GEA GRASSO V SERIES

Reduce your total cost of ownership and your carbon footprint.

While developing the new Grasso reciprocating compressors, GEA engineers continually put themselves in the position of the end-user. Time and again, each component was assessed for the most important elements that contribute to a low TCO:

• Energy efficiency
• Minimal maintenance costs
• Maximum reliability with minimal downtime

GEA uses natural refrigerants, such as ammonia, the get the best from the GEA Grasso compressors, and help protect the environment for future generations.

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.

Innovation

GEA has always invested in reciprocating technology with a clear vision for the future. The all new, 2nd Generation Grasso V reciprocating compressors follow this trend. They have all the key features of the previous Grasso V models, but better:

Up to 25% lower maintenance costs

New, improved bearing materials give better resistance to ammonia liquid and continual start/stops. This means maintenance intervals can be extended, reducing labor and parts costs over the lifetime of the equipment.

Up to 25% more capacity for the same investment

The increased swept volumes, created through higher compressor speeds, give up to 25% more capacity, resulting in a lower investment per kW cooling capacity and, in most cases, a smaller footprint.

Highlights and Technical Features

• Best-in-class efficiency and reliability
• Designed for ammonia as a natural refrigerant: zero ODP, zero GWP
