WATERTOWN, Mass. — Bosch Home Comfort has unveiled an R-454B version of its Bosch Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump in compliance with low-GWP refrigerant requirements.
This latest model will leverage low-GWP R-454B refrigerant while continuing to offer simple and seamless installation, a press release from Bosch said.
Designed for easy installation without the need for ductwork, Bosch mini-splits offers efficient heating and cooling with whisper-quiet operation, the press release said. These systems also include a factory-installed A2L sensor on the evaporator coil that’s connected to the indoor unit’s control base. The condenser can power up to six indoor air handlers to offer a multi-zone, whole-home solution.
In addition, the Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Splits series also features infrared technology known as the Intelligent Eye, used to sense when people are inside the room to offer automated temperature control. If a room is empty, Intelligent Eye will automatically ease off the compressor speed in an effort to conserve energy and improve humidity control, the press release said.
“Our goal with every product launch is to make our newest offering even better than the last, and the Bosch 5000 Climate Ductless Mini-Splits (series) is a testament to this commitment,” said Jean Carlo Contreras Gallo, product manager. “The Climate 5000 Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump Series is a technician’s dream with its easy installation and versatility, while offering customers the enhanced level of comfort they have come to know and enjoy from Bosch Home Comfort.”
Additional features and specifications, according to the press release, include a compact design; electrical, refrigerant, and condensate lines that connect outdoor and indoor units via a 3-inch diameter hole; a 10-year compressor warranty; and a 10-year parts residential warranty with product registration.
