You certainly wouldn't want salt on any circuit boards. Liquid would be extremely conductive, and dried salt crystals wouldn't be great either. Might be like glitter.

It is not NaCl, corrosion might not be an issue. I would call it open circuit water cooling, this thing is just a solid state evaporator. Anyway, as sibling comment said, you don't want the moisture anywhere near your datacenter, and runtime of 400 minutes doesn't sound like production ready product.
Maybe it could make sense for burst usage patterns, but standard water-cooling or connecting huge metal blocks seems to be simpler solution. This one could compete at best with liquid nitrogen.
