British heat pump manufacturer Baxi has unveiled a new medium temperature monobloc heat pump for commercial building applications.
“Baxi’s new air-to-water Auriga Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) series can reach temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius with a lower global warming potential (GWP) thanks to the refrigerant difluoromethane (R32),” the company said in a statement. “Available in individual power ratings of 20 kW, 26 kW, 33 kW and 40 kW, with cascade options up to 320 kW, the new Auriga range offers design flexibility for commercial buildings of all sizes.”
The smallest version measures 1,276 mm x 1,612 mm x 669 mm and has a weight of 270 kW. It has a heating power of 13.06 kW and a power consumption of 4.1 kW.
The largest product measures 1,581 mm x 1,882 mm x 683 mm and weighs 362 kg. The heating power of 22,746 kW and the power consumption of 8.4 kW.
The heat pump has a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) ranging from 3.33 to 4.83 and a noise level from 43 dBA to 65 dBA.
“The new Auriga indoor controller is designed for simple ASHP cascade system control,” said the manufacturer. “The new Baxi VM-T controller can be used as an extension to increase the number of controlled secondary zones. The CHVAC Manager also enables connection to a BMS via Modbus or 0-10V for full remote monitoring and system optimization.”
Baxi is based in Warwick, England, and is a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based BDR Thermea Group.
