Introduction

Saving energy and protecting the climate 

Viessmann is aware of its responsibility for sustained protection of the environment. 

Its company philosophy and products focus on this. 

"Nothing is so good that it cannot be 

improved". This guideline is also reflected 

in our company principles. In this industry, 

Viessmann can rightfully claim to be the 

leader in quality and technology, and as such, 

aims to continually set new standards. 

Of course, this applies in particular to 

the company's product range, which is 

consistently geared towards significantly 

lowering the consumption of fossil fuels, 

and gradually replacing them with renewable 

sources of energy. 

At around 40 percent, the heating market 

actually accounts for the largest proportion 

of energy consumption in Germany. The rest 

is shared by "goods transport", "personal 

transport" and "power", with 20 percent each. 

These are values that can also be applied, to 

some extent, to other industrial countries. 

Ever-rising energy costs mean that the 

emphasis is on reducing the consumption of 

fossil fuels as quickly as possible and utilising 

these fuels with greater efficiently. 

Natural heat 

The heating system from Viessmann 

Heat pumps should be your first choice if your 

priorities are both to save on heating costs 

and to generate heat in an environmentally 

responsible way. After all, the environment 

gives us an unlimited and free supply of the 

energy a heat pump uses. This fully-fledged 

heating system only consumes little power 

for drives and pumps to make that energy 

available. This makes you independent of 

fossil fuels, and in addition you make an active 

contribution towards reducing CO2 emissions 

and protecting the climate. 

As a pioneer in the field of standard heat 

pumps, Viessmann has been setting 

standards in efficient utilisation of energy and 

longevity of service life with its advanced 

systems for 30 years. This means you also 

benefit from its many years of experience as a 

supplier of comprehensive heating systems. 

Whether for modernisation or new build: 

Viessmann has the right solution for you, too! 

Viessmann offers you energy 

efficient heating systems for 

oil, gas, solar, biomass and 

natural heat. The pictographs 

will help to guide you.

Introduction 

Heat pump 

VITOCAL 

Simple principle, great result 

The technical principle of a heat pump is similar to that of a fridge – 

it just works the other way round. 

In a fridge, heat is transferred from the 

inside to the outside. With a heat pump, 

this happens exactly the other way round. 

The heat from outside – for example from 

the ground – is transferred via the heating 

system to the inside, into the living space. To 

raise the temperature, a refrigerant vapour 

is compressed until the temperature for 

central and DHW heating is reached. With 

the Vitocal 300-G and Vitocal 350-A, this can 

even be up to 65 °C. This means this heat 

pump can also be used for modernisation 

projects. 

Highly efficient scroll compressor 

The compression process is vital for the 

efficiency of a heat pump. Viessmann heat 

pumps use a Compliant scroll compressor 

that is comprised of two interlocking spirals 

that continuously compress the refrigerant. 

Compression process 

65 °C 

Ground 

Temperature all year round between 5 and 18 °C (at 2 m depth) 

Getting hotter towards the centre – from an initial 

temperature of between 5 and 18 °C, a flow temperature of 

up to 65 °C is achieved. 

As with a bicycle pump, the temperature also 

rises with increasing pressure. This ensures 

efficient temperature raising from the cold 

side (the heat source on the outside) to the 

hot side (the heating circuit in the building). 

Compliant scroll compressors as used by 

Viessmann is that they operate quietly and 

with low vibrations, are maintenance free and 

extremely durable. 

You won't need to worry about heating 

bills any more 

An investment in a Viessmann heat pump 

will always be worthwhile because you won't 

have to pay for any more fuel from day one. 

From now on, the energy you use to generate 

heat comes free, from right outside your door. 

Furthermore, the power needed to exploit this 

free fuel is very efficiently used. From one 

kilowatt of power, a heat pump can generate 

between 3 and 4 kW of heat. 

A heat pump can make use of the 

following energy sources: 

Air as energy source: 

Practically unlimited availability; lowest 

investment costs 

Ground as energy source: 

Via geothermal collector or geothermal probe; 

very efficient 

Water as energy source: 

Extremely efficient; observe water quality 

Waste heat as energy source: 

Subject to availability, volume and 

temperature level of the waste heat 

The best heat source for each individual case 

depends on local conditions and the actual 

heat demand.

You can either get annoyed about ever-rising energy prices or make yourself 

independent of fossil fuels, relying on proven technology instead. 

Vitocal heat pumps from Viessmann utilise 

the unlimited, free natural heat in the 

environment. It is unlimited and free. This 

heating technology is amongst the most 

economical and clean of all options for heat 

generation. To ensure that this remains 

the case and that heat pump technology is 

continuously improved and therefore becomes 

even more efficient, Viessmann is putting 

innovative development and improvement at 

the top of its list. Only when the customer is 

satisfied with Viessmann heat pumps can the 

company be satisfied too.

Vitocal 333-G, NC including all components for natural cooling 

Vitocal 343-G, generally including the option to connect to a solar thermal system 

The Vitocal 343-G and Vitocal 333-G were 

developed as compact and highly efficient 

solutions for new build. In the course of 

this development, generously sized heat 

exchangers enabled a high COP 

(COP = coefficient of performance) of 4.7 to 

EN 14511 with brine 0 °C/water 35 °C to be 

achieved. 

