Ultra Series Water-Cooled Chiller
Smardt's extensive expertise in oil-free chiller technology is applied to its water-cooled solutions to redefine performance standards. Unparalleled energy efficiency is prioritised to significantly reduce operational overhead and ensure the lowest total cost of ownership. Customisation is a core component, with flexible configurations engineered to meet unique site requirements, including seamless integration into restricted footprints. Furthermore, a commitment to enhanced serviceability, paired with simplified installation processes, ensures that owners benefit from systems delivering optimal performance with minimal complexity.
Oil-Free Operation -
The core of Smardt's performance
Smardt's oil-free centrifugal technology, driven by advanced magnetic bearings and variable-speed drives, achieves industry-leading Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) efficiencies that surpass those of traditional oil-lubricated chillers. Its proprietary magnetic bearing system removes friction losses and mechanical wear while eliminating the need for complex, high-maintenance oil management systems.
Key benefits include:
• Optimised heat exchange with no oil contamination
•High part-load efficiency for real-world operating conditions
•Soft-start operation with minimal electrical impact
• Low noise and vibration
• Reduced maintenance complexity
• Robust, compact system design

COMMISSIONING
OPTIMISATION
Improved system reliability
Reduced operational risks & costs
Regulatory & sustainability compliance
Enhanced energy efficiency
Process-driven optimisation
We help you get the most from your central plant systems with a data-driven approach that cuts energy use, lowers costs, and boosts performance.
It starts with an energy audit to pinpoint inefficiencies, followed by tailored solutions built around your plant's needs. Often this includes our Central Plant Energy Conservation System (CPECS) a smart platform that dynamically manages equipment for maximum efficiency.
From assessment to full integration, we deliver seamless projects backed by proven results in commercial, institutional, and mission-critical facilities. The outcome: measurable savings, stronger reliability, and greater visibility supporting your efficiency and sustainability goals.
