GEA chillers as environmentally friendly technologies
Innovation meets sustainability: GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies has been one of the leading experts in creating technologically advanced heating and cooling systems to decarbonize industrial processes.
Our chillers are available both as turnkey units with compact footprints – such as the models in the GEA Blu chiller range – as well as tailored solutions in modular design. No matter which model you choose, each and every one of them is characterized by great reliability and optimal energy efficiency.
Our machines are used in different industries, for example for the following purposes:
- freezing food products, dairy and beverages
- process cooling in the chemical industry
- air conditioning in office complexes
- low-temperature heat recovery and more.
Chiller certifications
As a global supplier, GEA’s chiller portfolio comprises chiller product versions to align with varying regulatory certification requirements as follows:
GEA CE-certified chillers.
GEA ASME/UL/CSA-certified chillers (primarily for the North American market).
The certification designation for each chiller is indicated in the “Products” section below.
The GEA Blu Chiller for every requirement
Divided into four different model series (BluAstrum, BluGenium, BluAir as well as the new semi-hermetic BluX), every GEA chiller of the Blu family can fit even small and restricted machine rooms. Furthermore, all Blu chillers are available as a remote version without condenser. Based on ammonia (R717) as a refrigerant, all Blu chillers are a sustainable choice with an impressive global warming potential of zero as well as an ozone depletion potential of zero. Our GEA experts will be pleased to advise you regarding our 29 chiller models, their individual advantages as well as the options for tailoring their construction specifically to your company’s needs.
GEA BluAstrum
As a modern and flexible flagship of the GEA Blu products, the BluAstrum chiller is an especially slim and therefore extremely handy solution. Able to fit through every standard-sized door, the compact measurements do not in any way compromise its quality or efficiency. Easy transportation as well as low maintenance due to the latest screw compressor technology are a given and make this GEA chiller a smart and dynamic choice.
GEA BluGenium
Thanks to its elaborate piston compressor technology, this series is especially energy efficient and impresses with a European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) above 9 while under full load. The GEA BluGenium chiller comes in seven different model sizes and is the first choice if you value a production output that equally meets your demands regarding quantity as well as quality.
GEA BluAir
If you are looking for an outdoor application that is not only weatherproof but also works at a very low noise level, the six different GEA BluAir models are just right for you. The state-of-the-art air-cooled condensers are equipped with highly efficient fans to achieve a sound protection level of more than 20 dB(A) – therefore the GEA chiller can be used in a wide range of operation sites even without existing cooling water management.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
