Industrial chiller for sustainable refrigeration
Ensure efficient and eco-friendly temperature regulation across diverse applications with this advanced chiller, utilizing ammonia as a natural refrigerant for stringent compliance with environmental standards, while offering versatile configurations to meet varying cooling demands in industrial and commercial settings.
The GEA BluX series from GEA is a line of ammonia refrigeration chillers engineered for high efficiency and reliability in industrial and commercial settings. These chillers utilize the eco-friendly refrigerant ammonia (R717), which is compliant with F-gas regulations and reduces environmental impact. Ideal for diverse applications such as air conditioning in commercial, residential, and public buildings, and refrigeration in industries like food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals, they ensure precise temperature management for products ranging from frozen pastries to chilled pharmaceuticals.
Available options include the GEA BluX 350 and 400 models, featuring cooling capacities up to 755 kW and small refrigerant charges between 40–50 g/kW, enhancing safety and efficiency. The BluX Duo version, equipped with GEA CompaX compressors, provides increased flexibility, optimal for peak and part-load operations. Integration into existing systems is seamless, facilitated by GEA RT Select, a configuration program that matches equipment to specific plant needs.
Designed robustly with a sophisticated design to minimize gas emission risks, these chillers are well-suited to continuous, high-speed operations. Their construction offers options for stainless steel variants, ensuring long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The GEA BluX series supports sustainable refrigeration, offering low energy consumption through state-of-the-art motor optimization, making them a future-proof choice for climate-conscious businesses.
