Sustainable technology is becoming increasingly important for the operation of industrial and commercial refrigeration systems. Growing public awareness, the strive for fossil independence and advancing climate and environmental protection standards are promoting cleaner, eco-friendly sources of energy. This makes systems using the power of alternative sources, such as natural refrigerants with its outstanding characteristics, increasingly attractive. GEA BluX has been developed for ammonia (R717) – the climate-friendly, future-proof and highly efficient natural refrigerant for sustainable refrigeration solutions – in compliance with the F-gas regulations. It plays a key role in supplying people around the world with pleasant living and working environments, fresh food and beverages, and further goods, for example pharmaceuticals.
Air conditioning of commercial, residential and public buildings
GEA BluX is an ideal chiller for air conditioning systems. Almost every type of modern commercial, residential or public building needs systems to ensure a comfortable air temperature and healthy living conditions.
