Data Center Water Consumption Calculator
Calculator Assumptions
40% of data center energy is used for cooling
Each 1,000 kilowatts of cooling load requires 1,027 US gallons per minute of condenser water flow through the evaporative cooling towers
Cooling system utilizes 3 imperial gallons per minute of condenser water per ton of cooling
Evaporation consumes about 1% of condenser water flow
Drift and blowdown consume about .5% of condenser water flow
