New Bosch Hydronic Air Handler

Global ProTankless Supply is pleased to announce that we are now selling the new Bosch Hydronic Air Handler Systems: AHU70 and AHU50. These systems are designed to be used in conjunction with the Bosch Greentherm C1050ES & C950ES units.  The new Bosch Hydronic Air Handler can replace furnaces with a ducted system, eliminating the need for a gas pipe, venting, and fresh air in-take required for furnaces.

The new Bosch air handler has an integrated control board that connects to the home’s thermostat. When the thermostat calls for heat, the air handler will turn on the integrated pump immediately and turn on the fan 30 seconds later to allow the heat exchanger to preheat. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the control board will only activate the blower.

The air handler connects seamlessly with tankless water heaters, transferring the highly efficient water heater’s hot water through a hydronic heating coil within the air handler. As the hot water circulates through the coil, warm air is sent through the residential duct system as the cool water by-product recirculates to the tankless unit to be reheated and reused.

Bosch Hydronic Air Handling Units AHU70 & AHU50

The Bosch hydronic air handler is available in two models, AHU 50 and AHU 70, which can be sized with most CFM and BTU output ratings to suit a range of home sizes.

The Bosch Hydronic Air Handler is designed to work efficiently with the ENERGY STAR rated Bosch Greentherm tankless water heater to provide a complete solution for home heat and domestic hot water.

The hydronic air handler can also be used with A/C systems - a compatible A/C coil can be placed on top of the hydronic air handler and the blower inside of the hydronic air handler turns ON when the thermostat calls for cooling.

For further information and to purchase a Bosch Air Handler please call Global ProTankless Supply at 866-289-4652.

Bosch Therm 520HN NG & LP Tankless Water Heater

The new Bosch Therm 520HN comes set for either NG (Natural Gas) or LP (Liquid Propane).  The 520HN has a hydro ignition and is a naturally drafting heater and requires no power to operate.  This unit is basically for 1 major application at a time such as 1 shower at a time.  The Bosch 520 HN Needs to be vented vertically with a 5" B-vent up through the roof for a minimum of 6' to the raincap.  If the heater has to be vented out the sidewall then you must use the AQ4 Powervent kit and this kit would require 110V power.  The gas connection at the bottom of the heater is a standard 3/4" connection.

The new Bosch Therm 520HN is a direct replacement for many of the older model heaters.  Below is a list of the units that the 520HN would replace.  Please keep in mind to always be aware of gas line sizing and the length of the gas line run.

The Bosch Therm 520HN could replace:

Bosch 1600P or 1600H: (If either one of these units was vented horizontally out the sidewall with the AQ4 powervent kit then that same AQ4 powervent kit can be used for the new Bosch Therm 520HN)

Bosch Aquastar 125B, 125X, 125HX, 425PN or the 425HN: (If any of these units was vented horizontally out the sidewall with the AQ1 powervent kit then that AQ1 powervent kit WILL NOT work for the new Bosch Therm 520HN.  You would need to install the new AQ4 powervent kit for the new Bosch Therm 520HN)

ELM Le Blanc 170VP or 125VP:  (If either one of these units was vented horizontally out the sidewall with the AQ1 powervent kit then that AQ1 powervent kit WILL NOT work for the new Bosch Therm 520HN.  You would need to install the new AQ4 powervent kit for the new Bosch Therm 520HN)

The Bosch Therm 520HN is a direct replacement for the older tankless water heaters listed above but you still always want to make sure and refer to the installation manual and follow the gas line sizing chart and venting requirements.  Please also refer to local code for all other restrictions and approvals.

New Bosch Greentherm C 1050 ES Condensing Tankless Water Heater

The New Bosch Greentherm C 1050 ES Condensing tankless water heater is a top performance, fully condensing gas tankless water heater from Bosch. This 199,000 BTU heater is designed for residential or commercial applications and can deliver hot water up to 140 degrees F with a 10.5 GPM flow rate.  Not approved for space heating applications.

This Energy Star approved tankless water heater can produce enough hot water for 2-3 major applications in most homes or is good for most commercial applications.  The Greentherm C 1050 ES is now 94% energy efficient.

Unlike traditional non-condensing models, condensing technology captures heat from the exhaust gas and uses it to preheat the incoming cold water. This increases efficiency and reduces emissions -- well ahead of the 2012 Low NOX emissions standards set by SCAQMD (California -- South Coast Air Quality Management District).  The Greentherm C1050ES now has NSF Certification (National Sanitation Foundation) for commercial kitchens.  The Bosch Green Therm C1050ES now has an added bypass tube connecting the cold and hot water lines inside the unit so the heater can mix a little cold water with the hot to alleviate and fluctuations and maintain a more stable temperature.  Standard now also are three NTC temperature sensors. With a new sensor immediately after the HEX, the Greentherm achieves benchmark temperature control. The NTCs are no longer clipped on, but rather installed into the inlet and outlet pipes.

