A new floor-standing boiler range has been introduced by Bosch Commercial & Industrial, designed for the installer and centred on speed and efficiency.
Built to replace the Worcester Bosch GB162 V2, the Condens 7000 F & FP features a new design developed with simplicity in mind. The company believes installers can expect to save up to 60% on average installation times when fitting the new range when compared to the GB162 V2.
The new narrow frame is built for easier access and includes a transport roller accessory for ease of mobility, particularly for rooms where space is limited. This is thanks to a new frame kit design, simple install steps with minimal tools required and an easily accessible PCB.
The range is available as either a single boiler or a cascade pack, which suits a wide variety of system outputs and hydraulic requirements.
Thanks to an output range from 75kW to 1MW, the boilers can be cascaded to meet higher outputs with the ability to combine 16 boilers while using a Bosch 8313 control. This means the range can reach up to 8MW output for large commercial applications.
The Condens 7000 F & FP can be fuelled on both natural gas and LPG with all outputs able to run on a 20% hydrogen blend. This model has an integrated Internet interface, making it convenient to control remotely using a smartphone or tablet with EasyRemote or HomeCom from Bosch.
Less complexity
Simon Tarr, National Projects Director at Bosch Commercial & Industrial, commented: “Our new range has been developed with installer’s time in mind.
“We have taken the complexity away from each step of the product journey. When specifying, each pack contains all the base components required, sitting under one part number. This enables installers to easily receive a quotation from their local Merchants.
“Whether you are specifying with Bosch in mind, or if you are looking for multiple quotes from different manufactures to work out the best value for the job, we have made this process simple. Packs are available as either as a single pack, or cascades of multiple boilers with various hydraulic options.
“When it comes to installing, and while obtaining customer feedback during our research and development phase, we saw an installer on average assembling a two-boiler cascade in less than 20 mins on their first attempt. The installation is very intuitive and shows a real evolution to cascade frames.
“Finally, we’ve created an online pre-commissioning checklist where installers can now book commissioning directly through us, ultimately streamlining the process.
“We hope that all these time-saving measures add up to give installers and contractors more time to focus on either additional jobs, wider business admin or just free time to enjoy.”
