T-Class Air-Cooled Chillers
Smardt’s T-Class of chillers utilize Smardt’s oil-free chiller technology with Turbocor’s TTS or TTH compressors
using R134a refrigerant. T-Class Air-Cooled AE Design Series Chillers are available from 40 to 500 TR
(140 to 1760 kW) and can be supplied in multiple configurations, which Smardt can customize per the
requirements of your application.
T-Class AE Design Series
Smardt has brought its extensive
experience in oil-free chiller
development, sales and service into
designing the T-Class — a range of aircooled chillers that deliver the highest
level of reliability, outstanding efficiency
and the lowest total cost of ownership.
T-Class 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.

Innovative Base Frame
Smardt’s T-Class AE series chillers sit
atop a newly design base frame that
provides the T-Class chiller with the
industry’s smallest footprint for air-cooled
chillers. This stainless steel space-frame
type design is specially engineered
and designed to be a rigid, lightweight
platform for the T-Class chiller.
Compressors & Refrigerants
Smardt’s T-Class AE series chillers offers
maximum flexibility to meet application
and project requirements, utilizing either
the Turbocor TTS or the high-lift TTH oilfree compressors. Both the TTS and TTH
compressors use R134a or the low-GWP
R513A refrigerants. VFDs are built-in, and
drives are internal to the machine.*
TTS Compressor TTH Compressor
High-Lift Conditions
The TTH compressor’s expanded
operating map enables it to operate
under demanding high-lift conditions up
to 52 °C / 126 °F ambient temperatures,
making it ideal for hot, dry climates.
Reduced Sound
As oil-free compressors, both the TTS and
TTH compressors feature significantly
reduced vibration (up to 8dBA lower
than screw compressors) and quiet
operation—ideal for noise-sensitive
applications.
Extended Service Life
With either compressor, the T-Class
chiller is designed for a service life of 25
years.
Applications
Energy conscious plant owners and
operators want optimized performance
with savings over the life of the chiller.
Smardt’s T-Class AE 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.
Highlights
•Class leading part-load efficiencies,
achieving optimum IPLV in total capacity
range.
•Typically smaller footprint than chillers of
comparable capacity.
•Advanced corrosion protection on
critical operating surface areas for base
frame and coils
•Quiet ECM fans on all units.
•Adaptable by design - a base range
with options to suit any air-cooled
application.
•Smardt’s robust casing protects the
condenser coils from the elements.
•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 commisioning
and startup ensuring trouble-free
commissioning and start-up on every
project.
*The Danfoss Turbocor TTS compressor can use R134a or R513A
refrigerants. A Smardt T-Class chiller using R513A effectively
becomes a G-class chiller.
