Customizes and Optimizes Industrial Heat Management
The GEA customized open type heat pumps are tailored solutions for industries requiring precise heating and cooling management, such as food and beverage manufacturers and pharmaceutical producers. These heat pumps stand out with flexible design capabilities, addressing applications where standard ammonia heat pumps fall short. They employ natural refrigerant ammonia (R717) and feature components like medium voltage motors and multiple compressor setups for continuous capacity adjustment via optional variable-speed drives (VSD). With the ability to reach hot water supply temperatures up to +95°C / +203°F, they accommodate unique heating profiles, utilizing flooded, spray, or falling film evaporators to ensure operational efficiency. These units are ideal for applications ranging from dairy and beverage production to chemical and environmental processes, efficiently managing energy use and facilitating integration with existing systems. Constructed with options for various plate materials, they ensure corrosion resistance and compatibility with different media. GEA’s engineering support provides bespoke configuration and integration, ensuring seamless incorporation into your production line.
