NEW: Expanded range of semi-hermetic GEA Bock compressors for hydrocarbons

By Clémence Girard-Reydet, May 07, 2012, 10:35 1 minute reading

Based on their current semi-hermetic compressor product range, GEA Refrigeration Technologies offers a low-cost compressor variant especially for the use with hydrocarbons propane, propylene and isobutene. Launched for the first time at the Mostra Convegno show in March 2010, the offering has since then been expanded to cover a wider displacement range, namely from 5.40 m3/h to 279.80 m3/h.

The HG (Hermetic Gas-cooled) range of semi-hermetic GEA Bock compressors offers traditional suction gas-cooled state of the art compressor technology. These compressors of the highest quality standard excel in their running comfort, easy maintenance, efficiency and reliability.

Special feature of semi-hermetic compressors for hydrocarbons

For various applications, such as the field of supermarket refrigeration, hydrocarbons are an established natural refrigerant besides CO2. In that light, GEA Refrigeration Technologies now offers with its GEA Bock HC compressors a low-cost compressor variant especially for the use with hydrocarbons that is based on their semi-hermetic compressor product range.

Due to the flammability of hydrocarbons the compressor has some safety related modifications.

Compressors in HC-design have the following special features:
  • Heat protection thermostat as standard
  • Oil sump heater as standard
  • Special oil charge
  • Motor protection MP10 for installation in the switch cabinet

Expanded displacement range


Previously available for displacements between 18.80 to 56.60 m3/h, GEA Refrigeration Technologies has expanded its offering of hydrocarbon semi-hermetic GEA Bock compressors to cover displacements between 5.40 m3/h and 279.80 m3/h.

For detailed information of each model, please go to the GEA Bock HC compressor brochure

Additionally, ATEX compressors for explosion-risk environments are available that can be operated with hydrocarbons as well. You can find more information on these compressors in the GEA Bock ATEX brochure (http://www.bock.de/Data/DocumentationFiles/96227_Bock_ATEX_Compressor_Gb.pdf).
