Efficiency at higher degrees
GEA Grasso V HP package
High pressure reciprocating compressor packages for ammonia heat pump applications.
GEA Grasso V HP
The GEA Grasso V series stands for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to less power consumption and maximum reliability. This proven high-efficiency concept is now also available for heat pump applications.
The GEA Grasso V HP series introduces ammonia reciprocating compressors with a maximum design pressure of 39 bar. This makes these new models the first choice for all hot water applications up to 70 °C to meet most industrial requirements in the food industry and elsewhere, especially for cleaning and processing.
An external oil pump on the new models ensures pre-lubrication and a guaranteed continuous oil flow for maximum reliability in full and part load.
The state-of-the-art GEA Omni Control Panel with built-in control apps unlocks the sophisticated operating options of the compressor.
A further step towards Industry 4.0. is the unique Continuous Status Analysis (CSA) function for measuring operating conditions and alerting the operator in case of deviation from normal values.
In short, the new V HP is true to its roots in the V series philosophy, which has efficiency in its DNA.