In addition, the seasonal performance factor 

could also be maximised. It describes the ratio 

between the amount of heat (heating energy) 

transferred and input energy (drive energy) 

over the course of a full year. The innovative 

RCD system (Refrigerant Cycle Diagnostic) 

played a vital role in the improvement of the 

seasonal performance factor. This system 

enables a highly precise and rapid control 

of the refrigerant circuit via an electronic 

expansion valve. The RCD system ensures 

that the heat pump operates with optimum 

efficiency at every operating point. 

In addition, energy saving, high efficiency 

DC pumps compliant with Energy Label A 

for the brine and heating circuit, ensure very 

low consumption costs and therefore a high 

seasonal performance factor in all three 

compact appliances. 

With solar cylinders or natural cooling 

Vitocal 343-G is designed for the connection 

of a solar thermal system for DHW heating. 

A generously sized solar cylinder with a 220 l 

capacity and a solar control unit have been 

integrated into the appliance for this purpose. 

In the compact Vitocal 333-G, a DHW cylinder 

with a 170 l capacity ensures a convenient 

supply of DHW. To help cool you down on 

hot summer days, the Vitocal 333-G is also 

available in a version with an integral natural 

cooling function. 

Vitocal 343-G and

i.e. with and without solar thermal connection 

and with integral natural cooling function. 

DHW cylinders with 170 litre capacity (solar 

version with 220 l) are integrated to safeguard 

high DHW convenience. At the core of the 

appliance is a newly developed high efficiency 

heat pump module. 

These compact appliances are highly efficient 

thanks to the new refrigerant circuit with 

electronic expansion valve (EEV) and the 

Viessmann-developed RCD (Refrigerant Cycle 

Diagnostic) systems plus the standard energysaving 

DC pumps. This is reflected day by day 

and year by year in high seasonal performance 

factors and low consumption costs.

Small footprint 

With their space saving designs, the 

Vitocal 343-G and Vitocal 333-G are 

particularly suitable for anywhere where 

space is restricted. The brine and heating 

circuit pumps and the 3-way diverter valve are 

already integrated inside the compact casing 

that completely protects the cooling module/ 

hydraulic compartment from the outside 

environment and, in conjunction with the 

new three-dimensional anti-vibration mounts, 

minimises operating noise. These compact 

heat pumps are some of the quietest in their 

category, as they only generate 38 dB(A) at 

0/35 °C. 

For easier handling, the height of the unit was 

reduced and the body designed to split into 

sections. Variable connection accessories 

supplied ex works make heat pump 

installation easier. 

Extremely easy to operate 

Like all our compact appliances, the 

Vitocal 343-G and Vitocal 333-G, too, 

are equipped with the new, user-friendly 

Vitotronic control unit. If in doubt, help is 

available at the push of a button. The graphic 

interface will also display heating curves and 

solar yield. 

The programming unit of the Vitotronic control 

unit can be removed from the front of the 

appliance and be replaced with an external 

programming unit, available as an accessory, 

and a dummy cover. A five metre long power 

cable enables the external programming 

unit to be mounted almost anywhere in a 

convenient position on a wall mounting base. 

Always accessible 

Subject to demand, the new Vitotronic 

control unit can be fitted with convenient 

communication technology. From 

Vitocom 100 to Vitocom 300, versatile remote 

monitoring and remote control options are 

available wherever you are.

The compact heat pumps, Vitocal 343-G and Vitocal 333-G, 

contain everything you need for central heating and 

DHW heating. 

The new Vitotronic control units with large multi line 

plain text graphic display can also display the solar yield, 

for example. 

Take advantage of these benefits: 

n Compact ground source heat pumps with heating output from 5.9 to 10.3 kW 

n High performance factors: COP to EN 14511 up to 4.7 (brine 0 °C/water 35 °C)

Heat pumps Vitocal 300-G

VITOCAL 300-G 

With the Vitocal 300-G, you can utilise sustainable heat stored underground or in ground 

water. This heat pump was designed for utmost compactness, so it takes up remarkably 

little space: Inside the casing of the BWC/WWC models, the circulation pumps for the 

brine circuit and the heating circuit, as well as the 3-way diverter valve, are already 

integrated. 

The Vitocal 300-G ground source heat pump 

is specifically designed for detached houses. 

It utilises heat that's right on your doorstep. 

What's more, you call the shots, selecting 

the output from 6.2 to 117.8 kW, making it 

both efficient and effective. So your central 

and DHW heating needs will be reliably and 

conveniently covered. 

Heat from the ground or groundwater 

You can choose how you get heat from the 

ground with the ground source version. This 

is done either via a geothermal probe or 

via a geothermal collector laid at a depth of 

approx. 1.5 m. In both cases, the heat pump 

covers the entire energy demand, even on 

colder days. Subject to the location of your 

house, it may also be possible to utilise the 

latent heat in groundwater. For this, the 

Vitocal 300-G is simply converted to operate 

as a water/water heat pump – and delivers the 

highest COP in this operating mode. 

Tightly packed performance 

The Vitocal 300-G (type BWC/WWC) proves 

its worth through its particularly compact 

design. It contains everything Circulation 

pumps for brine circuit and heating circuit 

including a safety assembly with safety valve, 

pressure gauge and air vent valve fitted as 

standard. This clever integration minimises 

the space required. An electric booster heater 

is available as an accessory. 

Greater heat demand? 

