GEA BluAir

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The GEA Blu series, including GEA BluAstrum, GEA BluGenium, and GEA BluAir, represents a new generation of compact ammonia chillers designed for various applications such as the food and beverage industry, process industry, and office buildings. These chillers are known for their compact design, energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability.

Specifications and Efficiency
The GEA Blu series offers 16 chiller models with a European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) of up to 9.4. The chillers are designed to reduce energy consumption by up to 30% through a low temperature approach of heat exchangers and a smaller refrigerant charge. Ammonia (R717) is used as the refrigerant, which has a global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero.

Sustainability and Reliability
The use of ammonia as a refrigerant ensures no greenhouse effects or harm to the ozone layer, making it a future-oriented solution. The chillers are designed for low maintenance, with features such as low vibration and noise emission levels, fully welded plate heat exchangers, and 3D-formed tube connections to minimize leak risks.

Product Lines
  • GEA BluAstrum: Offers compact and low-maintenance solutions with cooling capacities ranging from 390 to 1,730 kW. It features screw compressors and is available in a remote version without a condenser.
  • GEA BluGenium: Known for excellent part-load efficiency with ESEER above 9. It offers cooling capacities from 280 to 1,210 kW and features piston compressors.
  • GEA BluAir: Designed for outdoor installations with cooling capacities from 370 to 1,270 kW. It features screw compressors and is available with air-cooled or water-cooled condensers.

Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical data for each model, including cooling capacity, EER, refrigerant charge, sound pressure, dimensions, and weight.

Conclusion
The GEA Blu series chillers are designed to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability, surpassing the minimum standards set by the Ecodesign Directive. They offer reliable and efficient solutions for various industrial and commercial applications.
