4 Residential Bosch Geothermal
Heat Pumps
Bosch geothermal heat pump systems provide space
heating and cooling, as well as water heating (Fig. 2). A
complete Bosch geothermal heat pump system is de ned
as a geothermal unit with all the necessary functional
components, except for installation materials. The Bosch
geothermal heat pump system includes three principal
components (listed below) and as an option, a device
called a heat recovery package, or “desuperheater”, which
can be factory-added to provide domestic hot water when
there is a demand for space heating or cooling with the
Bosch geothermal heat pump system. These optional
devices make use of excess heat during the cooling
cycle and use some of the heat during the heating cycle
to supplement hot water production. Dedicated water
heaters can be added which operate whenever there is a
demand for hot water.

f
Geothermal earth connection sub-system:
Using the earth as the heat source and heat sink, this
sub-system consists of a series of pipes which are
commonly called a “ground heat exchanger” or “loop”,
or an open well system used to obtain water to pass
through the geothermal heat pump.
f
Geothermal heat pump sub-system:
Unit (or units) that exchange heat between the fluid
and the air that conditions the structure.
f
Distribution sub-system:
An air-delivery system that delivers the conditioned air
to the structure.
The foundation of any Bosch geothermal heat pump
system is the Bosch geothermal heat pump unit itself. The
most commonly used unit in these systems is the Bosch
self-contained (package) water-to-air heat pump. Bosch
offers split systems as well, which allow the condensing
section (compressor section) to be located remotely from
the air handler section, but still within the structure.
Additionally, Bosch offers a water-to-water geothermal
heat pump for speci c applications. These Bosch water-to-
water geothermal heat pumps can heat or chill water
for radiant oor applications, chilled water/fan coil
applications or domestic hot water generation.
The typical Bosch geothermal heat pump consists of a
compressor (rotary or scroll), an air-to-refrigerant coil
(or “air” coil), a bi-directional thermal expansion valve,
a reversing valve, a unit control board, a bi-directional
drier, a water-to-refrigerant coil and various relays and
safety devices. These components comprise the basic
geothermal heat pump refrigerant circuit to transfer heat
to and from the ground to the home (Fig. 3,4,5). All Bosch
geothermal heat pump units are designed for HFC-410A
refrigerant.
