Vitocal 200-A PRO: Series production of this large heat pump has begun
With the start of production of the Vitocal 200-A PRO, a new large heat pump is now available for commercial applications. The plan is to produce four-digit quantities per year.
- Air/water heat pump for commercial applications
- Four-figure volumes planned per year
- Also suitable for modernization projects thanks to high flow temperature
Landsberg am Lech/Allendorf (Eder), 12/3/2024 – The energy transition and the move away from fossil fuels is creating a growing need for heat pumps in commercial and industrial buildings. Viessmann Climate Solutions SE has built a new production line for the Vitocal 200-A PRO industrial heat pump at its location in Landberg.Series production of the air/water heat pump has now started with the capacity to produce the planned four-figure volume per year.
“The Vitocal 200-A PRO is a compact air/water heat pump that is suitable for heating, cooling and DHW generation both in residential buildings, schools and office buildings and in commercial buildings,” Markus Dönges, head of production management at Viessmann Deutschland GmbH, explains. “The volumes that can now be achieved in production make it even easier for us to cover the growing need for renewable energy systems for larger output ranges,” Dönges adds. The expansion of production also contributes to the Viessmann corporate mission statement: “We create living spaces for generations to come.”
Heat pump with high flow temperature for new builds and modernization projects
Vitocal 200-A PRO is available with rated outputs of 32, 64 and 128 kW and cooling output of 29, 58 and 117 kW. The system can be cascaded if a greater output is required. Flow temperatures of up to 65 °C enable use both in new and existing buildings.
Highly efficient scroll compressor and enhanced vapor injection permit high coefficient of performance
Highly efficient scroll compressors (with 1, 2 or 4 compressors, depending on the model) with multi-stage output matching, electronic expansion valves and the tried-and-tested process of enhanced vapor injection ensure low electricity demand and high coefficients of performance. Enhanced vapor injection, also known as EVI, involves a certain quantity of refrigerant being channeled off behind the condenser, evaporated in an additional heat exchanger and then injected directly into the compression process. This means that, even when outside temperatures are low, higher flow temperatures are achieved than with many conventional heat pumps, while also maintaining high coefficients of performance (COP) of up to 4.75 (at A7/W35 based on EN 14511).
High quality thanks to innovative manufacturing execution system
The particularly high quality and resulting long durability of the Vitocal 200-A PRO is guaranteedby features including the digital manufacturing executions system (MES) that Viessmann has implemented for the first time in Landsberg. It records and documents, among other things, all relevant production steps and enables a direct link as well as feedback to the serial number of the manufactured device. This provides live insights into the state of production and allows all essential assembly steps to be inspected at any time.
System control with Vitocontrol 200-M
Vitocal 200-A PRO can be connected to the tried-and-tested Vitocontrol 200-M – a modular, powerful system control unit with a graphical user interface – using an optional ModBus. The system control unit can be adapted to suit the customer’s specific requirements and shows clear performance and consumption data for the heat pumps and the energy system as a whole on the display.