No problem for the Vitocal 300-G 

For buildings with a very high heat demand, 

the two-stage Vitocal 300-G based on the 

master/slave principle is the right choice. It 

achieves a heating output of 12.4 to 117.8 kW. 

Here, you also have the choice between the 

groundwater or the ground as the heat source. 

Vitocal 300-G are 

certified in accordance 

with the EHPA heat 

pump quality seal and 

NF-PAC.

Vitocal 300-G 

Powerful, quiet and reliable 

The heart of the Vitocal 300-G is its powerful 

Compliant scroll compressor. It convinces 

through excellent reliability, safety and 

particularly quiet operation, thanks, in part, 

to the hermetic seal and dual anti-vibration 

mounts. At the same time, the Compliant 

scroll compressor ensures the highest 

performance factors and flow temperatures 

up to 65 °C. 

Support from the sun 

An advanced heating system should include 

innovative solar technology. For instance, 

using solar energy to back up your heat pump. 

For this, Viessmann offers you a system that 

is a perfect match for the Vitocal 300-G. 

Perfect for higher output levels too 

Even for greater heat demand, the 

Vitocal 300-G is the right choice, because 

you can link several separate heat pumps 

via the heating flow and return. This does 

not just deliver the higher heat output, but 

also increases the operational reliability of 

the entire system. The modular design with 

separate compressor circuits also provides a 

2 3

6 

particularly high efficiency in the partial 

load range, and simultaneously enables the 

operation of central heating and DHW heating. 

RCD system for an optimum heat pump 

operation 

RCD stands for Refrigerant Cycle Diagnostic 

system. It continually monitors the refrigerant 

circuit within the Vitocal 300-G and, in 

conjunction with the electronic expansion 

valve, ensuring the highest level of efficiency 

at any operating point. 

Modular solution for higher heat demand 

With six output sizes as a master or slave 

version, various combinations can be realised, 

precisely matched to the required heat 

demand. Because of this flexibility, systems 

can be configured so that runtimes match 

demand, thus saving you money. 

The master module regulates the slave 

module. By combining different output 

sizes, users have the option of matching the 

environmentally responsible heating system 

to their own heat demand – as, for example, 

in an apartment building – as efficiently as 

possible by utilising various modules. There is 

also the option to equip the entire system with 

high efficiency DC pumps (Energy Label A).

Vitocal 300-G 

The Vitocal 300-G is specifically designed for 

detached houses and apartment buildings. 

It utilises heat that's right on everyone's 

doorstep, either with a single stage brine/ 

water heat pump, from 21.2 to 42.8 kW, 

or with a water/water heat pump from 

28.1 to 58.9 kW – tailored to the specific 

heat demand. 

For apartment buildings or applications with 

a very high heat demand, the two-stage 

Vitocal 300-G, based on the master/slave 

principle, is the right choice. It can deliver a 

heating output from 42.4 to 85.6 kW (brine/ 

water) or from 56.2 to 117.8 kW (water/ 

water). You also have the choice between the 

groundwater or the ground as your preferred 

heat source. Where this output is still not 

enough, the cascade function integrated into 

the control unit enables output to be raised up 

to 471.2 kW (water/water). 

Powerful and reliable 

At the heart of the Vitocal 300-G lies its 

powerful Compliant scroll compressor. This 

convinces with a high degree of operational 

safety and reliability. The Vitocal 300-G, in 

conjunction with the large heat exchangers 

and the integral refrigerant manifold, achieves 

a high coefficient of performance and flow 

temperatures of up to 60 °C.

system. It provides a permanent monitoring of 

the refrigerant circuit within the Vitocal 300- 

G and, in conjunction with the electronic 

expansion valve, ensures the highest level of 

efficiency at any operating point. 

Perfect for higher output levels too 

Especially for a higher heat demand, the 

Vitocal 300-G is the first choice, because 

you can link several separate heat pumps 

via the heating flow and return. This does 

not just deliver the higher heat output, but 

it also increases the operational reliability of

Heat pumps Vitocal 200-G

VITOCAL 200-G 

With the Vitocal 200-G, heating with natural heat is not just a question of value for money. 

If you are building, or planning to build, a 

detached house, then Viessmann has the right 

heat pump solution that will win you over with 

its powerful output and surprise you with its 

affordability. The output of the Vitocal 200-G 

makes invest using renewables very attractive 

– particularly for detached houses. 

You won't need to worry about heating 

bills any more 

An investment in a Viessmann heat pump, 

such as the Vitocal 200-G, is always 

worthwhile because you won't have to pay for 

any more fuel from day one. From now on, 

the energy you use to generate heat comes 

free, from right outside your door. 

Furthermore, the power needed to exploit this 

free fuel is very efficiently used. From one 

kilowatt of power, a heat pump can generate 

between 3 and 4 kW of heat. 

A solid investment for the future 

Durability is a key feature of all Viessmann 

heat pumps. All materials used must comply 

with the most stringent demands; strict 

quality conditions are applied throughout the 

manufacturing process as well. This will pay 

off for you, for example, the refrigerant circuit 

is hermetically sealed and therefore requires 

no maintenance. 

The environment benefits 

It's good to know that heat pumps 

significantly reduce CO2 emissions every day 

whilst they provide DHW and central heating. 

After all, no fossil fuels are used here. This 

means you protect valuable natural resources, 

and by purchasing a Vitocal 200-G, you 

also make a personal contribution to active 

climate protection. 

