Reciprocating Compressors

GEA Grasso V XHP

The GEA Grasso V XHP compressors, that use natural refrigerants such as ammonia, are designed to minimize their environmental impact. With the ability to reach water temperatures of up to 95°C / 203°F and offering best-in-class efficiency, they are an ideal choice for heat pump systems.

GEA Grasso V XHP
GEA Grasso V series reciprocating compressors offer the efficiency, quality and reliability needed to achieve the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO) throughout their service life. A unique, welded compressor housing minimizes thermal losses owing to outstanding suction and discharge separation. This, along with the optimized gas flow within the compressor, results in very high efficiency and extremely low oil carryover. No additional cylinder head cooling is required.
Sustainability

Sustainability

The V series is designed to use the natural refrigerant ammonia (R717) to achieve the highest efficiency. It can be used for both heating and cooling for a wide range of applications, and can achieve industry-leading hot water temperatures of  up to 95°C / 203°F.
Reliability

Reliability

The use of high-end materials and proven technology helps to ensure maximum reliability. In addition to the standard benefits of the V series compressors, features such as a unique drain system and continuous safety monitoring are integrated in the design to maximize reliability.
