Baxi unveils high-temp R290 heat pump

UK: Baxi has announced the arrival of the Auriga HP+ R290 high-temperature air-to-water monobloc heat pump range.

Capable of delivering high flow temperatures up to 80ºC, the Auriga HP+ is said to be easily integrated into existing heating systems. 

Its ability to achieve higher flow temperatures makes it equally suited to delivering low-carbon domestic hot water requirements across a range of applications, from commercial buildings to heat networks and district heating schemes.

The new Auriga HP+ offers SCOPs of up to 5.17 at W35 and 3.96 at W55. The units are manufactured with an inverter-driven scroll compressor which enables modulation down to 13%, helping to improve efficiency still further.

It is available in two models with outputs of 20kW and 30kW and higher output options of up to 240kW in cascade. 

When combined with the Baxi Commercial HVAC controller, there is the option to cascade up to eight heat generators, either eight heat pumps or a combination of Baxi heat pumps and Remeha commercial condensing boilers, in a hybrid installation. 

The Auriga HP+ can also be installed alongside the new Auriga R32 medium temperature heat pumps, providing the ultimate in design flexibility.

The CHVAC controller also enables connection to a BMS through either Modbus or 0–10V for full remote monitoring and system optimisation.

The Auriga HP+ operates at very low noise levels with a sound power as low as 63dBA and a sound pressure of 56dBA at a distance of 5m.

Designed, manufactured and tested at Baxi’s dedicated commercial heat pump facility in Vilafranca, Spain, Baxi’s new Auriga and Auriga HP+ come with full Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to help customers assess the embodied carbon of their projects.

Baxi’s Auriga and Auriga HP+ heat pumps are backed with a parts and labour warranty of up to five years when commissioned by Baxi or a Baxi-authorised engineer. Baxi offers on-site commissioning support at no extra cost on both the Auriga and Auriga HP+ range.