Two heating circuits for individual 

heating convenience 

The convenient ground source heat pump 

offers all functions required for using a heat 

pump in a new detached home. The weathercompensated, 

digital heat pump control 

unit allows two separate heating circuits to 

be connected. 

High flow temperature 

Its innovative technology with efficient 

Compliant scroll compressor enables the 

Vitocal 200-G to achieve maximum flow 

temperatures of 60 °C. This frees you from 

restrictions to underfloor heating systems, 

permitting the heat to be discharged via 

radiators as well. High DHW convenience is 

also ensured. 

The Vitocal 200-G is 




NF-PAC.

Top performance, even in winter 

With its output spectrum of 6.4 to 9.6 kW, 

the Vitocal 200-G in mono mode operation 

guarantees convenient heat supply all year 

round. This means you'll be as snug and warm 

inside as you want, even in the depths of 

winter – all without a booster heater. 

A heating system in summer? 

For cooling, naturally! 

On hot summer days you can make the room 

pleasantly cool with your Vitocal heat pump. 

Switch to natural cooling. By simply running 

the circulation pumps, the heat from inside 

your house is transferred to the ground. All 

you need to use the Vitocal's handy extra 

natural cooling function is an NC-Box.

Installation and assembly made easy 

The Vitocal 200-G is supplied with integral 

brine and heating circuit pumps, diverter 

valve and fitted safety assembly. Handling 

the Vitocal 200-G is no problem, since its 

casing and heat pump module are delivered 

separately. Installation on site is child's 

play, as all the connections are at the top. 

This also means the heat pump can be 

installed close to the wall without taking up 

an excessive amount of space. The optional 

temporary installation of an electrical booster 

heater, for example for screed drying, is an 

additional bonus.

Vitocal 350-A

VITOCAL 350-A 

Do you want to modernise your heating system with a heat pump, but are unable to 

make use of heat from the ground or groundwater? No problem with the Vitocal 350-A 

air source heat pump. 

The Vitocal 350-A air source heat pump 

with rated heating outputs 10.6 to 18.5 kW 

is particularly suitable for modernisation 

projects. Thanks to enhanced vapour injection 

in the compression process (EVI cycle), 

developed by Viessmann, flow temperatures 

of up to 65 °C can be achieved – even at 

winter outside temperatures. This air source 

heat pump can therefore also be used in older 

heating systems equipped with radiators. 

The Vitotronic 200 heat pump control unit 

of the Vitocal 350-A has an integral cascade 

function. This means that, in buildings with 

a high heat demand, up to four air source 

heat pumps can be operated in a cascade. 

Cumulative heating outputs of up to 74 kW 

are therefore possible. 

Air source heat pump with particularly 

high efficiency 

An electronic expansion valve and RCD 

system also ensure an extremely high level of 

efficiency for the Vitocal 350-A all year round. 

For air source heat pumps, the Vitocal 350-A 

offers a high coefficient of performance, 

i.e. 3.5 (in accordance with EN 14511 at 

air 2 °C/water 35 °C), resulting in high 

seasonal performance factors and very low 

running costs. 

Space saving thanks to outside 

installation 

The Vitocal 350-A can be installed either 

internally or externally. The three-stage radial 

fan in the heat pump, as well as the flowoptimised 

air routing and the sound insulated 

casing together make the Vitocal 350-A 

extremely quiet and during night operation 

the variable-stage fan control unit reduces 

the speeds and thus the noise emissions 

even further.

Vitocal 350-A 

Ideal for modernisation 

The Vitocal 350-A air source heat pump 

makes modernising easy. The additional 

vapour injection in the compressor process 

(EVI cycle) enables flow temperatures of up 

to 65 °C. This therefore makes them an ideal 

choice for older heating systems equipped 

with radiators. The heat pump draws its 

energy from the ambient air so there is non of 

the inconvenience of drilling boreholes as for 

geothermal probes. 

High DHW convenience 

Subject to system version, a higher flow 

temperature enables a water temperature 

of up to 55 °C inside the DHW cylinder. 

This allows the Vitocal 350-A to deliver 

a particularly high DHW convenience. 

The Vitocal 350-A achieves its high flow 

temperature of 65°C even at outside 

temperatures as low as –10 °C.

RCD guarantees efficient operation 


system. In the Vitocal 350-A, it is responsible 

for permanently monitoring the refrigerant

expansion valve (EEV) ensures the highest 

efficiency at every operating point. Alongside 

this, important operating parameters are 

saved and called up, when required, for 

diagnosis, optimisation, energy statements 

and to calculate the seasonal efficiency (SPF). 

Just perfect 

If the heat pump is installed outside, the heat 

needs to be "transported" to the interior of the 

house. For this, you can rely on the heating 

competence of Viessmann. For routing 

underground, you can rely on Viessmann's 

specially matched, thermally insulated 

pipe systems, as well as a complete range 

of accessories.

Vitocal 300-A

VITOCAL 300-A 

The Vitocal 300-A opens a new chapter for modulating air source heat pumps 

guaranteeing the highest level of efficiency at every stage with its advanced 

heat pump technology. 

Simply taking energy out of the air and 

using it for central and DHW heating sounds 

rather tempting. However, especially in 

winter, i.e. precisely when the demand for 

heating energy is high, the outdoor air does 

not contain much energy for a heat pump 

to extract. However, this is no problem for 

the Vitocal 300-A air/water heat pump. It 

is particularly efficient and can, even at an 

outside temperature of 6 °C, still deliver a 

flow temperature of 60 °C. 

