        No closed loop system is 100% efficient. I worked in my youth with steam loop systems and even they developed leaks. Every few years needed to be shutdown and drained. 100% if they truly meant that is a fantasy/lie.

          “Designed” to be 100%. Obviously there are some practical limits, like if something wears out or physically breaks / degrades over time. Limits on how well something can be sealed, etc.

          If you have an automobile, how often are you topping off the radiator?

            How often you change coolant in a automobile varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you have a Toyota you should replace it every two years or 30,000 miles. Everyone keeps trying to convince me its 100% but its not and it can’t ever be. The infrastructure to achieve it is way too expensive. They will just drain the water table. We are not dealing with decent human beings.

          Refilling the whole system every few years is a 99.99999+% reduction though. I’ll give them a pass for rounding up on the headline or press release.

            Eh, I think even if it’s 99.9999% they should still round down to 99% to give the reader the knowledge that no it’s not actually 100% even if it’s miniscule. 99% is still super impressive. 100% means one thing and one thing only.

              Lol, and now you’re being persnickety about a 100,000th or 10,000th placeholder for the 9 in a forum comment. Do I need to smell your pits? I think we know how often you bathe. XD

                Nope. Just the reality that I described one closed loop system while Data centers represents thousands of closed loop systems. You need to work on your responses. Your attempt at descibing the odor of my response has nothing to do with where I pulled it from. I pulled it from reality. That thing you try to create not the one we all live in.