The Bosch Greentherm C 1050 ES features an electronic ignition system and can vent through either 3 inch or 4 inch diameter PVC vent pipe either through the side wall or up through the roof.  The Greentherm C950ES now takes a new concentric venting system and attaches right to the top of the heater and takes its intake air and exhaust out through one hole to the outside.  The Greentherm C1050ES can now be cascaded together with up to 4 units and they can all vent into one pipe using a special venting kit to the outside.  Installation can be done venting up to 4 units together into the one pipe having the heaters mounted side by side or back to back.  The combustion air for the units will need to be taken from the inside of the building.

The Bosch Greentherm C 1050 ES comes with built in freeze protection.  The Greentherm C1050ES also comes with an external water filter screen.  The Bosch Green Therm C1050ES does not come with a 3/4" pressure relief valve, this is an accessory that would have to be ordered separately.

The freeze prevention kit is designed to provide protection for the water heater down to approximately 5°F for short term conditions only. It will not protect the appliance in areas where the temperature is routinely expected to be below freezing.  The freeze prevention kit will not protect plumbing outside the appliance from freezing.

The Bosch Greentherm C 1050 ES comes with a limited 15 year warranty on the heat exchanger and 5 years on all other parts.  Service and labor costs are not covered.

Depending on the size of your home and the heating and DHW applications you are looking for, you would need to get an HVAC or gas technician to size the unit properly as they would have to factor in,  size of home, insulation "R" factor, windows, etc..

Gas Conversion of Pro Gas Tankless Water Heaters

Some of the Bosch Professional gas tankless water heaters can be converted from one gas type to the next, i.e. from Natural Gas (NG) - Liquid Propane (LPG) and also from LPG - NG.  The Gas Conversion Kit, part #8719002176 includes a jumper for placement on the control board, a set of instructions for calibrating the gas and air mix and also some stickers to be placed on the heater stating it has been converted. 

The tools required for the gas conversion are:

• Flat and Phillips Screwdrivers
• #40 torx driver
• Digital CO2 Gas Combustion Analyzer
• This procedure must be performed by a licensed gas technician

The Bosch Professional Non-condensing heaters such as the 940ES/940ESO/830ES/715ES/635ES and the Evolution 500 CAN be converted using the gas conversion kit.

All of the Bosch Therm condensing heaters such as the C1210ESC/C1210ES/C1050ES/C950ES/C800ES and Integra 500 CANNOT be converted as the units have a special plate built into the burner tray.  This extra plate in the burner tray was designed and instlled to give the heater the ability to be installed at higher elevations up to 8000'.

Also the Bosch Therm 660EF/660EFO/520PN/520HN/425HN/425EF/330PN CANNOT be converted as they are not designed at all for gas conversion.

Flow & Temperature Adjustment for Bosch Therm 330PN

The new Bosch Therm 330PN comes in either natural gas or liquid propane and has a control knob for adjusting the water flow and a slide adjustment for adjusting the heat on the front of the heater.

The Bosch Therm 330PN is a 75,000 BTU Gas Tankless Water Heater. This gas tankless water heater is for camps, cottages and low water flow applications.  The control knob on the right is the Temperature Adjustment knob and is for adjusting the flow of water through the heater which has the ability to speed the flow of water up making it cooler or slowing it down and making it hotter. The slide control in the middle is for adjusting the temperature of of the water by adjusting the height of the flame. When the slide is positioned on the small flame symbol the burners will be low and when the slide is on the high flame symbol the burners will get higher and the temperature hotter.

Below is how turning the Temperature Adjustment knob effects the heater:

Knob Position		Clockwise		Counter-clockwise
Degree Rise		90° F		45° F
Activation Rate		0.5 GPM		1.1 GPM
Max Flow Rate		1.3 GPM		2.6 GPM

As the temperature adjustment knob is turned counter-clockwise, the output temperature will lower and the activation rate of the heater will be raised. Turning the knob clockwise will raise the temperature and lower the activation rate.

When sliding the slide adjustment to the left, (small flame symbol) the heater will give lower flame and cooler temperatures and sliding the slide to the right will give hotter tenmperatures and a higher flame.

The Bosch Therm 330PN has a gas control slide that modulates burner input in response to flow. Its purpose is to ensure that the hot water temperature will remain steady, although the water flow demand might vary.

Bosch Therm C1210ES/ESC vs Bosch Pro GWH C920ES/ESC

Recently the Bosch Pro GWH C920ES/ESC was changed to the new model name Bosch Therm C1210ES/ESC. The model name was changed to reflect gallons per minute (gpm) at a 35 degree temperature rise. So the Bosch Therm C 1210 ES/ESC reflects a 35 degree temperature rise at 12.1 gpm. Along with this name change came many new features:

• Comes equipped with freeze prevention now.
• Has the capability to accept preheated water up to 140 degrees and is approved for Domestic Hot Water (dhw) and space heating applications in conjunction with an indirect tank.
• Has the ability to be cascaded using the Intelligent Cascade Kit for up to 24 units and would produce up to 290 gpm.

The Bosch Therm C1210 ESC commercial unit also has the ability to reach a maximum temperature of 180 degrees for commercial use.

The temperature range for the Bosch C1210ES is from 100 - 140 degrees. With the use of the Bosch Therm High Temperature Kit the unit would have the ability to reach up to 180 degrees.
