What hot regions use evap systems in data centers? Seems the humidity wouldn’t be worth it and once you dehumidify you might as well use an a/c in the first place.
Does a compressor use more energy than a dehumidifier? Seems like there might still be some savings by avoiding the compressor

I thought dehumidifiers contain compressors.

This seems like a roundabout way to achieve a closed-loop cooling cycle. Why do this vs a water-to-air heat exchanger and never evaporate the water in the first place?
To do the same with a heat exchanger would need a much much bigger heat exchanger, and some of these evaporation systems are already pretty big.

Will it be something like the ones used for binary load lifters?
