers, and the pool water is ran through radiators sitting in them. This would reduce the risk of a total system failure due to leaks, but might have the risks of more failures overall. Also since we have the radiators being built per module, there could be greater expansion since you aren't having to redo the entire pool pump system, and radiator, just tapping/adding lines and maybe upgrading the water pump itself.
      TL;DR, Air cooling is inefficient, and should be removed from the cycle as far as possible, the entire system should have zero air gaps going into that giant reservoir/ heat exchanger that is the pool.

      The hoses could not be that old, they were there before I arrived but one of the setups was recently assembled so maybe 3 years, the other maybe 5. Could be old stock, of course. Still, better than a leak or a burst, it's not the end of the world to change a few tubes. Good point on the iodine and the lack of light (although not so much natural light reaches our lab and still there were algae). We also put a HX to limit the amount of water in case of a leak, which he already has, so there's that.

    Some ideas. 1. Install a hot water heatpump. This will absorb hot air from the room and make it usable by producing hot water for showering. 2. For the winter get a second heat exchanger to dump the energy in the heating loop. Given that you have under floor heating, the water shouldnt be any hotter than 40°C anyways.

      Exactly! This was driving me nuts watching the video. Of course room heat is going to be an issue when you've got a vat of ~40c water, and piles of tubing moving it around.
      100 feet of uninsulated 1/2" PEX will lose something in the range of 400 watts. A thin layer of insulation could drop that by more then half.
      These numbers are also calculated for dead air, but with fans in the room moving air around, it's likely even higher.

      It would really depend on the cost of electricity. You are looking at a COP of ~3 on average over the year. So, on average, lets say 650-700w to cool 2000w. Doubt that pump is more than 200w, but of course, an AC can cycle as needed for cooling, that pump needs to run any time ANY system is on, even just idle. But the cost of the plumbing, rads, fans, waterblocks, pump is probably ~$3k, an AC is more in the range of $5k, plus install, for a good one. The AC would also dehumidify. Honestly, for a normal person, AC makes way more sense probably. Some thriftyness you could save money on the AC, and could totally install a simple basement system on your own.
      But then again, you wouldn't watch a 27 part series about "Linus installs an AC and it goes well and works fine".

    The sliding-door of the storage had to remain open in order for the window-less "server-room" not to overheat.
    Of course during meetings some people closed the door - though the server was usually not very loud you could hear it... and of course people forgot to open the door again at the end of the meeting... which ment latest over a weekend the storage-room became so warm, that the equipment started to shut-down 🤣
    One of my bosses had decided for this setup and really insisted keeping it alive until finally the 32bit-server became unusable after maybe 6 years, as newer Windows required 64bit and I finally was allowed to rent the few services this box provided from an external hoster.

    I want them to do a video on how this thermal camera of theirs works. I understand the physics of measuring IR radiation to determine temperature at a distance, but there is a variable called the "emissivity index" of the material being measured that you have to know to get an accurate reading. They are pointing it at insulation and PVC and plastic and metal and all kinds of different materials that have radically different EMIs. How does it know the EMI? The automatic IR thermometers I am familiar with have to bounce a laser off the material to measure the EMI and then it is only calibrated for that material.

    Tbh really loving the home upgrades. Especially this server room stuff with the pool water cooling because it’s 100% something I would do. And something I should do lol. Over half of the heat in my office during the winter comes from my pc. Now all I need is a good way to keep it cool in the summer without jacking up my electric bill.

      Same here! I have a 10000 L rain water tank and this series is getting me thinking how I could use that water to keep the gaming room cooler in our Australian summer 😎

      An energy efficient cooling method is geo thermal. The ground ~8 ft deep should always be around I think 55°F if I remember properly. Problem is the cost of installing the loop.
      If i were to do remote water cooling I would run it to my furnace ductwork on the return and have it blowing the hot air into that to allow my HVAC system to take care of it.
      There is also the use of heat recovery units which are used to heat potable water. Typically they are pulling heat from refrigeration systems and dumping it into a 50gal water tank. Thermastor is the brand I am used to dealing with.

    Considering how efficient A/C’s are at moving heat, I’d love to know the price delta between this setup and just cooling the entire room with AC and leaving the systems air cooled.

    For the cooling in the server room, I'd recommend replacing the house with one that's in the arctic. This should help with the cooling substantially.

    You should put two heat exchangers in parallel to get that delta down. Likely only a few degrees lower, but would make up for cooling the room

    My small suggestion? Either increase the distance between the manifolds in the rack or heat shield them from each other. That bundle of hot and cold tubes bugs me. Good luck! Loving the development of this crazy system!

    I always love watching these whole room water cooling videos. I got to thinking though, would it be better to have a mini-split in the room that can dynamically adjust the cooling power based on the loads of the machines. Then outside you can use a heat recovery pool heater to push that heat from the condenser into the pool. Seems like an ideal solution for you since the server room will need air conditioned year round and you shouldn't be dumping as much heat into the ground on the way to the pool. The current water cooling can still be used to get the best noise to performance on the PCs, but in the future not all devices in the rack would have to be water cooled.

    • @kryptedcode
      @kryptedcode 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I see all these comments about AC cooling but what the people are forgetting is that the point of having a water cooled system was to have no fans ergo "no noise". Having an AC would require all the racks and setups to have multiple fans each increasing the noise.
      People keep forgetting the 2nd point of this setup, one was to cool the system, the other was to eradicate noise.

    Remember that different radiators is design for different working temperatures and Delta T. Car radiators is made for high temp glycol inside and cooler fast moving air on the outside.
