I mean, yes, it can evaporate - inside the loop. There is no “loss”. If you fill a container half way with water, seal it airtight, and boil it, the water inside it is converted to gas. But that doesn’t mean it’s gone, you can just cool it down to convert the gas back to a liquid. There is no “loss” as that would violate the law of conservation of mass, which explicitly states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system through ordinary physical or chemical processes.
However you twist it - a loss of water is completely impossible in a closed loop.
To all the people downvoting without explaining - drop me an explanation instead of just doing that. I’m more than willing to accept that I’m wrong if someone can just explain to me how I’m wrong.
Well there is. Depending on the space. It can evaporate to a point where there is equilibrium between the gas and liquid.
All that being said, you and I are thinking on a pretty small scale. We’re thinking of liquid cooling on a home PC. For that large a scale, I’m sure the cooling system is pumping from a large reservoir to consistently keep that large a system cool. So there very much is room for evaporation in such a system.
And again, the researchers have found this to be the case. I see what you’re saying, but I think you’re conceiving of a much smaller, closed loop system, where on a server farm, they are using something much more efficient than a closed loop system. I dunno, though. I’m thinking of what you’re saying and considering the findings, and trying to conceive of the way that it’s happening. That’s pretty much where I land on it
Evaporation, is my understanding. Even sealed containers have evaporation in heat conditions.