Heating efficiently with air 

The Vitocal 300-A air/water heat pump 

is extremely efficient and achieves high 

seasonal performance factors. It can take over 

both central and DHW heating. So you can 

eliminate the cost of fossil fuels from your 

household expenditure right from the start. 

You only have to meet the cost of electricity 

to run the heat pump system. 

Higher convenience, lower investment 

No additional investment is required to install 

a Vitocal 300-A air source heat pump. There 

is no geothermal collector to be installed 

or drilling work to be carried out, as is the 

case with geothermal probes. Depending 

on which version you choose, you may not 

need a costly buffer cylinder or primary store 

system either, because output is matched to 

your needs in an optimum operation. Another 

benefit lies in the fact that the Vitocal 300-A 

can be installed outside or inside, subject to 

the prevailing building conditions.

Everything you need 

Every household has a different heat demand 

and circumstances concerning the installation 

of a heat pump are different from site to site. 

The range of accessories for the Vitocal 300- 

A is both flexible and comprehensive 

enough to meet these challenges. Subject 

to requirement, the heat pump can be 

supplied fully equipped. This means the HE 

DC pump (Energy Label A), 3-way diverter 

valve and safety equipment have already 

been fully fitted. Even the modular electric 

instantaneous heating water heater can be 

easily integrated. Finally, Viessmann also 

offers the complete product range to meet 

the demands of any installation you require – 

inside or out. 

Monitor and control from wherever 

you are 

With the new control unit of the 

Vitocal 300-A, you can simply connect your 

heat pump to the Vitocom 100/300. This 

gives you the option of conveniently operating 

your heating system via your mobile phone if 

you wish. 

Cooling – no problem 

Thanks to its reversible operation, the 

Vitocal 300-A can also be used for cooling.

VITOCAL 200-S 

The Vitocal 200-S utilises affordable energy from the ambient air. 

It is suitable for new build and existing buildings. Combination with existing heat sources 

is also easily possible. 

Heating and cooling system with internal 

and external unit 

As an alternative the Vitocal 200-S heat pump 

is also available as a heating system only 

or as a system for heating and cooling. The 

Vitocal 200-S utilises the latent heat in the 

outdoor air. The weather-resistant external 

unit can be sited where required and is easy 

to install, even on external walls, thanks 

to its compact dimensions. A freestanding 

installation next to the building or on a flat roof 

is also possible. 

Vitocal 200-S 

External and internal unit 

As with other heating systems, the internal 

unit is sited in a cellar or utility room inside 

the building. It is comprised of the hydraulics, 

the heat exchanger, a heating circuit pump 

and a 3-way diverter valve for a convenient 

supply of heating water and DHW. As an 

option, a three-stage instantaneous heating 

water heater can also be integrated (for type 

AWS AC already integrated as standard). 

In summer, the Vitocal 200-S, type AWS AC, 

can also be used to cool the rooms in the 

building. For this, fan convectors or an 

underfloor heating system can be used.

Efficient and economical 

The Vitocal 200-S operates with astonishing 

efficiency, particularly in partial load mode. To 

this end, the appliance makes full use of the 

benefits offered by a DC inverter. Through 

modulation it matches the compressor output 

precisely to the prevailing demand and 

thereby maintains the required temperature. 

When it comes to modernisation, the split 

heat pump is ideally suited for efficient dual 

mode operation. Under these circumstances, 

the existing system remains in operation to 

cover peak loads. 

Quiet operation through variable 

speed control 

The modulating operation of the Vitocal 200-S 

reduces the frequency of system starting and 

stopping. In addition, the variable speed fans 

and compressor are significantly less noisy 

than those that run at constant operation at 

top speed. 

Convenient Vitotronic control unit 

Contractor and system users benefit equally 

from the easy to operate Vitotronic 200 

control unit: The control unit, with users 

prompts, is structured logically and is easy 

to follow. The large backlit display offers 

good contrast, making it easy to read. A help 

function informs users of the next steps 

to perform. The graphic interface will also 

display heating and cooling curves. Additional 

components from the comprehensive range

can be easily switched. If required, the 

programming unit can be installed hard wired 

on a wall mounting base up to five metres 

away from the Vitocal 200-S. 

Extensive service from Viessmann 

The refrigerant lines are connected to form a 

circuit on site. Consequently, the legislature 

specifies that the installation is carried 

out by qualified personnel only. Heating 

contractors can acquire the relevant expertise 

in accordance with the Chemical Safety 

Ordinance as part of a one week course at 

Viessmann. Systems can be commissioned by 

Viessmann's Technical Service department. 

With design software developed by 

Viessmann in accordance with VDI 4650, 

heating contractors can calculate whether 

public subsidies are available for the relevant 

system wherever required. 

Viessmann expands its comprehensive 

product range 

The Vitocal 200-S is a valuable extension 

of the comprehensive product range from 

Viessmann. This offers individual solutions 

with efficient systems for any application 

and every type of fuel. As opposed to niche 

suppliers, Viessmann supplies all components 

and systems from a single source to the

Dual mode systems 

Dual mode heating systems: saving twice is better still 

Oil and gas prices continue to rise. So what should you do if you have purchased an 

advanced oil or gas boiler in the past few years? Simple – save a great deal with a dual 

mode heating system, and at the same time reduce emissions. 

