High-speed reciprocating compressor
In industrial refrigeration systems, meeting high capacity requirements can often necessitate multiple compressors or larger, more costly units. This can lead to higher initial investments and more extensive maintenance efforts.

Increase refrigeration capacity efficiently
The GEA Grasso V HS is a high-speed reciprocating compressor designed to increase refrigeration capacity while reducing investment costs. By operating at speeds up to 1,500 rpm, it delivers up to 25% more capacity using the same model, which translates to a lower relative cost in kilowatts per euro. This makes it possible to meet specific capacity demands with smaller compressors, ultimately lowering both upfront investment and ongoing service expenses. Additionally, its use of the natural refrigerant NH₃ (ammonia) ensures zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an environmentally friendly choice. GEA’s RT Select program further aids in selecting the appropriate equipment for specific refrigeration and heating plant needs.
