Bosch Commercial and Industrial
Climate 5000 VRF – Air conditioning heat pump
and heat recovery VRF systems

2 | VRF air conditioning heat pumps

Build the
complete solution
Discover new opportunities: Bosch is now
offering not only heating and hot water, but also
VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems for
efficient air conditioning in commercial buildings.
As part of the VRF range we will also introduce a
heat recovery ventilation unit which can be easily
integrated with the VRF system. This opens up
attractive prospects for you and even greater
benefits from the expertise of Bosch.
Ideal room climate at the touch of a button
Thanks to variable refrigerant flow technology,
the new Bosch VRF air conditioning systems are
convenient and save valuable energy at the same
time. They adapt their performance to current
demand and therefore also work with outstanding
efficiency under partial load. The systems consist
of outdoor units and several inside units and can
be utilised for both cooling and heating. These new
solutions from Bosch therefore play a decisive role
in ensuring that people in all areas of large buildings
enjoy a comfortable climate, independent of the
seasons of the year.

 Night silent operation mode

Simultaneous heating and cooling
Simultaneous heating and cooling is achieved by the
new SBOX unit, which controls the solenoid valve to
ensure precise control of refrigerant flow rate. Both
indoor and outdoor units are connected to the SBOX.
RDCI systems can be set to ‘auto mode’ control,
whereby the indoor unit can change the operation
mode, switching between heating and cooling as
required, to maintain a constant indoor temperature.

 Continuous heating during defrost operation.

New design SBOX
The RDCI Series features a uniquely designed SBOX Switch Box for connection of multiple indoor
units. The new SBOX is lighter and more compact than other brands, with lower noise levels compared
to 4-way valve switching.

The system offers high energy efficiency by extracting
heat from the rooms which are to be cooled and
effectively using it as a heat source for the rooms
which require heating.
Models are available with 1, 2, 4 and 6 ports and branch
piping can be connected to each port.

Key features
	Zoned control of multiple indoor units from
each SBOX
 Comprehensive range of options
 Internal solenoid valves
 Improved sub-cooling circuit through built-in EEVs
 Low noise
 Height of just 225mm.

Bus-type connection is available for to up to 24 indoor
units (6-port version). Indoor units are controlled in
groups (maximum 4 per group), with each group/zone
able to operate in a different mode to other groups
connected to the same SBOX.
