Our oil-free centrifugal compressor combines advanced aerodynamics, high-speed motor technology, and foil bearing design to deliver high efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. This industry-leading solution supports modern HVAC, data center cooling, and thermal management systems by reducing maintenance, lowering noise, and enabling the use of ultra-low GWP refrigerants.

Key Takeaways

• Superior energy efficiency: Garrett’s innovative centrifugal compressor offers significant cost savings potential for industrial cooling applications and can support reducing overall energy demand in supply constraint applications like data centers.
• Reduced maintenance and cost requirements: The oil-free technology is designed to last significantly longer than today’s scroll compressor solutions, and helps end-customers to reduce regular maintenance costs and intervals. The risk of costly down-times and failures is significantly reduced.
• Enable low GWP refrigerants: Unlike scroll compressor technology, Garrett’s centrifugal compressors are an excellent fit for the next generation ultra-low GWP refrigerants, enabling significant greenhouse gas emission reductions in the commercial and industrial HVAC space.
• Building retrofit: Garrett’s centrifugal compressor technology enables much more compact and lightweight compressors, facilitating the transition to the next generation GWP refrigerants. A key enabler for the next generation of more sustainable HVAC systems for building retrofits with highly attractive payback periods.
• Significantly smaller and lighter packaging: Even when paired with today’s industry standard refrigerants, Garrett’s centrifugal compressors are more than five times lighter and less than half the size than comparable solutions.
• Less noise: Noise intensity is cut in half compared to today’s industry standard solutions thanks to Garrett’s centrifugal technology and extensive experience in high-speed balancing.
• Technology response time: Faster ramp-up and shut-down capabilities, enabling target cooling performance when urgently needed, such as heat spikes in data centers to protect the assets and ensure optimal computing performance.
• Broader climate conditions range: Enabling more efficient cooling, as well as heating, even in extreme temperatures across climate zones.
