Bosch has just introduced a new Greenstar Combi 131 Gas-Fired Wall-Hung Condensing Boiler for space heating and DHW. "Combi" (combination) unit with space heating and integrated water heating in one highly efficient, compact unit. With special insulation to ensure ultra quiet operation and the exclusive keypad safety lock feature to prevent unwanted tampering with heating controls, this unit is the ideal "green" upgrade for detached & terraced houses and is also suitable for apartments.
The Greenstar Combi 131 is simple to operate and some of the specifications include:
131.9K BTU
AFUE rating of 95%
Delivers 3.2 GPM at 72 degree rise
3/4" Water connections
1" main heating connections
Can be vented with 2" or 3" PVC
3" PVC concentric vent kit available for vertical or horizontal installation
Telescopic Concentric Up and out vent kit available for horizontal installation
The energy-savings and environmental features are:
Aluminum-Silicon heat exchanger delivers high efficiency with low temperature applications
Low NOx emissions ahead of 2012 SCAQMD regulations
Simple, intelligent control options optimize efficiency and fuel consumption
Low electrical consumption when the boiler is in standby mode
Electronic ignition
Anti-cycle and modulation control
These Greenstar Combi 131 condensing space heating boiler can be used for either Natural Gas or Liquid Propane installations. The Greenstar units come preset for Natural Gas (NG), but can be converted to Liquid Propane (LP). A gas conversion kit is included.
The Greenstar Combi units come with a temperature control FW 200 that can either be mounted to the heater or mounted to the wall beside the heater. This module allows the heater to be set for different temperatures, zones and the time of day the heater comes on and goes off. The FW 200 control also comes with a temperature probe that goes to the outside and detects and monitors the outside temperature and then allows the heater to remember the coldest and warmest times of the day and year.
All Greenstar Combi boilers are equipped with a high-strength stainless steel secondary exchanger and burner with double passage - ensuring consistent temperature output based on demand. The DHW hot water temperature control limit of 140°F helps prevent scale build-up within the heat exchanger.
The Bosch Compress 3000 HP 200-1, 50 Gallon Electric Heat Pump Water Heater is ultra efficient and shares technology similar to an Energy Star qualified Refrigerator. Rather than taking heat from the inside of the appliance and moving it outside as a refrigerator does; Bosch heat pump technology takes heat from outside the appliance and uses it to heat the water! Using a specially designed heat pump system, the heat is transferred from the surrounding air to the water stored in a well insulated storage tank, resulting in efficient hot water and zero direct greenhouse gas emissions!
Compared to a traditional tank water heater, the Bosch Electric Heat Pump Water Heater is twice as effective with savings of $307 (59% reduction on your water heating costs), making it the smart choice for your water heating needs with an estimated payback in just three years.
Features:
- Zero emissions - clean electric operation and no venting requirements
- Easy to read LCD display allows for easy operation and ideal temperature, efficiency and demand settings
- Simple installation utilizing standard connections required for traditional tank water heaters
- Warranty: 10-year tank & parts
The Bosch heat pump water heater also cools and dehumidifies unconditioned air as an extra benefit, saving money and energy on air conditioning. Installing in unconditioned spaces with air temperatures between 45°F - 115°F will yield the highest efficiencies for the Bosch heat pump water heater. With use of the ducted air option, the Bosch heat pump water heater uses the energy of the unconditioned air to supply cooler, dehumidified air into the air duct, reducing the overall energy load of your home.
