Reciprocating Compressor Systems
GEA Grasso V HS
High speed reciprocating compressors for more capacity
GEA’s industrial reciprocating compressors stand for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to less power consumption, minimal maintenance costs and maximum reliability. This proven concept is now also available at higher speeds.
The high-speed version offers a higher refrigeration capacity along with a lower investment. The speed increase provides clients with a significant increase in capacity. Because of the proportional correlation of compressor speed, swept volume and resulting capacity, up to 25 % more capacity can now be gained using the same models. That returns a significant improvement (reduction) of the relative price per kilowatt. Alternatively, users with a specific, fixed capacity requirement can benefit from the higher speed by allowing them to achieve the capacity demands with smaller compressor equipment meaning less investment and less footprint. When the high-speed version is operating at lower speeds, it offers the same significant saving potentials for your Total Cost of Ownership, reduced footprint and CO₂ emissions as the normal Grasso V series.
GEA uses natural refrigerants, such as ammonia, to get the best from the GEA Grasso compressors, and help protect the environment for future generations.
GEA chooses natural refrigerants
GEA Grasso compressors are designed and produced in Europe. They bring together more than 100 years of design experience with market leading research and technology. GEA reciprocating compressors are manufactured in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. You are invited to visit and see the precision and quality of the GEA production process first-hand.
