Smardt Case Studies — Innovation in Action
Explore real-world examples of how organizations across industries are transforming their cooling performance with Smardt's high-efficiency solutions.
Historic Tianjin Hotel Achieves 40% Energy Savings with Smardt Oil-Free Chiller Technology
Working closely with the hotel team, Smardt delivered its oil-free magnetic bearing chiller solution that improved IPLV from 3.5 to over 10 and reduced annual operating costs by more than RMB 200,000.
EXTENDING CHILLER LIFE WITH A REGEN COMPRESSOR
When a compressor failed on one of the two water cooled chillers serving the laboratory environment at SUNY Upstate Medical University’s Nappi Center, Elemental Commercial Services needed to restore cooling capacity quickly. Instead of buying a new compressor, the team installed a ReGen Labs remanufactured Turbocor compressor. It cost about 25% less than the new option, came with a two year warranty, and had the chiller back in operation the same day.
Building a More Sustainable Energy Future for Swarthmore College
Smardt's heat recovery chillers support Swarthmore College's transition from a traditional steam-based system to lower-carbon geothermal heating and cooling.
Against the Clock: How Dalkia and Smardt Restored Critical Cooling Over a Weekend
When the only chiller serving an Empire State Realty property went down on a Friday morning, there was little room for error—and even less time. With a critical replacement CPU located hundreds of miles away andno standard weekend process for accessing it, Smardt and Dalkia U.S. Chillers mobilized across teams, locations and the weekend to find a solution.
A Landmark in Sustainable Cooling: Barangaroo Gallery & Event Hall
Set within 22 hectares of reclaimed land on Sydney’s Barangaroo waterfront, the Barangaroo Gallery & Event Hall is part of a government-led refurbishment of a semi-underground cultural space. Designed to host everything from contemporary art exhibitions to corporate events and music festivals, the venue needed an HVAC system that could provide year-round comfort, meet strict sustainability goals, and operate quietly within the limitations of its underground plant room.
Rapid Replacement for Mission-Critical Cooling
A mission-critical data center in the New York region required two high-efficiency chillers to support 24/7 IT operations. Just before delivery in early 2025, one of the chillers was severely damaged during transport by a third-party contractor. With the facility’s commissioning date fixed, Smardt had to manufacture and install a replacement in record time without compromising performance.
Powering Industrial Decarbonization With The World’s Largest Oil-Free Magnetic Bearing Chillers
The Eastman Business Park (EBP) is one of North America’s largest industrial research and manufacturing campuses, spanning more than 1,200 acres and over 16 million square feet.
Emergency Cooling Recovery: ReGen Labs Restores Full Capacity in 72 Hours
A major commercial hub on the West Coast faced a severe operational disruption after its primary cooling system failed and its backup system was operating at only a fraction of capacity. ReGen Labs, working with Western Allied Corp., responded with an emergency intervention that restored full cooling functionality in just three days.
A Partnership Driving Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Our collaboration with GenSci began with a clear objective to modernize an aging chiller plant that was limiting operational reliability, consuming excessive energy, and producing excessive noise. The goal was also to align with their strong commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Proven Performance, Trusted Partnership with Yihai Kerry Group
Smardt’s collaboration with Yihai Kerry began in 2021 at the Qinhuangdao plant, marking the start of a partnership built on shared goals of efficiency, reliability, and reduced environmental impact.
