16.6 Bosch Geothermal Water-to-Water Heat
Pump Piping Design
Supply and return piping must be as large as the unit
connections on the heat pump (larger on long runs).
Never use exible hoses of a smaller inside diameter than
that of the water connections on the unit. The Water-to-
Water series units are supplied with either a copper or
optional cupronickel condenser. Should your well driller
express concern regarding the quality of the well water
available or should any known hazards exist in your area,
we recommend proper testing to assure the well water
quality is suitable for use with water source equipment.
In conditions anticipating moderate scale formation
or in brackish water a cupronickel heat exchanger is
recommended. A well water application (source side) is
shown (Fig. 122), as well as an earth coupled application
(source side) (Fig. 123).

Proper design of the delivery system is crucial to the
Bosch geothermal water-to-water heat pump system
performance, reliability and life expectancy. Bosch
recommends only type “L” straight length copper tubing
for connection between the Bosch geothermal water-to-
water heat pump and a buffer tank.
In addition, all piping should typically be rated for 760
PSI at 200°F, and all piping must be insulated. Smaller ¾"
tubing requires 1" diameter insulation with a minimum ½"
wall thickness. Larger 1" tubing requires 1-" diameter
insulation with a minimum ½" wall thickness. Smaller ¾"
tubing may be used on Bosch geothermal water-to-water
heat pumps up to 3 tons with a maximum of 25 ft. one way
and 8 elbows. Larger 1" tubing should be used on Bosch
geothermal water-to-water heat pumps up to 6 tons with a
maximum of 25 ft. one-way and 8 elbows. Refer to ASTM
388 for detailed information. Local codes supersede any
recommendations in this applications manual.
