Chillventa eSpecial 2020

Why? Because 2020 marks the end of a decade and the beginning of a new one. Just like Neil Armstrong when he first set foot on the moon, we strongly believe that technology and people can truly make a difference and guide us towards a better future. As long as we set the right priorities, we can take the right actions that lead to the bigger impact we all need so badly right now, for our businesses and for the planet. As long as we know where we’re going, we can take steps in the right direction, so our leap becomes reality.

Switching to natural refrigerants, opting for innovative energy-efficient solutions, replacing a boiler with a high-performance heat pump, choosing the right components, setting the parameters of your compressors right… – these may seem like small steps but, in the end, they allow you to make a giant leap.

And that’s what this Chillventa eSpecial 2020 is all about. We truly hope the webinars and product launches our GEA Refrigeration Technologies team have prepared for you will inspire you.

So you’ll be able to take the right small steps and fully focus on your next giant leap.

We are looking forward to e-meet you!

With the release of our GEA Grasso V HS and GEA Grasso LT with increased maximum top speeds, you now no longer have to choose between initial investment and total cost of ownership. With our brand-new high-speed compressors, you get more out of your investment than ever before. How much? 25% more capacity for almost the same financial outlay. Now you can finally buy the best quality and the best price. Now you no longer have to worry about this small step, and can focus fully on your next giant leap.

The reciprocating compressor models GEA Grasso V 700, V 1100, V 1400, and V 1800, formerly at maximum speed of 1,200 rpm, can now be operated with NH₃ up to 1,500 rpm. For GEA Grasso LT screw compressor types R, S, and T the allowable speed for NH₃ will increase from previous maximum 3,600 rpm to 4,500 rpm.

Specifically designed for subcritical cooling applications with CO₂ or heat pumps with NH₃, the new high-pressure compressor package series meet the growing demands for natural refrigerants. Combined cooling and heating is also possible. The GEA Grasso SP1 HP (high-pressure) package is based on the successful, classic GEA Grasso SP1 line. With the widest CO₂ cooling and NH₃ heating capacity range in the market, we let you take every step in temperature you need.

The GEA Blu-Red Fusion is particularly suited for combined cooling/refrigeration and heating demands at low heat source temperature levels and high temperature lifts between heat source and heat sink. The intermediate stage is equipped with one single, efficient ammonia-ammonia “cascade” heat exchanger. Not only does the design drastically reduce the equipment offer, it also makes an intermediate liquid cycle redundant which reduces the differential pressure of both stages and does not waste more Kilowatts on glycol or water pumps. The efficiency plus easily reaches double digit numbers. This means a dramatic reduction of energy costs and CO₂ emissions.

GEA Red heat pumps (GEA RedGenium and GEA RedAstrum) are now available with an ammonia cascade evaporator. This heat exchanger uses waste heat from any chiller process with ammonia, working simultaneously as the condenser for the chiller and the evaporator for the heat pump.

The Red heat pump “cascade” version is your logical #1 choice for all applications in which the heat pump is added to an existing chiller. Compared with conventional systems that separate chiller and heat pump stages using an intermediate liquid cooling cycle, our “cascade” solution improves the efficiency by over 10 %.

GEA Red heat pumps provide supply temperatures up to +80 °C (screw compressor based GEA RedAstrum) and +70 °C (reciprocating compressor based GEA RedGenium), heating capacities up to 2,900 kW and are suited wherever process or district heating is required.

The GEA RedAstrum series has recently been extended by three more (screw compressor) sizes now offering seven sizes in total, almost doubling the available capacity range for our customers.

We let you take three steps at once with our sophisticated GEA CompaX: a three-in-one design with integrated oil separator and electric motor. It is particularly suited for use in modern centralized air conditioning systems, e.g. office buildings, shopping malls, or airports. The GEA CompaX operates without a shaft seal and reduces leakage risk to a minimum. Its efficiency is incomparable thanks to a wide speed and Vi range and the use of ammonia as a refrigerant. Are you ready to take the leap to safe and simplified NH₃ air conditioning?

GEA BluQ is the world's first ammonia chiller with a semi-hermetic compact screw compressor. With cooling capacities of up to 1600 kW with the GEA CompaX, the GEA BluQ liquid chiller is the ideal core component for air conditioning in buildings. This is where its benefits really stand out – such as excellent efficiency with full and partial loads, and easy installation thanks to its space-saving design. GEA BluQ is characterized by an innovative design that eliminates the risk of refrigerant emissions under normal use and operating conditions. In this way, GEA provides a modern technical solution for building air conditioning.

GEA has launched an addition to its range of ball valves by adding the KVplus and KVplus cryo series of top-entry ball valves designed specifically to operate with pressures of up to 100 bar. The KVplus series is capable over the full temperature range from -50°C to +200°C, the KVplus cryo series is capable over the temperature range from -196°C to +100°C. This makes the KVplus and KVplus cryo series suitable for use with natural refrigerants (NH₃, CO₂), cooling brines, and non-corrosive gases and liquids according to EN 378-1.
