Bosch introduces R32 air conditioners

UK: Bosch has launched a new range of domestic and small commercial air conditioning splits and multisplits running on lower GWP refrigerant R32.

A key feature of the new range is the introduction of refrigerant leakage detection. This is designed to ensure the safety of users and environment while protecting the compressor from being damaged by shutting down the unit and warning users in case of a leak.

Bosch RAC split range is available in four different cooling outputs: 2.6kW, 3.5kW, 5.3kW and 7kW with wall mounted indoor units. The SCAC range is available in 5.3kW, 7kW, 10.5kW 1-phase; 14kW 3-phase cooling output models and a choice of Cassette or ducted indoor units.

The multisplit range can connect two to five indoor units to one outdoor unit. It is available with wall-mount and cassette indoor units. Cooling outputs are 5.3kW, 7.9kW, 10.5 kW and 12.3kW.

The range also features follow me function which transfers the conventional room temperature measuring function from indoor unit sensor to a built-in wired or wireless controller sensor. This allows the unit to accurately maintain the temperature according to the user’s location.
