GEA Grasso compressor V XHP creates high temperatures for process and district heating
October 8, 2024
The GEA Grasso V XHP high-temperature reciprocating compressor delivers high performance in the field of process heat and in district heating networks. The GEA Grasso V XHP series can be used for hot water applications up to +95 °C and with a maximum design pressure of 63 bar. With a heating capacity of up to more than three megawatts, the GEA Grasso V XHP can be used in the food and beverage industry as well as in district heating networks for heating buildings. The GEA Grasso V XHP compressor can be seen at the world's leading trade fair Chillventa from October 8 to 10, 2024 in Nuremberg (Hall 7, stand number 7-512).
Ideal for applications up to +95°C and a design pressure of 63 bar. The GEA Grasso V XHP series from GEA meets industrial requirements in the food, beverage and dairy industries, in cleaning and other industrial processes, but also in district heating networks or decentralized building heating.

The GEA Grasso V XHP is available in four versions (with four, six, eight and ten cylinders) with a swept volume ranging from 376 to 941 m³/h at 1,500 rpm. The GEA Omni Control Panel lets the user benefit from the full potential of the compressor‘s sophisticated operating options. With the GEA Grasso X VHP, an internal oil pump provides the important pre-lubrication and a guaranteed continuous oil flow, thus ensuring maximum reliability under full and partial load conditions.
GEA Grasso V XHP as an important component of GEA RedGenium heat pumps
The GEA Grasso V XHP is also available for high-temperature heat pump applications, particularly for use with our GEA RedGenium heat pump.
