We'll need non-returns in there as well, to limit the maximum possible
spillage. More seriously, the energy-efficiency community has a whole design
approach for industrial facilities called "Factor 10 Engineering" which is
about saving heat or cooling by using the shortest, straightest, fattest
pipes you can at any point. You'd probably want to keep the flexible "water
over ethernet" pipes to a minimum; have a pair of bigger risers per rack and
tap into those.