A heat pump is the ideal way to extend the 

heat supply of an existing oil or gas heating 

system. Consumption costs are lowered 

through the use of free energy from the 

environment, causing a simultaneously 

reduction in dependence on fossil fuel. 

However, a dual mode heating system has 

even more benefits: 

n Oil storage space and amount of oil to be 

stored can be reduced 

n The operating times of the existing system 

are reduced so the service life is extended 

n Power for heat pumps can be obtained at 

special tariffs 

n The existing DHW heating system can 

continue to be used 

Little effort, great effect 

You only need: 

n Three-phase power supply with 400 V 

n Installation area for heat pump and heating 

water buffer cylinder, approx. 4 m2 n Radiator heating system < 65 °C 

n Boiler thermostat setting max. 65 °C 

n Options for drawing in outside and 

exhaust air when installed inside 

n Space to install the special heat pump 

meter 

n Power supply to the heat pump meter 

Vitocal 300-A utilises the outdoor air heated by the sun – and 

on cold days, a second heat source can be switched on 

automatically by the heat pump control unit.

VITOCAL 160-A 

DHW heating with central heating. 

Vitocal 160-A: heat pump for DHW heating 

The Vitocal 160-A heats DHW whilst saving 

energy and costs. As its heat source, it 

uses the warm air inside the building that is 

always around and is therefore ideally suited 

for use anywhere where heat is available 

in abundance, e.g. in bakeries. It can be 

operated completely independently of other 

heat sources. 

Compact DHW station utilises 

ambient heat 

The compact Vitocal 160-A DHW heat 

pump is equipped with all the components 

necessary for efficient and space-saving 

DHW heating. Together with the heat pump 

module (output 1.52 kW, COP = 3.54 at 15 °C 

air temperature and 45 °C water temperature), 

a 285 litre cylinder, a booster heater and 

the control unit are all integrated inside a 

single casing.

Various programs can be conveniently 

selected using the easy-to-use control unit 

with its large display. Whether for DHW 

heating, constant operation or standby mode 

– the various functions can be selected at a 

few keystrokes. 

Additional benefits of room cooling or 

controlled domestic ventilation 

The recirculation air heat pump, Vitocal 160-A, 

uses air straight from the room in which it 

is installed. As an extract air heat pump, it 

draws in warm extract air via ducts from other 

rooms, e.g. the bathroom, WC and kitchen. 

Part of the latent heat in this air is extracted, 

raised to a useful temperature level with the 

heat pump, and used to heat the DHW. 

The recirculating air heat pump then returns 

the cooled and dehumidified air to the 

installation room. That room can then be used 

as a cool larder for groceries. 

In case of an extract air heat pump, the cooled 

air is routed to the outside via an exhaust 

air duct. In conjunction with ventilation air 

apertures that ensure the supply of fresh 

outdoor air to the living space, the Vitocal 160- 

A becomes the central component of a 

controlled domestic ventilation system. 

This makes the Vitocal 160-A suitable for 

modernisation too.

Heat pumps 

Cooling with heat pumps 

The primary function of a heat pump is to provide pleasant and convenient heat, and 

reliable DHW heating. However, they can also be used to cool a building. 

Imagine a hot summer's day. Would you 

switch your heating on? Probably not, unless 

you have a Viessmann heat pump. After all, 

heating systems don't generally have much to 

do in summer – apart from heating DHW. It is 

different for heat pumps, as some Viessmann 

heat pumps also offer a cooling function as an 

additional benefit. 

Active or passive cooling 

When cooling with a heat pump, you can 

choose between two different methods: 

Passive cooling: 

This is where the brine medium or the 

groundwater absorbs the energy from the 

heating circuit via a heat exchanger and 

transfers it outside. This function is also 

called natural cooling, as it uses the natural 

ambient temperature. Apart from the 

control unit and circulation pump, the heat 

pump remains switched off. 

Active cooling: 

For this, the function of the heat pump is 

simply reversed. This method of cooling 

can be described as "reverse operation". 

This means that the refrigerant circuit is 

reversed internally or reversal is achieved 

by an external changeover of the primary 

and secondary circuits. As with a fridge, 

cooling is then actively generated by the 

heat pump. 

Cooling naturally: Natural cooling 

While the ground or groundwater is used 

in winter to provide energy for heating, in 

summer it can be used for natural cooling. 

With the natural cooling function, the control 

unit only starts the primary pump and heating 

circuit pump. This means the relatively hot 

water from the underfloor heating system can 

transfer its heat in the heat exchanger to the 

brine in the primary circuit. This extracts heat 

from all rooms that are connected. This makes 

natural cooling a particularly energy-efficient 

and affordable way to cool buildings.

Natural cooling 

NC-Box 

NC-Box – energy-efficient and 

affordable cooling 

The Viessmann NC-Box helps heat pumps to 

provide cooling in a completely natural way. In 

fact, it's really quite simple. On hot summer 

days, the temperatures inside your house are 

higher than in the ground or groundwater. 

The heat pump control unit then switches 

to natural cooling, and uses the ground or 

groundwater to dissipate the heat from your 

living space. 

