Applications Manual

2 Introduction

This Applications Manual is intended to present some of

the most common applications of Bosch geothermal heat

pumps for residential applications. Application drawings

are shown with system application schematics where

applicable. Auxiliary equipment depicted represents Bosch

equipment where applicable. There are a wide variety

of techniques, practices and strategies possible when

installing geothermal heat pumps. It is the responsibility of

the installing contractor to determine the best solution for

the particular geothermal heat pump system application.

Bosch geothermal heat pumps, if properly designed and

installed, are one of the most efcient forms of space

heating, as well as space cooling and water heating

available today. In this applications manual, we will provide

a complete review of geothermal heat pump technology,

components and operation, as well as guidance on the

design and installation of ground heat exchangers and

Bosch geothermal heat pump systems for domestic use

(residential). This manual is focused on both contractors

and designers. It provides detailed guidance, focused on

the issues to be considered when selecting systems and

components and estimating system performance.

Although this manual covers many common applications

for our Bosch geothermal heat pumps, system possibilities

are numerous and varied. Should you encounter an

application that is not covered in this manual or have any

questions regarding any of its content, we encourage you

to contact your local sales representative or us directly at

Bosch Thermotechnology Corp.

This Applications Manual is not a substitute for

any of the Bosch geothermal heat pump Installation

3 Residential Bosch Geothermal

Pump System Applications

The application of Bosch geothermal heat pump systems is

increasing rapidly in the residential sector. These systems

offer exceptional efciency because they use the relatively

constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool. Heat

removed from a residential structure during summer

months is collected and then rejected to the earth, then

stored for retrieval during the winter months. As the

earth's ground temperature is typically more moderate

than the outdoor air temperature, the annual energy

efciency is improved. In addition, the stored heat in the

earth can then be absorbed during winter months when

heating is required, and then used to heat the home. As

this heat comes from the ground, it can result in enhanced

savings in fossil fuel consumption and provide a reduction

in the emission of greenhouse gases, as well as other

pollutants.

Today, geothermal heat pump systems are referred to by

several different names. These include geothermal, earth-

coupled, geoexchange, groundwater, ground-coupled,

closed-loop, open-loop, and water-source heat pump

systems, just to mention a few. All geothermal heat pump

systems are an environmentally sound energy alternative.

And, geothermal heat pump systems are becoming more

“price-competitive” with conventional conditioning

systems.

A Bosch geothermal heat pump system (Fig. 1) will consist

of a Bosch geothermal heat pump coupled with a ground

heat exchanger to reject or add heat to the structure as

necessary. The ground heat exchanger may be a “Closed-

loop” system of buried HDPE piping, water pumped from a

groundwater well (”Open-loop” system), or a closed-loop

system in a large body of water. Other hybrid ground heat

exchanger methods also are available.

4 Residential Bosch Geothermal

Heat Pumps

Bosch geothermal heat pump systems provide space

heating and cooling, as well as water heating (Fig. 2). A

complete Bosch geothermal heat pump system is dened

as a geothermal unit with all the necessary functional

components, except for installation materials. The Bosch

geothermal heat pump system includes three principal

components (listed below) and as an option, a device

called a heat recovery package, or “desuperheater”, which

can be factory-added to provide domestic hot water when

there is a demand for space heating or cooling with the

Bosch geothermal heat pump system. These optional

devices make use of excess heat during the cooling

cycle and use some of the heat during the heating cycle

to supplement hot water production. Dedicated water

heaters can be added which operate whenever there is a

demand for hot water.

Fig. 2 Residential geothermal heat pump products

fGeothermal earth connection sub-system:

Using the earth as the heat source and heat sink, this

sub-system consists of a series of pipes which are

commonly called a “ground heat exchanger” or “loop”,

or an open well system used to obtain water to pass

through the geothermal heat pump.

fGeothermal heat pump sub-system:

Unit (or units) that exchange heat between the fluid

and the air that conditions the structure.

fDistribution sub-system:

An air-delivery system that delivers the conditioned air

to the structure.

