Baxi launches high-output Auriga HP+ heat pumps offering heating, cooling and hot water
Baxi has strengthened its commercial low-carbon heating portfolio with the launch of new higher-output Auriga HP+ reversible air source heat pumps, designed to support heating, cooling and domestic hot water generation from a single platform.
Baxi’s new expanded Auriga HP+ range is available in two versions: The Auriga HP+ high-output model provides high performance across the full 50kW to 170kW capacity range, making it perfect for applications where high standards of comfort and control are required, the firm says.
The Auriga HP+ ES (55kW to 170 kW outputs) adds EC inverter axial fans that deliver high airflow at reduced speeds, enhancing performance and reducing sound levels by 8 dB(A). This makes it particularly well-suited to noise-sensitive environments where acoustic performance is a key consideration. Both models provide reliable, energy-efficient comfort management for a wide range of commercial applications from new build to retrofit.
A key benefit of the new heat pumps, Baxi says, is that they are highly configurable with a wide choice of factory-fitted options that can support different design requirements and site conditions. This enables consultants, contractors and building operators to define a solution that is built around the needs of the building, rather than adapting the building to the limitations of the equipment.
At the heart of the range is a focus on energy saving and lower environmental impact. Designed to deliver year-round comfort and system resilience, the Auriga HP+ models use R290 (propane), a natural refrigerant with a very low GWP (global warming potential) of just 3. The ErP SCOP-compliant heat pumps deliver hot water at temperatures up to 70°C while maintaining high performance and excellent energy efficiency, Baxi notes. They are designed to operate in heating mode from outdoor air temperatures as low as -20°C in winter and up to +42°C in summer.
Key benefits of the new Auriga HP+ range at a glance:
- All-in-one heating, cooling and domestic hot water capability – simple and reliable comfort management for all seasons
- Configurable factory-fitted options and higher outputs (50-170kW) – greater design flexibility
- High efficiency – supports lower running costs
- R290 natural refrigerant with very low GWP – environmental benefits
- A high-efficiency ES version with EC inverter fans – reduced noise levels
Shane Suter, Commercial Business Director at Baxi, said:
