GEA Grasso compressor V XHP creates high temperatures for process and district heating

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).

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.