Saving while cooling 

The natural cooling function does not use all 

the technology of the heat pump. This means 

that, apart from the control unit and circulation 

pumps, all other functions remain off. Only 

a very small amount of power is therefore 

consumed for operation. This makes natural 

cooling a particularly energy-efficient and 

affordable method for cooling buildings. 

The effective thermal insulation of the NC-Box 

prevents the formation of condensate. 

Everything you need to keep cool 

In the Viessmann "Natural Cooling Box", all 

components are prefitted. This makes the 

thermally insulated box not only compact, but 

also particularly simple and quick to install. 

With or without mixer 

Depending on the sort of cooling needed, the 

natural cooling box comes in two different 

versions, either with or without mixer. The 

integral mixer enables continuous operation 

without falling below the dew point.

Active cooling 

AC-Box – efficient heating or cooling 

The Viessmann AC-Box combines active 

cooling and natural cooling in your heat pump 

systems, thus making it even more versatile 

and convenient. Depending on how cool 

you would like your home to be, the system 

switches over automatically. If only a low 

cooling capacity is required, then natural 

cooling is adequate, but if that is no longer 

sufficient, active cooling is added. 

Cooling using tiny amounts of energy 

With natural cooling, the compressor circuit 

is not needed. Only the brine and heating 

circuit pumps are operational and utilise the 

temperature differential between the rooms 

and the ground or groundwater. This means 

they cool your home in a particularly costeffective 

way. 

AC-Box 

Keep cool when it gets really hot outside 

With active cooling, the compressor 

circuit starts to work. However, it does not 

provide heating – the internal control unit, in 

conjunction with the AC-Box, reverses the 

output and input functions and now actively 

transfers heat out of the building to the 

geothermal probe. Cold water now flows 

through the heating circuit itself – cooled 

down to 7 °C if required. 

Utilising extracted energy 

Incidentally, you can also make direct use 

of the heat transferred out of the rooms in 

this way, for example for DHW heating or to 

heat a swimming pool. This means you can 

combine the cooling and heating functions 

extremely effectively. 

Well developed technology: The 

AC-Box simply starts the heat pump 

function – depending on the 

required cooling capacity – either 

the active or the natural 

cooling function.

Domestic ventilation 

system 

Vitovent 300

VITOVENT 300 

Air quality makes a real difference to the quality of life inside our homes. For this however, 

an adequate air change rate is essential. However, modern construction practices do not 

make this easy, as buildings are designed to be as airtight as possible, to prevent heat 

loss. This is where the Vitovent 300 ventilation system comes in, creating a pleasant, 

healthy atmosphere in your room, without wasting energy. 

Air is considered to be fresh when its CO2 concentration falls below 0.1 percent by 

volume and it is free from odours. Opening 

the window to achieve this initially seems 

to be the best idea. However, window 

ventilation is a bit hit and miss. Either we 

ventilate too much and waste heating energy, 

or we ventilate too little and then feel tired 

and listless. In contrast, the Vitovent 300 

domestic ventilation system continuously 

replaces the air and removes odours and 

noxious substances. The result is a pleasant, 

healthy climate. 

Prevent mould, protect the building fabric 

One of the main causes of mould growth 

is humid indoor air. Caution: Not only does 

mould look unsightly, it is also unhealthy, both 

for yourself and for the fabric of your building. 

However, investing in a domestic ventilation 

system is cheaper than remedying building 

damage caused by fungal growth and mould. 

Allergy sufferers can breathe a sigh 

of relief 

A filtration system, employing an effective 

pollen filter (cat. F6), cleans the supply air 

of harmful substances. This allows allergy 

sufferers to enjoy fresh air too and reducing 

the growth of mites and mould fungus is 

beneficial for everyone. 

Enjoy security and quietness 

Vitovent 300 ensures a continuous air change 

– so windows can stay closed all year round. 

That doesn't just offer improved safety 

against burglary, but also keeps out any noise 

there may be outside.

Vitovent 300 

Ventilating virtually without energy loss 

Energy saving is Vitovent 300's trump card. 

The powerful heat exchanger recovers more 

than 90 percent of the latent heat contained in 

the stale air and uses it to heat the incoming 

air. Thanks to the very efficient DC motors, for 

each 1 kWh of electrical energy expenditure, 

15 times more heating energy is recovered. 

This means that in a living area of 150 m2 for example, you save around 300 l fuel oil 

each year. 

Cooling with night air 

In winter, the majority of the heat contained 

in the extract air is recovered through the 

heat exchange function. In summer, the heat 

exchanger is completely bypassed via the 

integral bypass damper. The temperature 

controlled bypass circuit allows cool outdoor 

air to enter the rooms at night, thereby 

ensuring a pleasant room climate.

The Fastflex flat duct system: 

space-efficient and easy to install 

The Fastflex system for air distribution is 

precisely matched to the Vitovent 300. For 

one thing, it makes it easier to install and 

set up the domestic ventilation system, 

and for another, it also saves space. Two 

floors can be supplied simultaneously via a 

single installation level. The flat ducts are 

so versatile that they can adapt to suit any 

structural characteristics and they are also 

particularly stable and can be routed below 

the screed in the floor insulation.

System technology 

A perfect match: System technology 

The convenient controls and perfectly matching Viessmann system technology 

offer you maximum reliability, flexibility and efficiency. 

Viessmann does not simply supply individual 

heating equipment components that 

correspond to its high standards of quality and 

reliability. The same high standards also apply 

to Viessmann system technology, where all 

components fit together perfectly. 

