The IDP is one of three new additions to Bosch Thermotechnology’s cooling product portfolio this summer

Bosch Thermotechnology adds to its heating and cooling product portfolio with the announcement of its first-ever Inverter Ducted Packaged (IDP) air-source heat pump system, which offers peak efficiency and the latest compressor technology packaged in a single unit.

The new system’s design has a foundation in Bosch’s Inverter Ducted Split air-source heat pump system, which was redesigned to have all components located in one cabinet: the ideal packaged system for easy residential and light commercial installations.

The IDP features a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) rating of 19, an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 12.5, and a heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) of 10. The convenient two-way design allows for both horizontal and down flow installations, making installation easy, as does the system’s compatibility with most standard 24 VAC heat pump thermostats.

The IDP’s two-stage electronically commutated motor (ECM) x13 blower provides enhanced dehumidification and quiet operation, and the fully modulating inverter drive precisely matches the heating or cooling load for maximum efficiency. The IDP’s inverter compressor offers 25 to 110 percent capacity, with modulation in 1 percent increments.

“The release of the Inverter Ducted Packaged system combines Bosch’s top air-source heat pump features with a convenient single cabinet design for multiple installation options,” said Katie Woodling, product manager at Bosch Thermotechnology. “Bosch is excited to continue expanding its air-conditioning product lineup, and making advancements that fit our customers’ needs.”

The IDP meets the requirements for ENERGY STAR and will comply with the Department of Energy consumer central air conditioner and heat pump direct final rule that will become effective Jan. 1, 2023.

Delivering big performance in a small package, the RIDGID SeeSnake Compact series of camera reels just got better with the addition of the SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40, each powered by TruSense technology.

Both camera reels feature a 25 mm self-leveling camera head, 131 feet (40 meters) of push cable and are compatible with RIDGID CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitors. Their quick-release docking system makes them ideal for the new CS6x Versa digital reporting monitor and their sturdy metal frame provides a solid base that makes it easy to push and retrieve the cable for fast, efficient use. The C40’s flexible push cable is ideal for small/restricted branch lines with tight turns and shorter runs in main laterals, while the M40’s moderately stiff push cable better suits longer runs in main and branch lines.

The integrated TruSense technology establishes a two-way datalink path between the camera head and a connected RIDGID SeeSnake CSx series Wi-Fi enabled monitor. TruSense technology brings powerful data capability to plumbing diagnostics. A high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor and Tiltsense inclinometer takes the next leap forward in diagnostic imaging and conveys valuable information about the in-pipe environment.

A common challenge faced by diagnostic professionals is being able to see far down the pipe as well as the image just in front of the camera’s lights. An HDR image sensor expands the camera’s dynamic range, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed in the same image at the same time without reducing visibility. This means fewer blown-out areas and sections of the pipe that are too dark to see, offering superior clarity and detail. TiltSense measures the camera’s angle and, when connected to a SeeSnake CSx series monitor, can convey the camera’s degree of tilt on the monitor display – giving pros a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe.

“The compact, lightweight design of our new RIDGID SeeSnake Compact C40 and M40 are engineered to make transporting from work truck to jobsite easier while minimizing strain on the body,” said Amy Moneypenny, RIDGID Global Product Manager, Underground Technologies – Inspection and Locating. “The small package and all-in-one monitor capability, when used with the SeeSnake CS6x Versa monitor, enhance jobsite speed and efficiency for a more productive day.”

The Compact C40 and M40 each come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.
