AC-TEC is pleased to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive chiller replacement project for a valued client.
Due to the advancing age and deteriorating condition of the two existing Smardt air-cooled chillers, AC-TEC was commissioned to undertake a full replacement with state-of-the-art new Smardt Turbocor (oil-free centrifugal) chillers. Each new unit delivers a nominal capacity of 400 kW, providing enhanced performance, superior energy efficiency, and long-term reliability to meet the facility’s cooling demands.
This project extended beyond simple unit substitution. It included a targeted upgrade to the existing control systems, ensuring seamless integration, optimised operation, and improved overall system reliability for years to come.
Key project highlights include:
- Complete replacement of two legacy Smardt air-cooled chillers with modern, high-efficiency Smardt Turbocor models
- Advanced oil-free technology featuring magnetic bearings for reduced maintenance, lower operating costs, and exceptional part-load efficiency
- Control system enhancements to deliver greater operational stability and future-proof performance
By investing in this upgrade, the client now benefits from Smardt’s proven leadership in oil-free centrifugal chiller technology—renowned globally for delivering the lowest lifetime operating costs, reduced energy consumption, and minimal environmental impact.
AC-TEC remains committed to delivering innovative HVAC solutions that prioritise efficiency, reliability, and client satisfaction. We thank our team and partners for their expertise in executing this project to the highest standards.
