Very nice looking install. Thanks for explaining the Bosch HP inverter

Thanks Bill! for sharing. Something new for me.

Octavio Delgado thanks for watching if you read down the comments gentleman told me that's 35 year old technology apparently China's been using that technology for 35 years now America's just now getting it it's new to me though

Great job. Thanks for going through the Bosh.

Good machine and brand i can see these becoming very popular 👍👍

please keep the videos coming thanks !!

nice install, wiring is great.

We have lg multi v units on a school that I work for and have a lot of electrical issues overheating boards etc lg says it’s power company power comp says it’s lg wish there were more classes on this stuff before they flood us with them

NEW SUB HERE.

Good luck getting that fixed on a wkn

Damn sparkys.

Most of my customers can't afford to be efficient. I install single stage HPs, something that can probably be easily fixed at midnight with parts on my van and something I don't have to study during a blizzard.

Interesting. These appear to be a clone of a Midea unit. Pioneer makes this one too. Kinda funny that a German brand is ok with putting their name on it. So did Carrier, who switched from Gree to Midea in the past couple of years.

This looks like the lennox xp20 heat pump control board.

I would think a surge protector would be a wise investment on this?

Good informative video. I’m still learning about the Bosh inverter. Did the 4 hr training at RE Michel and have installed one system. Where did you find the training video on line?

That Bosch system is old school technology from over 35 years ago in Japan nothing new. In many of the minisplits for the past few decades some of the big manufactures have always used one larger compressor and then through software in the inverter control the output to make it a 3 ton or 4 ton 6ton or 8 ton. it’s nice not having to use gauges just turn on your wireless Bluetooth everything to your computer laptop screen and you have more information than even a I Manifold or I Connect. What’s also nice is the air handler’s can be 2 to 3 different sizes in one package for example. When I install my air handlers I have a certain package size and just by changing EEPROM chip it could be a 3 ton a 4 or a 5 ton out of the same air handler. I have some manufactures you just plug in with your laptop and using software you change the tonnage of the air handler. Some of the systems can also have 200 percent of tonnage capacity of air handlers installed on the outdoor condenser. In my home in Shanghai with my wife and all her family members home The systems have been installed and running flawlessly for more than 20 years on the homes that I’ve been in including solar water heating high-efficiency gas stove ranges and high-efficiency tankless water heater‘s all that technology is been big over there 30 years ago, America is always the last to catch up in this area of technology. Also for more than 30 years now as you call the house you run the waste gas to heat exchanger to heat your hot water for your house with no extra money spent heating water because it’s a waste product from air-conditioning.

Sounds about right. This is the future of HVAC. I want to open my own business and be able to offer these more efficient units to the people.

I know this 6 yrs old . But just came across the same HP . Can’t tell if the board is bad or the fan motor is bad . Compressor runs but the fan don’t . Tested the plug on the board to ground on com I have 120v on high speed I have 120 v the same for low speed but com to HS no voltage.

To be totally honest with you that is the only unit I ever installed of that type and I have not been back since it's been installed have not ever worked on another one again Best thing I would do is call Bosch tech support and go over it with them I'm pretty sure that's an inverter motor so it's probably like an ECM kind of maybe I don't know a whole lot about it since it was such a long time ago sorry I couldn't help you troubleshoot that

Why do you use a low ambient control since the unit it self shuts it self down at 5 degrees?

I was wondering the same thing. I don't think it is required here but I think it would be a good think to have. Also does this unit have a crankcase heater?

So do you think it takes the outdoor unit that long to ramp up every time, or is only after powers been lost?? Is there a special startup procedure?

@tyracz

Жыл бұрын

So when you first install it, you press FORCE, it will ramp up to 71Hz....YES, 71HZ.... :) it will run in cooling so you can dial in your charge and confirm everything is good. After that you press FORCE again and it goes back to normal. Unit in cooling is looking at 42F evap coil temp, if you need to drop your evap temp to cool better OR if you have house with humidity control issues - i had customer that complaing that house is at 61% RH, when i switched toggle SW4 to ON - that drtops evap temp to 35F, house RH dropped to 48%. Inverter is controlling condenser speed as needed, it ramps up right away but only to speed that is needed, which corresponds to evap temp. Unit on the video is IDS 1.0 , there is also IDS 2.0 which color is more silver. Paired with IDS 2.0 Aira Handler , you can get SEER 20 system. I install bunch of those here in PA with 15kW emergency heat for those days that are brutal, but until now, only 2 customers had to use it, and it was 73F in their house. I did not have any boards failed yet or any other components.

I am having my 19 year old Goodman AC unit (cools faster than my 8 year old Rheem) replaced with Bosch IDS 2.0 in a few days. Any opinion on Bosch IDS 2.0?

I’m not sure if I would ever be able to trust a control board like this. Do they not want you to put gauges on it for a reason?

@billbuckman

2 жыл бұрын

You can put gauges on it if you want it there is no stipulation saying do not Hook age is the system this is just showing you an easy way to check to the pressures of the system without gauges but it's always a good idea to connect your cages to make sure that the transducers are reading correctly in the digital panel display just cuz it says it's 140 or 110 suction pressure does not mean that's actually what it's reading what you connect your gauges cuz the transducers it could be off calibration some so to answer the question does not hurt to attach gauges to verify the digital reading matches your gauge pressures

I'm happy I don't sell that , call me old school or what ever when that thing goes out you won't have anything in the truck to fix it

Ajax2341 not 100% sure about compressor I know that it is a 3-phase variable speed compressor that has a big box rectifier right next to it to take it from ac voltage to DC voltage because the compressor will speed up and slow down just like mini-split compressors but I'm pretty sure it's a scroll thanks for commenting

funny mini splitsuse to be called dx units crazy keep it over there too much of anything not good

I would hate to pay the repair bill on the monstrosity. $1500 circuit board? might as well change the entire machine. inverter tech is great for heatpumps in cold climates, but to be viable they have to get the cost down. the other problem is that the components come from asia even if the machine is made in us or canada; kill the manufacturing jobs and with the ripple effects there won't be too many people who can afford to buy these machines.
