Minimal maintenance
GEA BluGenium (North America)
Featuring a sleek design and requiring minimal maintenance, the GEA BluGenium ammonia chiller delivers reliable performance and operational advantages. ASME/UL/CSA certified.
Made in the USA, primarily for the North America market.
Key features and benefits
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Extremely compact equipment size
- Cooling capacity nominal 100 – 600 TR / 350 – 2100 kW
- Chilled process fluid outlet temperature range
approximately -20° to +64°F / -29° to +18°C - Ultra-low refrigerant charge
- Seven standard model sizes
- Piston compressor w/variable speed control
- GEA Omni control panel
- Environmentally friendly refrigerant will not be phased out
- Designed for indoor, low-noise operation
Compact and low maintenance
Narrow widths of approximately 55” / 140 cm (depending on model) and the resulting small footprints allow for simple transport, as well as ease of relocation and installation in space-restricted machine rooms.
A key aspect of the BluGenium is its low maintenance requirements. This benefit is the result of the latest industrial piston compressor technology and design features such as the elimination of an oil separator. Units are safe and reliable with all-welded construction of both piping and heat exchangers.
Optional GEA BluGenium remote version is provided (with or without a pilot receiver) that can be connected to an external condenser (air-cooled or evaporative) supplied by the customer.
