1. A method of subsidizing a cost of providing information, comprising:
providing an immersion-cooling system having a tank containing a computer system immersed in a low-pressure liquid-phase of a working fluid, the tank having a headspace containing a low-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid, and the computer system providing the information;
directing the low-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid from the headspace to a compressor external to the tank;
compressing the low-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid to produce a high-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid at a temperature elevated above a temperature of the working fluid in the tank;
utilizing the high-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid in a heat exchanger to operate a commercial process, during which the high-pressure vapor-phase of the working fluid is condensed to a high-pressure liquid-phase of the working fluid;
reducing a pressure of the high-pressure liquid-phase to produce a low-pressure liquid-phase of the working fluid;
returning the low-pressure liquid-phase of the working fluid to the tank, where it is mixed with the low-pressure liquid-phase of the working fluid in the tank; and
monitoring and controlling among at least two of the computer system, the tank, operation of a bellows, the compressor, a pressure regulator, and the commercial process;
wherein the commercial process involves application or transfer of thermal energy to a solid or fluid for use in production of a product or service.
