Abstract
This disclosure describes a unified cooling architecture for AI-intensive data centers that achieves near-zero consumptive water use (WUE ≈ 0). The design modularizes heat capture into 1 MW_IT pods and provides a site-selectable rejection manifold that can simultaneously or alternatively employ (A) dry coolers, (B) closed-loop borefield geoexchange, (C) natural-water plate heat exchangers (non-consumptive intake/outfall), and (D) optional heat reuse via district heating or industrial offtake.
The novelty lies in tri-path blending + revenue-aware reuse, seasonal recharge of geothermal baselines, and permit-aware plume control in real-time supervisory logic. The system is engineered for high-density GPU loads, modular scale-out, and resilient failover, enabling AI growth without evaporative cooling towers.
