A sneak peek at the Condens 7000 F & FP

The new, versatile floor-standing boiler range ser ies from Bosch Commercial & Industr ial is designed to r un on both natural gas and LPG with all outputs able to r un on a 20% hydrogen blend benefitting local author ities by decreasing emissions

An exciting addition to the Bosch Commercial & Industrial is the latest addition to its commercial boiler series, the floor-standing Condens 7000 F & FP Built to replace the popular Worcester Bosch GB162 V2, the Condens 7000 F & FP features a new design developed with simplicity in mind For local authorities responsible for largescale projects, they will be happy to hear that the installation time can be reduced by up to 60% 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, ideal for local authorities, as it is versatile by design

Thanks to an output range from 75kW to 1MW, the premium quality boilers can be easily cascaded to meet higher outputs thanks to the ability to combine 16 boilers while using a Bosch 8313 control This means the range can reach up to an outstanding 8MW output, making it perfect 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 easy and convenient to control remotely using your Smartphone or tablet with EasyRemote or HomeCom from Bosch Wider benefits and features of the Condens

7000 F & FP include: l Removable side panels and directly accessible components allow for quick servicing l Simple integration in a variety of heating systems l Intelligent Control 8000 providing easy operation l Ability to effortlessly change the fuel type from natural gas to liquid gas (and vice versa)

Removing the complexity

Simon Tarr, National Projects Director at Bosch Commercial & Industrial, comments:

“Our new range has been developed with

Installer Viewpoint

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 manufacturers 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 minutes on their first attempt! The installation is very intuitive and shows a real evolution to cascade frames

“Finally, we ’ ve created an online precommissioning checklist where installers can now book commissioning directly through us, ultimately streamlining the process We hope that all these timesaving 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!”

Paul Hull from The Commercial Group was one of the first installers to get hands-on with the Condens 7000F, here is what he had to say

What were your first impressions on the product?

I really liked the product, it is an easy design, comes together really quickly and the install time is cut down by 60%

What do you think Bosch have improved since the GB162?

Have you had any feedback from your customers?

We’ve installed two in a care home in Surrey, and the first piece of feedback we had was about how quiet the boilers were, in comparison to her old wall mounted boiler Additionally, the client was really impressed with the colour screen and the colours of the boilers, thinking the boiler looked really smart

What in your opinion is the best part about the product?

There are several great things about the boiler, but the easy fluing options now with the plume kit is a great plus, which allows us to get the boilers into different areas. The easy use screen is absolutely brilliant in addition to the design as well, and the higher outputs of the boiler functioning from 50kW to 145kW is a great option on such a small footprint

What advice would you give installers who are considering light commercial/commercial installations?
