Beside to the well-known zone 1 compressors, GEA Bock now also offers compressors which are compliant with the ATEX category 3 (zone 2). These compressors are available on request with an offshore coating,e.g. for use on oil rigs.

Start-up for the new zone 2 compressors are the 6- and 8-cylinder compressors (EX-HG7+8 3G).

The compressors are listed under:

New ATEX-Compressors: EX -HG7+8 3G (+HC)


Features EX -HG7+8 3G (+HC)


• Two new sizes of open type compressor units FDK:

• FDK(X)18/2735

• FDK(X)18/3235

• FDK18-compressor units consist of a F(X)18-compressor with shaft coupling for direct drive mounted on a robust profile base frame.

• Optionally IEC standard motors of type IMB3 are offered as drive motors.

• The compressor design is very compact and robust.

• Reliable mechanism lubrication is guaranteed by means of an oil pump which is independent of rotating direction, as well as a large-volume oil sump.

• Colour: blue (RAL 5000)

New type size in FDK-series : FDK18


• New model range SFD (open type compressor units with clutch bell) :

• SFD(X)18/2735

• SFD(X)18/3235

• SFD18-compressor units consist of a F(X)18-compressor with shaft coupling and clutch bell for direct drive mounted on a robust profile base frame.

• Optionally IEC standard motors of type IMB5 are offered as drive motors.

• The compressor design is very compact and robust.

• Reliable mechanism lubrication is guaranteed by means of an oil pump which is independent of rotating direction, as well as a large-volume oil sump.

• Colour: blue (RAL 5000)

New model range: SFD18


• Capacity data and limits of application with the natural refrigerant of the hydrocarbons (R290, R1270) have been updated:

• Extension of applications limits regarding lower evaporation temperatures.

• Consideration of a partly necessary minimum superheat of 20K.

Update HC -capacity data


• To select a compressor for a heat pump application the heat capacity is a relevant selection parameter (as the refrigeration capacity when the application is refrigeration and air conditioning).

• Via the new field Application you can select whether the compressor capacity data is calculated according to its refrigeration capacity (default setting) or heat capacity.

• The field Application can be found in Search for Capacity/Type and directly with the compressor, respectively :

Heat pump application

• In addition to the standard motors (400V, 50Hz) the semi-hermetic compressors can be ordered with motors for special power supplies. Now, the electrical data of the special motors (current draw in operation point, max. current consumption, max. power consumption and starting currents) were included in the software.

• Motors for all common power supplies are considered.

• Please note that the availabilty of the special motors has still to be requested. Motors for special power supplies which are not included in the software are also on request.

Implementation of special motors


• To select a (special) motor , firstly the according power supply has to be selected.

• Afterwards a suitable motor for the adjusted power supply is suggested. The suggested motor type is the common type for the chosen compressor. Depending on compressory type and selected power supply further motor types can be chosen (e.g. D/S or PW).

Selecting a (special) motor in the software

GEA Bock Software VAP 11.1 (win) - New in this versi on11


• For the selected (special) motor …

… the current draw at the adjusted operation condition is shown:

(Special) motors / Current draw



• For the selected (special) motor …

… the electrical data are shown in the tap “Technical Data”:

(Special) motors / Electrical data



• Whether the compressor is frequency inverter operated or not can be defined via the choice box frequency converter :

• If for the chosen compressor an EFC (on-top mounted frequency converter) is offered (e.g. HG12P-34e) then EFC is pre-selected as frequency inverter type. Alternatively Other as frequency inverter (external frequency inverter, third-party product) is selectable.

• There is no distinction in calculation when EFC or Other is selected as frequency inverter.

• When compressor is operated with frequency inverter the capacity data is calculated out of the 50Hz-data and is intended as an assistance to determine the capacity data at different frequencies. Deviations cannot be excluded.

Modifications regarding inverter operation



• When Frequency inverter is selected then…• … the caption Supply frequency will change to Compressor frequency.

The compressor frequency is than adjustable within the permissible frequency range.




• When Frequency inverter is selected then…

• … the Current draw will be faded out.Reason: Up to now there is no suitable formula to calculate the current draw with frequency inverter.

• … the minimal and maximal expected cooling capacity is shown:

Former Types

• Now old compressor/unit types can be found in the new folder Former types:


• If there is a successor model for the old compressor/unit type it can be directly selected by the link Successor:Please note that the successor type may be different from the former type in some properties (e.g. dimensions, capacity data, etc.)
