The British manufacturer claims that its new Auriga air-to-water heat pump has a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) ranging from 3.33 to 4.83 and noise levels of 43 dBA to 65 dBA. British heat pump manufacturer Baxi has introduced a new medium temperature monobloc heat pump for commercial building applications. “Baxi’s new Auriga air-to-water heat pump (ASHP) series can reach temperatures of up to 60 C with reduced global warming potential (GWP) thanks to difluoromethane (R32) refrigerant,” the company said in a statement. “Available in single power ratings of 20 kW, 26 kW, 33 kW and 40 kW, with cascade options up to 320 kW, the new Auriga series offers design flexibility for commercial buildings of all sizes.” The smallest version measures 1,276 mm x 1,612 mm x 669 mm and weighs 270 kW. It has a heating capacity of 13.06 kW and a power input of 4.1 kW. The largest product has dimensions of 1,581 mm x 1,882 mm x 683 mm and weighs 362 kg. Its heating power is 22.746 kW and its absorbed power is 8.4 kW. The heat pump has a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) ranging from 3.33 to 4.83 and noise levels of 43 dBA to 65 dBA. “The new Auriga indoor controller is designed for easy control of the cascaded ASHP system,” said the manufacturer. “The new Baxi VM-T controller can be used as an extension to increase the number of secondary zones controlled. The CHVAC Manager also allows connection to a BMS via Modbus or 0-10V for complete remote monitoring and system optimization.” Baxi is headquartered in Warwick, England, and is a subsidiary of the Dutch BDR Thermea Group. |
