Should local commercial properties be required to adopt low-carbon heating systems?
Baxi has introduced its Auriga HP+ commercial air source heat pump series, a new platform designed for heating, cooling, and hot water generation. The system aims to provide energy savings and reduced environmental impact for commercial applications.
Why it matters
The introduction of this series allows commercial properties to integrate climate control and hot water needs into a single, environmentally conscious platform. By utilizing R290 propane refrigerant, the system prioritizes sustainability without sacrificing thermal performance.
The Auriga HP+ series supports capacities from 50kW to 170kW, while the ES model operates between 55kW and 170kW. Units utilize R290 refrigerant with a global warming potential of 3 and generate water temperatures up to 70°C.
The players
Baxi
Baxi is a manufacturer of heating and hot water solutions that primarily serves the UK and Irish markets.
The details
The new range operates effectively in outdoor temperatures ranging from -20°C to +42°C, with the ES model featuring EC inverter axial fans for optimized airflow. Designed for quieter operation, the units achieve a noise reduction of 8dB(A) compared to prior configurations.
