Heating & refrigeration

Sustainable solutions for a world of applications

GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies is a global specialist in industrial refrigeration, heating and sustainable engineering solutions for a wide array of industries including, food, beverage, dairy and oil & gas. Our proven technologies provide our customers with what they value most — reliability, operating efficiency, sustainability and long equipment life cycles that reduce their total cost of ownership.

GEA provides turnkey cooling and heating installations, custom-engineered systems, compressors & compressor packages, chillers, controls and heat pumps to meet precise temperature requirements. And comprehensive service programs support our customers throughout the full life cycle of their plant and equipment to ensure peak performance.

Energy efficient & sustainable solutions

By working with each client from the earliest points in the project development process, GEA can create the most effective solution and guarantee optimal quality, using energy-efficient products in a sustainable way. We provide high-end technologies for effective maintenance of the cold chain, whatever the product. We offer tailored solutions, including:

  • complete turnkey cooling installations for food and drink 
  • process refrigeration and gas compression solutions for the oil & gas industry 
  • compact refrigeration equipment for marine applications

Refrigeration systems typically consume the most energy in a plant environment. This makes it vital that installations are optimally configured and controlled. Plant owners and engineers today are faced with a myriad of responsibilities, and must meet expectations and budgets for total cost of ownership, return on investment, energy consumption, reliability and durability. Experts estimate that more than one-third of all perishable goods worldwide never reaches the end user. Insufficient cooling during storage and transport is a major contributor to this loss. And while an efficient cold chain reduces waste, industry must also implement solutions that reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability.

Due to our extensive knowledge of the food & beverage and dairy processing industries, we serve as an invaluable resource to you. We do this, in part, by providing insightful analysis during the preliminary phase of a project. This value-added benefit enables you to verify, upfront, that outputs meet the required specifications. Optimized performance positively influences your efficiency, which provides myriad benefits — higher quality, lower energy & resource requirements and less waste.
