Special installation requirements: Vane axial fans always rotate in the correct direction. The installer must perform a proper start-up, including: checking the three-phase compressors to make sure they are in the correct phase, and measuring temperature/pressure at start-up to make sure the compressors are running. If the installer is unable to verify the operation of the cooling system at startup (i.e. winter start), the cooling function should be disabled until the installer returns and completes a proper startup.
Serviceability Features: Hinged service door, retractable condenser fan assembly, PLC diagnostics for troubleshooting, external service port access, filter clogging indicator, easy to clean condenser coil, and Modbus interface and remote control. Visit the Bard Link™ webpage. All services and maintenance are carried out outside the building and do not take up interior space.
Supported IAQ devices: internal air filters up to MERV 13, controlled external humidifier, emergency shutdown and emergency ventilation.
Additional Features: Multi-stage, high capacity intelligent refrigeration air conditioner designed as a plug-in replacement for retrofit. Certified by AHRI and complies with state and national regulations. Control remotely with BardLink technology, take advantage of favorable weather conditions with optional free-cooling economizers, and include electric dehumidification with reheating as an optional feature. The Bard controller can control up to 14 wall units.
Serviceability Features: The blower system of the QV horizontal cabinet is designed to be easily changed on site. Installers can switch the blower outlet from end to through in minutes.
Noise Reduction: The QV is equipped with a patented Bosch compressor. The unit’s unique soundproofing kit includes an isolating fan and case insulation to suppress unwanted noise. The product also includes a raised base plate for tightness around the compressor and optimal sound performance. Its DEC Star® blower produces the same CFM as previous LV models, but at a lower speed, resulting in lower power consumption, lower noise levels and optimized sonic performance.
Additional Features: The QV series leads the industry in sound performance with an overall sound level of 53dB. It is also small, making it ideal for apartment renovation or new construction projects. To optimize the sound performance of the small enclosure, Bosch engineers have upgraded the fans to the latest technology, the high-efficiency DEC Star blower, and have applied Bosch’s patented sound deadening technology to the compressors.
