GEA Bock SHG44e/-L air-cooled condensing units with proven reliability and optimized efficiency

In 2014 GEA introduced the new and more efficient semi-hermetic compressor range GEA Bock HG44e to the market  to replace the HG4 range and offers key advantages over the previous range: the 4-cylinder compressor combines the well-tried reliability and running smoothness of the preceding model HG4 with new and enhanced efficiency!

The advantages of the HG44e range have now been transferred to the air-cooled condensing units: the new range of the GEA Bock SHG44e/-L was launched in April 2015. The SHG44e/-L range with four model sizes covers the range of maximum displacements from 41.3 to 67.0 m³/h.

Compared to its predecessor, the GEA Bock SHG44e series now has four instead of three model sizes. The customer benefits from a more compact and efficient compressor for its application and customer specific needs can be addressed more efficiently.

In addition, the largest version, the SHG44e/770-4 compressor, offers almost 20 % more displacement with its 67.0 m³/h than the largest SHG4 model and replaces the smallest model size of the former SHG5 range with 62.9 m³/h.

To continue to offer its customers a maximum of quality, reliability, flexibility, and supplier dependability, GEA has invested in a new assembly line at its location in Frickenhausen (Germany). Beginning now, this plant will manufacture GEA Bock FK vehicle compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning: compressors of the FK30, FK40, and FK50 series. Production takes place according to the principle of line assembly.

These open type piston compressors represent the core component of many air conditioning systems used by prominent bus manufacturers. In addition, these compressors – with 2, 4, or 6 cylinders – are extensively used for rail air conditioning and transport refrigeration of goods.

The benefits of the new GEA Bock assembly line result from an automated fault prevention system as well as from close linking of the assembly processes with the respective customer requirements. The orders are scanned with barcode, which provides our assembly line colleagues with all required order-related drawings and details on a monitor during compressor assembly. This assures better linking of special customer requirements (for shut-off valves, to take one example) with the flow of equipment being assembled – and enables immediate detection of any anomalies during assembly.

Testing of the compressors is especially matched to the respective product type and to specific customer requirements. All compressors undergo helium tests for tightness and general functional tests. A special test stand assures reliable and efficient analysis of all functions and parameters. This guarantees the customer a maximum of safety and reliability for all functions and performance data.

The assembly processes run according to standardized procedures that enable more flexible reactions in handling large order input – with resulting increase in production volume. Production of the compressors takes place at consecutive assembly stations. At each station, the assembly worker has exactly the materials and the special tools that he needs for that step in the assembly line process.

Steffen Schmid, responsible for planning and management of the FK assembly line: “As a result of our innovation, we have succeeded in eliminating waste in our process. Predictive recognition of faults is now possible. We can now take positive action to prevent defects and to further enhance our very high quality standards. There is clear separation between assembly and logistics. We consider value-adding activities entirely apart from non-value-adding activities, and we avoid mixing the orders.”

As a result of restructuring of in-house procedures and processes, GEA can now not only enhance its quality in production of FK compressors, but can also better satisfy customers’ needs and specifications.

With its GEA Bock HG44e compressor range, GEA Technologies introduces new, more efficient semi-hermetic compressors to the market – models that replace its HG4 range. Experience from more than 20 years of production of semi-hermetic compressors has gone into this development.

In addition to their uses in the field of refrigeration and air-conditioning, the new 4-cylinder compressors are ideally suited for refrigeration in supermarkets. They offer improved efficiency over their predecessors, greater displacement, more compact structural design, and a new configuration of connections.

These connections match the gas connections normally found in the sector, to ensure that no adaptation work is necessary when the user invests in a replacement compressor. The foot mountings of the new compressor likewise conform to sector standards.

In the 4-cylinder HG44e range, four model sizes cover the area of maximum displacement from 41.3 m³/h to 67.0 m³/h. These output ranges enable optimal meeting of performance requirements. These new compressors are available from April of 2014.

The new range profits from a new and advanced valve plate system, electrical motors from the latest generation, and enhanced gas flow – which increase efficiency and lower energy consumption. In comparison to its predecessors, the GEA Bock HG44e range includes four instead of three model sizes.

In addition, the largest version, the HG44e/770-4 compressor, offers with its 67 m³/h, almost 20 % more displacement than the largest HG4 model. As a result, this compressor range demonstrates the greatest power density in the sector.

The GEA Bock oil-pump design, proven over many years, further assures reliable lubrication of all moving parts. The new models furthermore demonstrate excellent service friendliness – for example, simple exchange of the drive motor, as before.

With its new GEA Bock HG44e compressors, GEA Technologies sets new standards in efficiency and performance.

With mexxFlow valve technology by GEA Technologies

New generation of the biggest GEA Bock compressors with more refrigerating capacity, less drive power – in addition to a displacement of up to 280 m³/h – the new Bock compressor models HG7e and HG88e offer maximum efficiency and easy handling for chillers and performance-intensive refrigeration applications.

The revised versions of the GEA Bock 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder compressors, which had been established ten years ago, achieve new records in terms of efficiency due to the use of the GEA Bock mexxFlow valve system.

Especially in applications like chillers, semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors offer further attractive benefits in comparison to screw compressors:

• lower oil throw
• easy capacity control  via shutdown of the cylinder bench
• no high-frequency operating noises
• easy motor change in the case of service
• Bock 6 and 8 Cylinder Compressors

GEA Refrigeration Technologies achieves an advance in efficiency of the models HG7e and HG88e in comparison to its predecessors due to the use of the mexxFlow valve system. The mexxFlow system makes it possible to minimize pressure losses thanks to a flow-optimized double ring fin construction of the valve plate in combination with a cylinder head, which is specially adapted to the valve plate. Thus, the efficiency of the compressors can be increased considerably.
