Baxi's Auriga HP: efficient and quiet for medium-large buildings in acoustically sensitive urban settings

Air conditioning in medium- to large-scale buildings located in urban centers requires solutions that combine thermal power, consistent operation, compliance with acoustic constraints, and ease of installation. Structures such as hotels, residences, multi-story apartment buildings, or office complexes present complex requirements, exacerbated by limited technical space and proximity to residential buildings.

Auriga HP , the monobloc inverter air-to-water heat pump from Baxi, is designed to respond to this delicate balance, offering high performance up to 50 kW and surprisingly discreet operation.

The new challenges of urban air conditioning: high power and stringent acoustic constraints

In multi-user buildings located in densely populated areas, heat generation must combine efficiency, continuity, and comfort. Designers are faced with significant power requirements, constant fluctuations in demand, and increasingly stringent acoustic constraints imposed by regulations and by the occupants themselves.

In this scenario, the choice of generator becomes strategic: it is not enough to guarantee thermal performance, it is necessary to ensure stable and silent operation, often with small dimensions and short installation times.

Continuity of service and reliable performance even in the harshest climates

Auriga HP integrates full inverter technology that allows the unit to precisely modulate its power based on the building's needs. This translates into stable performance even in severe climate conditions: the DC scroll compressor operates in heating mode down to -20°C , maintaining high efficiency thanks to continuous modulation and the reduction of ON/OFF cycles.

The ability to reach temperatures up to 60°C allows the unit to be used even in systems requiring medium-high temperatures, typical of buildings with fan coils, AHUs, or centralized DHW systems. During peak periods, power outputs of up to 50 kW allow for uninterrupted service even in highly occupied facilities.

Modulated ventilation and acoustic design: the answer to the needs of residential areas

Sound pressure is one of the most critical factors in urban installations. Auriga HP addresses this problem by adopting variable-speed EC fans, capable of automatically modulating air flow based on actual thermal needs.

Added to this is the heat exchange surface design, which reduces turbulence and vibration, helping to keep noise levels low even during the most intense cycles. This combination allows the machine to operate in internal courtyards, shared areas, or on technical terraces with maximum acoustic discretion.

Complex installations made simple: the advantage of the monoblock design

The monoblock structure of the Auriga HP series facilitates construction site management and minimizes system complexity, a crucial aspect when working on existing buildings or in limited technical spaces.

Whether it's a condominium roof with closely spaced parapets, a hotel terrace, or a hard-to-reach outdoor space, the combination of compact dimensions, modulated ventilation, and integrated hydronic circuitry allows for quick and space-saving installation. In urban settings, this also means reduced interference with neighboring homes and simplified permit requirements.

Constant thermal comfort thanks to intelligent management of variable loads

Medium-large buildings are characterised by extremely dynamic thermal loads : variations in occupancy, peaks in DHW demand, differences between time slots and the need to maintain stable temperatures in different rooms.

Auriga HP manages this complexity thanks to its advanced control, capable of continuously modulating power and quickly adapting to load variations. The result is consistent thermal comfort and reduced consumption, with tangible benefits for facilities operating 24/7.

A strategic solution for hotels, offices and urban residences

Auriga HP represents a technology capable of meeting the needs of medium to large buildings located in urban centers, offering a balance of performance, silence, and ease of integration. The unit guarantees:

• Stable power even in cold climates, silent operation and optimised installation in small spaces, with modulating management capable of intelligently following the variable loads of multi-user buildings.

For designers, installers, and system managers, this means being able to count on a complete, reliable solution that can be easily integrated into the energy transition of contemporary urban buildings.
