Screw compressor
Screw compressor optimized for ammonia heat pumps up to +95°C / 203 °F and 70-bar / 1,016-psi gas applications.
The GEA Grasso L XHP screw compressor is ideally suited for heat pumps. Based on the tried-and-trusted GEA Grasso screw compressor technology that has been refined over the last 50 years, the optimized design lends itself to a wide range of applications. As a result, we have extended the operation limits so that the GEA Grasso L XHP features a design pressure of 70 bar / 1,016 psi and a maximum discharge temperature of 140°C / 284°F. That means it is also a perfect fit for high-pressure gas applications. The compressor series is available in three sizes with a swept volume of 1,990 to 2,748 m³/h / 1,172 to 1,617 cfm at a running speed of 2,940 rpm.
To ensure that the L XHP delivers the efficiency and reliability expected of a sustainable solution, we engineered an innovative new rotor profile. When combined with the extremely robust design and new balance piston concept, it makes the GEA Grasso L XHP the best high-pressure screw compressor we have ever created. It’s perfect for ammonia heat pumps and high-pressure gas applications.

How Heat Pumps Work Animation
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