The foundation of any Bosch geothermal heat pump

system is the Bosch geothermal heat pump unit itself. The

most commonly used unit in these systems is the Bosch

self-contained (package) water-to-air heat pump. Bosch

offers split systems as well, which allow the condensing

section (compressor section) to be located remotely from

the air handler section, but still within the structure.

Additionally, Bosch offers a water-to-water geothermal

heat pump for specic applications. These Bosch water-to-

water geothermal heat pumps can heat or chill water

for radiant oor applications, chilled water/fan coil

applications or domestic hot water generation.

The typical Bosch geothermal heat pump consists of a

compressor (rotary or scroll), an air-to-refrigerant coil

(or “air” coil), a bi-directional thermal expansion valve,

a reversing valve, a unit control board, a bi-directional

drier, a water-to-refrigerant coil and various relays and

safety devices. These components comprise the basic

geothermal heat pump refrigerant circuit to transfer heat

to and from the ground to the home (Fig. 3,4,5). All Bosch

geothermal heat pump units are designed for HFC-410A

refrigerant.

Special Bosch geothermal heat pump features can

include two-stage scroll compressors, hermetic rotary

compressors, permanent split capacitor blowers (PSC),

brushless permanent magnet blowers (BPMs), variable

speed electro-commutated blower motors (ECMs),

accumulators and specialized blower control boards

(Motor Control Interface Boards), as well as other options.

4.1 Bosch Self-Contained (Package) and Split-

System Water-to-Air Heat Pumps

Bosch has a variety of choices for self-contained

residential geothermal heat pumps. Multiple air ow

congurations for most any installation are also available.

Several of the Bosch geothermal heat pump offerings

are equipped with an exclusive sound package. The

compressor is surrounded by a multi-density sound blanket

and the units come standard with a provisions to separate

a vibrating compressor from the exterior cabinet. This

arrangement helps by reducing sound and vibration to an

absolute minimum.

4.1.1 Bosch Basic Geothermal Heat Pump Series

Bosch’s Energy Star rated basic series water-to-air

geothermal heat pump is available from ½ ton through 6

tons in either vertical or horizontal congurations (Fig.

standard features (Fig. 7). An Electronically Commutated

Motor (ECM) is factory programmed to vary the air ow

based on full or part load compressor operation, resulting

in additional energy savings of up to 60% and a greater

level of comfort in living areas. All two-stage units in this

series are equipped with a Motor Control Interface Board

(MCI) providing un-parallel blower control. These 2 to 6

ton units are available in vertical, horizontal, counter ow

or split system congurations, providing a modern design

4.1.3 Bosch Premium Geothermal Heat Pump Series

The most popular self-contained residential water-to-air

geothermal heat pumps are the Bosch Premium two-stage

series geothermal heat pumps, compliant with Energy

Star Tier 3 criteria (Fig. 9). This luxurious two-stage unit

features improved cost, aesthetics, serviceability, sound,

power and energy efciency, and is available in vertical,

horizontal, counter ow and split system congurations

from 2 to 6 tons. Its energy efciency makes this unit the

best-in-class in operating cost savings. Requiring less

energy compared to other manufacturers, these two-

stage units achieve the same output to cool or heat a

home, helping reduce energy costs. These Bosch Premium

Geothermal Heat Pumps offer eld congurability (air

return and supply discharge) reducing inventory costs,

extremely quiet operation, tin-plated hairpin "air" coils,

closed-cell (ber-free) internal insulation and pre-painted

sheet metal cabinets. An added feature useful to the

contractor is externally mounted fault indication. This

feature communicates unit operation without having to

remove the door to the circuit board, displaying operating

alerts at a glance. This device potentially speeds up

service/diagnostics.

This unit can be serviced entirely from the front, offers

a removable electrical box and a brushless permanent

magnet (BPM) blower, designed similar to variable speed

with similar efciency, but without the programming.

Electronics are "built in" providing better performance VS

External Static Pressure (ESP) compared to other blowers

(PSC).

All in all, this unit provides superior design, durability,

reliability, and indoor air quality.
