V-Class water-cooled chillers
The world’s largest capacity water-cooled oil-free chillers
With sustainability a priority in architecture and engineering, Smardt provides the optimal solution in large capacity cooling systems: V-Class oil-free chillers.
Revolutionary chilling capacity
- 300–3600 TR (1055-12660 kW)
- Oil-free compressor(s): R1234ze, R515B, R513A, and R134a
- AHRI Certified, ETL Certified, CE
Revolutionary energy savings
Smardt V-Class offers capacity up to 3,600 tons (12,66 MW), with the highest efficiency in its class. Reliability and performance are unmatched in the industry. The result: revolutionary energy savings and a small carbon footprint.
Best-in-class kW/ton
V-Class is ideal for mission-critical, high-tonnage applications including hospitals, data centres, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and district cooling plants.
Especially in winter, V-Class oil-free centrifugal chiller can operate at extremely low condenser water temperatures and world-class kilowatts to tons refrigeration (kW/TR) values. Many other manufacturers, by comparison, require tube enhancements, controls upgrades, and other costly modifications to approach the efficiencies achieved by Smardt.
Multiple compressors provide integrated redundancy and extremely flexible turn-down to as little as 5% of full-load operation. The redundant compressors also allow continuous operation during chiller maintenance. Other design options available include modular type and series counter-flow configurations.
Key features and benefits:
- Largest capacity range in oil-free water-cooled chillers
- Class leading part-load efficiencies, achieving optimum IPLV in total capacity range
- Typically smaller footprint than chillers of comparable capacity
- Responsive chilled water control under all conditions
- Inbuilt redundancy with multiple compressors
- Designed for ease of maintenance and serviceability, featuring field-serviceable compressors
- Smardt quality, acceptance tested and pre-commissioned prior to delivery ensuring trouble-free commissioning and start-up on every project
- Low life-cycle costs
- Optional CPECs to further increase operating efficiency
- R513A, R515B and R1234ze ultra-low GWP refrigerant options with G-Class V-Series range
Unmatched water chiller performance
Many older chillers, including steam-driven and lubricated centrifugal models, are designed for full-load operation. However, they typically operate under part-load conditions, where their efficiency is reduced, and prolonged use at these levels can lead to a decline in performance over time.
In sharp contrast, V-Class oil-free water chillers are highly reliable at both part and full load—with quiet operation. This makes the V-Class industrial water chillers the logical choice for applications where maintaining chiller plant reliability is critical as well as for meeting chilled water demand.
Your investment in any Smardt oil-free magnetic bearing chiller provides:
- Lower power consumption by 20 to 50%.
- Zero performance degradation.
- Smaller footprint: takes less real estate in your plant room.
- Ease of installation: reduce cost on material and labor.
- Reduction in annual maintenance.
