Operating limits Conversion factor for 60 Hz = 1.2

Compressor operation is possible within the limits shown on the Performance data for other operating points, see GEA VAP software
application diagrams. Please note the colored areas. Compressor (vap.gea.com).
application limits should not be chosen for design purposes or
continuous operation. ASERCOM certified performance data

Performance data
The performance data for R134a are based on European Standard
EN 12900 50 Hz power supply frequency.
This signifies: 20 °C suction gas temperature without liquid subcooling.
This results in significant differences compared to specifications with
liquid undercooling and/or suction-gas temperatures.
A comprehensive modification to 20 °C suction gas temperature will
follow at a later date.
For compressors with this label, the performance data are certified
according to the strict requirements of ASERCOM.
ASERCOM is the Association of European Refrigeration Compressors
and Controls Manufacturers.
Information about the Association and the constantly updated
overview of certified GEA compressors can be found at
www.asercom.org and www.gea.com.
