Equipped with innovative Bosch Patented Technology for noise reduction

Bosch WQ Model Features

Whisper Quiet Operation

The WQ comes equipped with Bosch-patented compressor encapsulation. The unit’s unique sound package includes an insulated blower and cabinet insulation, which dampen unwanted noise. The product also includes an elevated compressor floating base plate, ensuring air-tight encapsulation around the compressor and optimal sound performance.

Comparison of Sound

Experience the difference between the Bosch WQ decibel levels and these familiar sounds. Bosch leverages noise reduction technologies to make heat pumps that are quiet enough to provide comfort you can feel without the noise.

Cabinet

The WQ unit cabinetry is constructed using galvanized steel, providing superior corrosion protection for indoor units. All interior surfaces are lined with 1/2” thick, 1.5 lb./cu.ft. density, Micromat insulation for thermal insulation and acoustical attenuation. This insulation is non-combustible, non-hydroscopic, and anti-fungal. The insulation meets NFPA 90A and 90B standards for fire protection and is certified to meet the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Standard for Low-Emitting Products.

Serviceability

All vertical units are serviced from the front. Hz models have access from sides. Schrader valves for high and low pressure gauges and the electrical box components are easily accessible for diagnosing and servicing each unit.

Two-Door Front Panel

The WQ includes two front panels, which allow technicians to troubleshoot the unit while it is operating.

Hanging Brackets

For some applications, hanging brackets may be needed. All horizontal units come standard with hanging bracket kits for suspending the unit from field-supplied hanger rods. These kits include heavy duty steel brackets and rubber grommets for sound and vibration isolation from the building structure.

Constant Airflow with high efficiency ECM DEC Star® blower driven by Axial Flux BLAC motor with ECM EON motor control technology, delivers desired air flow with reduced RPMs

High density vinyl insulated sound blocker blower jacket

Bosch patented compressor encapsulation uses high density mass loaded vinyl sound blocker and heavy gauge sheet metal panels which provides whisper quiet operation

Copper & Cupro-Nickel Coaxial Heat Exchangers Available

High density mass loaded vinyl sound blocker insulated panels in condensing section minimizing compressor noise

Corrosion-Resistant stainless steel drain pan

Units come standard with a standard Throwaway 1" filter with a 2- sided filter rack

Standard Duoguard™ Air Coil

Water Connections

All water connections are heavy duty bronze 3/4” or 1” FPT fittings securely fastened to the unit corner post. This allows installers to connect to a Bosch Flexbile Hose Kit Accessory without needing a backup wrench, making for easier, faster installation.

Bosch Quality & Reliability

The Bosch Group has more than 40 years of experience in designing heat pumps for residential & commercial applications. We rigorously test products in our ISO 9001-2008 and ISO 140012004 certified facilities. We are committed to providing consistent quality in every unit we build.

unit. The Tin Electro-Plated Copper Tubing hair pins with High-Tech Polymer Coated Aluminum Fins will protect the evaporator coil from all forms of corrosive elements in the air stream.

Evaporator coils employ lanced fin and rifled tubing for maximum heat transfer. Large face areas result in lower face velocity, reducing sound while ensuring high latent heat removal for maximum dehumidification in the cooling mode.

DEC Star® Blower

Each unit comes standard with a Constant Airflow ECM DEC Star® Blower. Highly efficient, the DEC Star® blower produces the same CFM as the SV but at a lower RPM, resulting in decreased power consumption, lower sound levels, and optimal sound performance. The DEC Star® blower’s high efficiency and improved airflow keeps maintenance costs to a minimum.

Unit Protection Module

Each WQ includes a factory-provided Unit Protection Module (UPM) that controls unit operationand monitors the safety controls that protect the unit. The main purpose of the UPM is to protect the compressor by monitoring the different states of switches and sensors. It also provides time delays and protects the unit against freezing of the water coil and evaporator coil. The UPM interfaces with the thermostat.

 Standard low fluid temperature (freeze) protection sensor. The freeze protection sensor is designed to disable compressor operation when the unit is in the heating mode, should the refrigerant temperature fall below either 26°F (-3.3°C) or 15°F (-9.4°C)

 Condensate overflow protection sensor is standard and factory mounted in the drain pan of the unit

 Low air coil temperature (freeze) protection sensor disables the compressor when the refrigerant entering the air coil drops below 26°F (-3.3°C)

LED Fault Indication

Two LED indicators are provided on the circuit board

 Green: Power

 Red: Fault indicator with blink codes: High pressure, Low pressure, Freeze protection, Condensate overflow, Brownout condition
