G-Class V-Series Water-Cooled Chillers
Smardt’s G-Class of chillers is distinguished by its use of environmentally-friendly refrigerants boasting
ultra-low GWP ratings. G-Class Water-Cooled V-Series Chillers are Smardt’s large-capacity chillers that
utilize Smardt’s oil-free chiller technology and Turbocor’s VTX compressors with ultra-low GWP R1234ze
refrigerant. G-Class V-Series Chillers are available from 300 to 2900 TR (1055 to 10200 kW) and can be
supplied in multiple configurations, which Smardt can customize per the requirements of your application.
G-Class Water-Cooled
Smardt has brought its extensive
experience in oil-free chiller
development, sales and service into
designing the G-Class V-Series — a
range of large-capacity water-cooled
chillers that deliver the highest level of
reliability, outstanding efficiency and the
lowest total cost of ownership.*
GClass V-Series Chillers offer valuable
benefits to owners and operators, such
as ease of installation, simple streamlined
operation and maintenance, and lower
lifetime operating and maintenance costs.
These advantages are the hallmark of
Smardt chillers.
Oil-Free Operation
Smardt oil-free centrifugal chillers use
magnetic bearings and a variablespeed drive to deliver IPLV efficiencies
that far surpass those of conventional
oil-lubricated centrifugal, reciprocating,
scroll and screw chillers.
Smardt utilizes totally oil-free Turbocor
compressor technology, achieving
the highest part-load efficiencies for
our chillers and chilled water systems
(including water-, air- and evaporativelycooled applications).
Proprietary magnetic bearings replace
conventional oil-lubricated bearings.
This eliminates the high friction losses,
mechanical wear, and the highermaintenance oil management systems
that are inherent with conventional
compressor designs.
Turbocor’s primary moving part (the
rotor shaft and impellers) is levitated
during rotation by a digitally controlled
magnetic bearing system. Position
sensors at each magnetic bearing
provide real-time feedback to the
bearing control system, 120 times each
revolution, ensuring constantly centered
rotation.
The result is oil-free operation that
delivers significant chiller energy savings
compared with standard chillers, and
provides an extended service life without
the efficiency decrease seen in oil-based
systems.
Global Number One
Smardt is the industry leader in oil-free
centrifugal chillers. Smardt pioneered oilfree centrifugal compressor technology
to provide plant owners and operators
a line of chillers that broke through
industry norms of lifetime performance,
energy conservation (reducing operating
expenses), streamlined maintenance, and
ease of operation.
Since our first oil-free centrifugal chiller in
2002, more than 10,000 Smardt chillers,
ranging from 60 TR up to 3200 TR, are
now saving money, energy and CO2
emissions across the globe.

Commitment to Environment
Smardt’s commitment to the environment
is fundamental to our chiller engineering
and design, and is central to our
company and in our products. Smardt
played a vital role in the innovation and
development of oil-free compressor
technology, and we engineered chillers
that leveraged that oil-free technology.
We develop true optimization systems
that enable plants to operate in the most
energy-efficient and effective manner
possible. And Smardt’s environmental
commitment extends to supporting
evolving refrigerant policies worldwide.
Largest Capacity Chiller
Smardt G-Class V-Series chillers are
designed for projects with ambitious
kW/TR requirements. The world’s largest

Turbocor VTX Compressor
The G-Class V-Series can be equipped
with 1–8 Turbocor VTX oil-free
compressors. The Turbocor VTX
compressors boast outstanding fullload efficiencies. On V-Series chillers,
Turbocor VTX compressors use R1513A,
R1234ze, or R515B refrigerants.

V Design Series Variations
The Smardt G-Class V-Series chiller is
also available in two versions that are
tailored for projects with special project
requirements. These are the Modular and
the Pony Express versions.
Modular Version
Smardt’s modular chillers are specially
designed to enable safe and efficient
transport in sections that fit within
a typical freight elevator. This can
avoid costly and time-consuming wall
demolition and rebuilding that might
otherwise be necessary for access.

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

low-load “pony chiller” for reduced-load
situations such as nighttime or weekends.
This extends the chiller’s capabilities at
full or part load. It is achieved by utilizing
a combination of multiple Turbocor VTX
compressors running parallel with a
single, smaller-capacity TGS compressor.
This Pony Express compressor mix
efficiently handles all types of loads. In a
Pony Express configuration, the G-Class
V-Series Chiller can use either R513A,
R515B, or R1234ze refrigerants.
Turbocor TGS Compressor
The TGS is from Turbocor’s “green” range
of compressors, so-named because they
use next-generation refrigerants. The TGS
can operate with R1234ze (GWP <1),
and R515B (GWP is 299).*
Smardt’s G-Class chillers can be
equipped with up to eight Turbocor TGS
oil-free compressors. VFDs are built-in,
and drives are internal to the machine.
As with all oil-free compressors, the TGS
features reduced vibration and quiet
operation (up to 8dBA lower than screw
compressors) — ideal for noise-sensitive
applications.
Multiple Configurations
Smardt can configure your G-Class
V-Series chiller to fit any footprint or
height restriction, with multiple barrel
configurations available (see illustration
above).
Extended Service Life
The G-Class V-Series chiller is designed
for a service life of 25 years.
Chiller Options
Options for Smardt’s G-Class V-Series
chillers include our integrated pump
packages, and economizers.
Smardt Restart ensures that in the
event of a power failure, your Smardt
chiller is back on line as quickly as
45 seconds. Chilled water supply for
critical applications is not impacted by
intermittent power loss, eliminating the
need for additional thermal storage. The
start-up mode includes additional motor
and surge protection.
Applications
Energy conscious plant owners and
operators want optimized performance
with savings over the life of the chiller.
Smardt’s G-Class V-Series chillers
support critical-load applications in a
variety of markets, including commercial,
data center, pharmaceutical, hospital,
higher education, district cooling, hotels,
malls, and manufacturing.
Smardt G-Class V-Series Water-Cooled Chillers offer barrel configuration flexibility for
applications with restricted footprints or access challenges.