Part of the Viessmann system technology is 

the knowledge of what makes a reliable and 

economical heating system, namely the heat 

pump control unit with integral heat meter as 

the highly capable Vitocell DHW cylinders for 

optimum DHW convenience. 

DHW 

DHW convenience for 

every demand: 

With the Vitocell range of 

cylinders from Viessmann, 

you have an enormous 

choice and maximum 

scope when designing 

your heating system

System technology DHW 

The Vitocell range from 

Viessmann offers the right 

DHW cylinder for every 

aspiration. 

DHW convenience for every demand 

With the Vitocell DHW cylinders, Viessmann offers you the convenient solution to 

supplying your household with hot water – the perfect extension to your new heat pump. 

The demand for hot water is completely 

different in every household. One factor is 

the number of residents and another is their 

bathing and showering habits. For example, 

several people in one household frequently 

go to work and school at the same time, so 

lots of hot water needs to be continuously 

available for the shower in a short space of 

time. Those who prefer a bath will also want 

to have enough hot water to fill the tub. 

Finally, the DHW cylinder should be able to 

deliver sufficient water, if in an apartment 

block, hot water is being drawn from more 

than one outlet at the same time. The Vitocell 

DHW cylinders fulfil these requirements in 

every respect and are also robust enough to 

cope with constant demand.

Optimally matched for use with 

heat pumps 

Viessmann system solutions from a single 

source make it easy for you to utilise the 

energy from your heat pump to optimum 

effect, for example with a suitable DHW 

cylinder especially for heat pumps that are 

specifically designed for the requirements of 

detached and two-family homes when using a 

Vitocal 200, 300 or 350. 

DHW convenience that's as individual 

as you are 

The DHW cylinder is prepared for the 

connection of a solar thermal system or the 

installation of one or two additional electric 

booster heaters with up to 6 kW output for 

boosting the DHW temperature. 

Strong inner values 

Viessmann's product range includes the 

Vitocell 300 and Vitocell 100 product groups. 

All Vitocell 300 cylinders are made of 

stainless steel and meet the most stringent 

hygiene requirements. It is no coincidence 

that stainless steel is also used for its antibacterial 

properties in the processing industry, 

in kitchens and in hospitals. 

Alternatively, the inner surfaces of the 

Vitocell 100 are lastingly protected against 

corrosion with the proven Ceraprotect enamel 

coating. All DHW cylinders are fully equipped 

with high-grade insulation against heat loss. 

Internal indirect coils, drawn low down to 

the cylinder floor, enable quick and energyefficient 

heating of the entire cylinder content. 

Viessmann DHW cylinder Vitocell 100-V: 

perfectly designed for use with heat pumps 

Squeaky clean: The Vitocell 300 

DHW cylinders are made of 

stainless steel – a material 

that meets the highest 

hygiene standards.

System technology Data communication

Everything under control – from wherever you are 

Take advantage of the particularly convenient wireless digital TeleControl program from 

Viessmann to regulate your heating system. Naturally wireless and digital. 

Vitocom and Vitohome are our most 

convenient remote control products for 

your heating system. You communicate 

directly with the digital heat pump control 

unit, which can be matched to your 

individual requirements. 

Vitocom 100 

Vitocom 100 is the easy way to remotely 

monitor and control your heat pump via your 

mobile phone. This remote control is ideal 

for detached and two-family houses. It's also 

suitable for holiday and weekend homes that 

are not occupied all the time. On your way 

there, start up the heating system via your 

mobile and set the required temperature. 

It could hardly be any simpler or more 

economical. 

Vitohome 300 

Vitohome 300 is the ideal solution for 

centralised domestic automation. Set the 

precise temperature for every room and heat 

only where necessary and required. 

Vitohome 300 is easy right from the start. 

Components communicate by wireless 

signals, making it ideal for retrofitting, as no 

wiring is required. The heating system does 

not require any expensive conversions either. 

The system is based on the European KNX 

communication standard. This enables 

additional functions to be added with 

ease – even at a later stage. Your electrical 

wholesaler will offer you matching devices, 

such as window contacts, smoke detectors 

and controls for lighting and blinds. They 

offer optional simulation of a presence, 

and panic circuits. The result is not just 

improved convenience, but also a higher 

level of security. 

Vitohome 300 – the simple and convenient centralised 

domestic automation system controls the temperature curve 

in every room subject to demand, thus saving considerably 

on heating costs.

Futureproof heating technology for 

all requirements 

Energy consumption worldwide has doubled 

since 1970 and will triple by 2030. The 

result: The fossil fuels, oil and gas, are 

dwindling, energy prices are on the rise and 

excessive CO emissions continue to affect 

2 

our environment. Energy efficiency is a must if 

we want our future to be secure. 

In almost every industrial nation, supplying 

heat to residential and commercial buildings 

accounts for the largest share of energy 

consumption – consequently it also offers the 

greatest savings potential. Advanced efficient 

heating systems from Viessmann are in use 

around the world, not only in many private 

households, but also in numerous major 

international projects, where they make a 

sizeable contribution to the efficient use of 

energy resources. 

In these projects, Viessmann again and 

again faces up to the most varied challenges 

to supply efficient heating technology by 

offering innovative solutions – in historical 

listed buildings as well as in modern industrial 

complexes or in the large-scale residential and 

industrial arena.
