Just before Christmas and the turn of the New Year, Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomed Jimmy Abraham of Bosch Home Comfort USA to the show to discuss how to make the most of the 25C and Inflation Reduction Act tax credits as an HVAC or Plumbing contractor. The two dive into the tools and information available through Bosch Home Comfort as well as urging contractors to do their own local research to be able to best serve their customers while also using the incentives to help drive sales of Bosch IDS Inverter Heat Pumps and their Greentherm and Greentronic Water Heaters. Make sure to take some notes on this one as there are some great nuggets of information to help you grow your business and properly communicate to customers how these incentives work.

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science podcast, host Eric Kaiser is joined by Keith Gifford, Senior Global Product Manager at Penn Controls, for an in-depth discussion about the emerging use of A2L refrigerants in the HVACR industry. A2Ls are a new class of refrigerants classified by ASHRAE as mildly flammable and boast a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to traditional refrigerants. Keith shares his unique perspective, shaped by extensive experience across all major refrigeration components, to explain the challenges, opportunities, and safety considerations surrounding A2Ls. Key topics include the design and engineering hurdles posed by A2Ls, such as material compatibility, flammability mitigation, and the development of leak sensors calibrated to specific refrigerants. Keith also addresses the impact on service technicians, building codes, and system designs, emphasizing the importance of industry-wide education to ensure safe and effective adoption. Finally, Keith reflects on the future of refrigerants, including the potential for CO2 and other environmentally friendly solutions, signaling that innovation in HVACR is far from over.

Thanks to Bosch Home Comfort, just prior to Christmas, Rhydon was able to have an eye opening conversation with Bosch IDS Ultra project engineer, Trevor Shane. The two discussed not only Trevor's path to Bosch and how he navigated a switch from the auto industry to HVAC but some of the key design features on the new IDS Ultra Cold Climate Heat Pump. IDS Ultra as the first Heat Pump to pass the United States Cold Climate Challenge and Bosch looks to lead the way with this revolutionary technology. Bosch's first announced R454B A2L compliant system as first shown to the world in Chicago at the 2024 AHR conference and HVAC R&D is proud to be a part of helping to educate the #TradeCrew and support the launch of this fantastic new product to market. #HVAC #BOSCH #IDS #IDSULTRA #INVERTER #HEATPUMP #ENGINEERING #A2L #R454B #COLDCLIMATEHEATPUMP
In this short podcast episode, Bryan answers a listener-submitted question about double flares and their application in the HVAC/R industry. Flare connections are common in certain types of equipment, and they connect the copper to the appliance. As a result, when we make a flare, our goal is to make it leak-free. A regular flare requires you to cut the copper, clean it, put the flare nut on, and make the flare with a flaring block (or a flaring tool). You can also put a little bit of oil on the flare cone to prevent galling. Modern power flaring tools are common nowadays, especially in markets where we install a lot of mini-splits. We also use torque wrenches to tighten the flare connection according to the manufacturer's specs. In mission-critical applications where we have toxic or flammable refrigerants under high pressure, we especially want leak-free connections. Double flares make more sense in these scenarios for extra security (though we may use different connection types). A double flare requires you to use a double-flare die that flares over the edge, though those double-flare dies are more common in older flaring kits and may not exist for power tools or spin tools. Double flares are usually less practical than other alternatives that exist on the market. For example, some manufacturers make flare gaskets to reduce the likelihood of leaks, and these are functionally similar to a double flare. Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
