Duesseldorf (Germany), December 9, 2025 – GEA presented the GEA Grasso L XHP screw compressor at HeatExpo in Dortmund (November 25 to 27). The L XHP is ideal for ammonia heat pumps and high-pressure applications. Based on proven GEA Grasso screw compressor technology, which has been continuously developed and improved over the last 50 years, the L XHP with its optimized design is suitable for a wide range of applications. The compressor series comprises three sizes with a swept volume of 1,990 to 2,748 m³/h at 2,940 rpm. The machines can be operated at up to 3,600 rpm. This results in a heating capacity range of 2 to 11 MW per compressor.
