5 Tons

The Bosch BIVA 15 Series BIVA-60RXB-M15X air handler is rated for an output of 5 tons. In many cases, this air handler will be larger in tonnage than the condenser it is paired with to maintain the unit's overall efficiency. Please note that for this unit to provide cooling, an outdoor condenser is required for it to function. The unit can support electric heating as a straight electric furnace or as a backup for a heat pump, offered at an additional cost to be field installed.

Warranty

Bosch BIVA 15 Series offers a 10 year parts and 2 gateway connectivity components warranty on this unit. All other Bosch parts or components installed in the field have a 1 year parts warranty.

Installation and Durability

To make a more versatile unit, Bosch BIVA 15 Series designed the BIVA-60RXB-M15X to easily be installed in an upflow, downflow, or horizontal position. A TXV kit is already installed on the unit so your installer does not have to install one, decreasing installation costs. For durability, this air handler is designed with an extremely strong, one-piece, painted steel outer casing to protect the unit, and the all-aluminum coil has a lower chance of refrigerant leakage compared to standard copper coils.

OVERVIEW

The Santa Fe Ultra70 was the first compact whole house ventilating dehumidifier built for tight, low-clearance installs. It removes up to 70 pints of moisture per day and covers homes up to 1,800 square feet, which makes it a strong match for smaller houses, condos, and apartments.

Ducted into your HVAC system, the Ultra70 controls humidity everywhere at once instead of one room at a time. That means no musty basement smell, no clammy upstairs bedrooms, and no conditions that let mold and wood rot get started.

The cabinet measures 12" W x 12" H x 28" L and converts between horizontal and vertical airflow discharge, so it works in mechanical rooms, closets, attics, basements, and crawl spaces alike. Now running R454B refrigerant, it exceeds Department of Energy efficiency standards and is built at Santa Fe's headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin.

Key Features:

• 70 Pints Per Day – Whole-home moisture control for spaces up to 1,800 sq. ft.
• Optional Fresh Air Ventilation – Duct outdoor air in to dilute indoor pollutants
• MERV-13 Filtration – Standard filter captures fine airborne particles
• Convertible Discharge – Rotate the panel for horizontal or vertical airflow
• Compact 12" x 12" x 28" Cabinet – Fits where standard units can't
• R454B Refrigerant – Exceeds DOE efficiency standards
• 115V / 5.4 Amps – Plugs into a standard grounded outlet
• Made in Madison, Wisconsin – Heavy-duty steel construction

Customized Installation and Operation

The Ultra70 gives you three ways to install it. Tie it into your existing HVAC system with a dedicated 8" return and a supply connection with backdraft damper. Run it on its own separate ductwork. Or set it freestanding in a basement or crawl space when ducting isn't practical.

Both the return air inlet and supply air outlet use 8" duct collars. The back panel comes configured for horizontal flow through and rotates for vertical flow through with a T20 torx bit, which is what lets the same unit work in an attic, a closet, or under a floor.

Fresh air ventilation is optional and simple to add. A "T" into the inlet duct brings outdoor air into the system to dilute pollutants and maintain normal oxygen levels indoors, and the volume is adjustable with a range of dampers and controls.

• HVAC Integration – Dedicated return plus ducted supply to the air handler
• Dedicated Ducting – Runs on its own duct system independent of HVAC
• Freestanding Operation – Works standalone in basements and crawl spaces
• Optional Outdoor Air – Ventilation duct T's into the inlet, regulated by dampers and controls
• Continuous Drain – Gravity drainage, no manual emptying
