We are cooling 15KW/rack for high performance computing using the Trox
CO2 system:

Obviously this is a very new technology for the moment but I think our
experiences have been favourable. I'm not an expert but I think we
reject heat directly outside (300KW plant) but they also have systems
designed to exchanged directly into building chilled water.
