Free air cooling uses evaporative coolers. They are not running chillers. Belgium also has a water treatment center bringing in water from an industrial canal for their coolers and thus runs on 100% recycled water.

In Finland, they run heat exchangers with water from the Baltic Sea, again, a chiller-less data center.
