That's how most data center cooling works, afaik.

I am so not an engineer, so maybe this is super stupid, but would there be some way to make it a closed loop by capturing the evaporated water and then letting it travel enough of a distance that it cools off and ~~liquefies~~ condenses and ends up in a holding pool?

Edit: I told you I was stupid.

Probably expensive+ you're going to lose mass no matter what because physics don't give a shit.
