GEA GRASSO REFRIGERATION PACK

• Large-scale cold storage facilities requiring precise temperature control.
• Industrial food processing plants for chilling or freezing products.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing where low-temperature environments are critical.
• Chemical processing requiring refrigeration for exothermic reactions or storage.

Typical refrigeration duty

For this class of industrial refrigeration pack, duties commonly range from 100kW to over 500kW, with this unit rated at 200kW.

Refrigerant type

Industrial units of this type frequently utilise Ammonia (R717) due to its high efficiency and low environmental impact.

Evaporating temperature

Units designed for deep freezing or ultra-low temperature applications commonly operate with evaporating temperatures down to -40°C or lower.

Compressor type

Screw compressors are typically employed in industrial refrigeration for their reliability, efficiency, and suitability for varying load conditions.

Power supply

Industrial refrigeration packs commonly require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Running hours

A used unit with less than 17,000 running hours suggests moderate prior usage for its age.

• What are the primary benefits of an Ammonia (R717) refrigeration system?

  Ammonia systems are highly energy-efficient and have zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and GWP (Global Warming Potential), making them an environmentally sound choice for industrial applications.

• Is this unit suitable for both chilling and freezing applications?

• What maintenance considerations are there for a screw compressor refrigeration pack?

• What installation requirements should I consider for a unit of this capacity?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing refrigeration system?

Industrial chillers are valued for reliable temperature control in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise units with consistent cooling capacity and minimal maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. Key considerations include compressor condition, refrigerant type compatibility, and ease of spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include energy efficiency improvements in newer models and adaptability to various production scales. Proper installation and routine servicing remain essential for long-term performance.
