Smardt announced the launch of its Smardt ECO AeroMod™ modular air-cooled chiller platform. This milestone marks a strategic expansion beyond Smardt's core oil-free centrifugal offering, introducing a high-performance solution engineered for scalable efficiency, modular flexibility and seamless integration across a wide range of commercial and industrial building types. The AeroMod platform is part of the newly introduced Smardt ECO™ line representing efficient, conventional and optimized, designed to deliver top-tier performance using proven, non–oil-free refrigerant compressor technologies.
"AeroMod gives owners and operators the flexibility to scale cooling capacity without compromising on space or efficiency," said Changiz Tolouee, Executive Vice President of Technology and Product Development, Smardt. "AeroMod addresses the evolving demands of building systems, where performance, footprint, reliability and redundancy must work hand in hand. With this platform, we're applying proven chiller expertise to a broader set of applications and customers."
The Smardt ECO AeroMod features a modular design with 30 and 40 ton modules, and up to 10 units can be connected for a total of 400 tons. No clearance is required between modules, thanks to internal piping headers. This compact footprint and modularity allow for seamless expansion and simplified phasing of building cooling capacity. It uses low GWP R-454B, and includes dual variable speed, scroll refrigerant compressors. There are EC fans with advanced airflow control and all-aluminum microchannel condenser coils.
Each AeroMod unit delivers superior part-load efficiency and built-in redundancy. A single module can unload down to 15% capacity with precision chilled water temperature control. A full 10-module configuration supports dynamic turndown to below 2% of total load, ensuring optimized energy use even at minimal demand.
With a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen interface and full compatibility with leading building automation systems, AeroMod is built for modern integration. Installation is further streamlined by single-point power and water connections that reduce complexity and commissioning time.
The Smardt ECO AeroMod modular air-cooled chiller platform is now available throughout North America.
