At this year's Chillventa, which takes place in Nuremberg, Germany, from 11 to 13 October, GEA (hall 7.0, booth 7-512) will present product solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our time. These include products that help, for example, to reduce carbon emissions, achieve greater energy efficiency and ultimately also lead to lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

For the first time, the GEA Division will appear under its new name GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies. Product launches will therefore be presented not only in the refrigeration sector but also in the heating sector. Among others, the following will be presented

• a screw compressor specially designed for heat pumps and their requirements,

• a new semi-hermetic compressor that increases safety and is available together with the GEA BluX ammonia chiller or as a Grasso X package,

• a monitoring and control system that allows compressors to be monitored from anywhere and requires little space and

• the enhanced GEA RedGenium heat pump, which can be viewed using augmented reality.

A project by HRT's digitization team invites trade show visitors to share their thoughts on digitization trends. Topics here include potential for improvement and growth in processes, products and business models, digitization of production technology and in processes, and data collection and analysis. This exchange of views in personal contact provides trade fair visitors and GEA with valuable insights into experiences with products and systems as well as customer requirements and wishes.
