Industrial chiller with high part-load efficiency

Optimize your cooling processes with a versatile chiller designed for precise temperature control and exceptional part-load efficiency, seamlessly integrating into diverse production lines without the need for frequency inverters.

The GEA Grasso FX GC and FX GCduo series are sophisticated chillers engineered by GEA, offering exceptional part-load efficiency across various industries. Featuring piston compressors with 1 or 2 units, these chillers employ a cylinder switch-off mechanism and frequency inverter for seamless capacity control between 500 and 1500 rpm. Essential for cooling, condensing, and temperature modulation, they accommodate applications including dairy pasteurization, chemical processing, and marine fuel conditioning. With a capacity range of 300 to 2,000 kW and a temperature difference of up to 50 K, these chillers support diverse end-products like milk, vaccines, and environmentally-friendly refrigerants. The units are built with high-efficiency plate heat exchangers and liquid-cooled condensers, ensuring robust integration into continuous and modular manufacturing operations. Moreover, their flexibility and modularity facilitate easy integration into existing lines, with customization options for varying manufacturing demands.
