Background
Modernized with GEA technology: today, the “Jupiter” carries 2,000 metric tons of freight. Its freezing capacity is 170 tons per day – 2.5 times its previous rating.
Short description of the solution
The Jupiter has a cargo capacity of 2,000 metric tons. Freezing capacity has risen by around 250 %: from originally 65 to now an average of 170 tons per day. For Jupiter this was a major milestone – but almost routine for the experienced GEA team, which has for decades been intimately familiar with this ship type (Atlantik 488).
Refrigeration systems on board of the Jupiter:
- 10 vertical plate freezers (V-32)

- 1 Grasso screw compressor unit (SK-3)
- 2 air coolers (each 45 kW)
- Valves and control units

- 2 saltwater pumps
