CUSTOMIZED GEA HEAT PUMPS

There are applications for which standard ammonia heat pumps may not be suitable. For these customers, GEA can tailor bespoke designs to suit their individual needs.

There are many different reasons why customers choose customized heat pumps from GEA. For example, the heat pump capacity required is outside the standard range, or the required heating temperatures exceed the limits of GEA standard heat pumps. It’s also possible that the type of heat source requires special heat exchangers or the very large temperature lifts required can be provided more efficiently with a serial heating and/or cooling arrangement.

A customized heat pump can also be a way of introducing new innovations that are not yet part of GEA’s standard range. The following list shows some of the features that can be included in customized heat pumps.
