Viessmann adds Vitocal 200-A ie R290 heat pump

GERMANY: With the launch of the Vitocal 200-A intelligent energy (ie) R290 monoblock heat pump, Viessmann Climate Solutions says it now covers all market segments.

Developed and manufactured in Europe, the Vitocal 200-A intelligent energy achieves flow temperatures of up to 75°C. With an output range of 4kW to 12kW, it covers typical applications in single-family and two-family homes. 

Viessmann says that with this new introduction it now covers all market segments—from entry-level and mid-range to the premium segment with the Vitocal 250-A heat pump (model AWO-E AC 251.A1).

The new generation of units is said to be designed for convenient handling, reduced complexity, and easy transport. The outdoor units fit on a Euro pallet and weighs about 100kg. Key hydraulic components are now integrated into the outdoor unit, further reducing installation time.

At the same time, the company is launching One Base Intelligence, an advancement of the Viessmann One Base platform that intelligently connects products, energy flows, and extensions.

The Universal Controller intelligent energy complements the existing range of indoor units. It can be used either as a heat pump controller for the Vitocal 200-A intelligent energy with flexible on-site hydraulic connections, or independently of the heat pump as a control component for Viessmann Energy Management, for example to integrate a third-party photovoltaic system.
