Bosch Home Comfort has presented two new series of heat pumps that can be used for both renovation and new construction. Both products have sizes from ½ to 6 tons and a coefficient of performance of up to 4.9.
Bosch Home Comfort Group, part of German industrial conglomerate Robert Bosch GmbH, has launched new water source heat pumps intended for use in both new construction and renovation projects.
“What we have solved with our Bosch CL and RL series heat pumps is the need for an HVAC unit design that combines high quality and efficiency with accessibility,” the company said in a statement. “These products will not only make the jobs of technicians and installers more seamless, but they will also provide them with a deeper product portfolio to meet the needs and wants of their customers.”
The company said both products are available with both a vertical and horizontal cabinet, use R-454B as the refrigerant, and rely on freeze protection for water coils and air coils.
The CL series has sizes from ½ to 6 tons. The number of tons of the heat pump does not refer to the weight, but to the tons of heat that a house needs. Dimensions range from 48.3 cm x 48.3 cm x 58.4 cm to 61.0 cm x 83.8 cm x 147.3 cm. The coefficient of performance ranges from 4.45 to 4.90 depending on size.
The CL series also features a swiveling electrical cabinet, an extendable fan on the vertical units and special compartments for high and low voltage components. “Together, these features not only improve safety conditions for technicians and installers, but also streamline routine maintenance and repairs by providing greater accessibility to the compressor, air coils and other internal components of the unit,” the manufacturer said.
As for the RL series, Bosch said its size and COP are the same as the CL series. “Like the commercial model, the Bosch RL Series is equipped with a swiveling and split electrical box for faster and safer maintenance, as well as an extendable fan on the vertical units,” the company added.
This series also features permanent split capacitor motors (PSC) and a unit protection module (UPM) that can be connected directly together
with thermostats to provide time delays and protect the unit from freezing.
The two products come with a one-year limited warranty on parts and a five-year limited warranty on the compressor.
