The article deals with the basic cooling schemes for server rooms and existing solutions, describes their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the main features of each cooling method, and also gives the classification of cooling methods. Particular attention is paid to cooling in the winter. We focus on the basic problems arising at cooling the server rooms, and ways of their solution on an example of existing systems of air conditioning. We carried out a comparative analysis of known cooling schemes and identified the most energy efficient schemes, which make it possible to significantly reduce the loss of cooling capacity.
