Hi Rod, water and air are both heat transfer fluids with very different properties that are widely used in data centre cooling. Your question isn't specific enough to get an answer, and in my view it's beyond the scope of the UKNOF list. There are plenty of white papers on DC cooling out there so I suggest a good read through these may be in order if you want to get a better understanding of things. :)
