Homeowners who want to do something good for the climate at a manageable cost while also saving on energy costs are choosing the new Vitodens 200 generation.

Numerous new features make the devices even more appealing and easy to use for trade partners and users. This included several suggested improvements from the trade partners being developed for the Vitodens family relaunch and implemented this year.

New displays, additional functions

Even though most of the newly installed boilers are connected and are easy to control with the ViCare app, many trade partners and users still prefer to use the conventional operation directly on the heat generator. A 7-inch grayscale touch display is also available for the Vitodens 200 series as an alternative to the 3.5-inch standard display for exactly this purpose.

Functions such as the adjustment of high-efficiency pumps for continuous operation have been simplified to keep operating noise as low as possible and reduce energy costs. However, the commissioning of devices on the display or by using the ViStart app has also been improved.

Sustainable with an H2-ready certificate

Lambda Pro Plus combustion control adjusts the condensing boiler automatically to the fuel provided

Currently, up to 20 percent of green hydrogen is already being added to natural gas to reduce CO2 emissions as quickly as possible and combat climate change. The new Vitodens 200 generation is already certified for operation with this volume of hydrogen and could even easily convert up to 30 percent into heat in an efficient and climate-friendly manner.

The Lambda Pro Plus combustion control then adjusts the condensing boiler automatically to the fuel provided. This also applies to biomethane or liquid gas.

The right solution for every requirement

With outputs of 2.5 to 32 kilowatts (Vitodens 242-F up to 19 kilowatts), the new gas condensing boilers of the Vitodens 200 series are equally suitable for new or existing buildings:

  • Vitodens 200-W, the space-saving wall-mounted boiler that can serve as a system or combi boiler,
  • The wall-mounted compact boiler Vitodens 222-W, with an integrated stainless-steel primary cylinder with a capacity of 46 liters for a high level of hot water convenience,
  • The floor-standing compact boiler Vitodens 222-F can optionally be equipped with an integrated 100-liter primary cylinder or with a 130-liter coiled tube DHW cylinder for areas with hard drinking water and
  • The compact energy center Vitodens 242-F with a 170-liter solar cylinder and all relevant components for connection with solar collectors.

simple, intuitive operation

These new devices provide homeowners and specialist partners with genuine value relative to traditional heat generators. 

The benefits are simple, intuitive operation through a height-adjustable display, innovative digital control based on the new electronic platform with integrated WLAN for convenient management through the ViCare app and simple commissioning with the new Vitoguide, increased security from the option of remote maintenance by a selected specialist partner with Vitoguide and, last but not least, a highly efficient, environmentally friendly and reliable gas condensing technology.

Low emissions and high degree of efficiency

The MatriX-Plus burner in the new Vitodens 200 generation ensures maximum efficiency and reliability

The MatriX-Plus burner in the new Vitodens 200 generation ensures maximum efficiency and reliability. With a modulation range of up to 1:13 (Vitodens 242-F 1:8) with maximum flame stability, it continuously adjusts heat generation according to current needs.

This serves to reduce the cycling of the burner to a minimum, achieving a high standard utilization rate of up to 98 percent (Hs). The proven stainless-steel radial heat exchanger made from rust-free stainless steel transfers the heat generated by the MatriX-Plus burner to the heating system.

Simple commissioning via the app

Several additional features of the new Vitodens 200 series substantially simplify the commissioning and maintenance of the devices.

The commissioning assistant integrated into the new electronic platform takes the installer through the entire process in just a few steps. This not only ensures a simple and error-free process but also saves a considerable amount of time.

Quick and smooth start-up procedure

No internet interface is necessary, since the connection takes place directly through the heat generator’s WLAN interface

The start-up procedure can also be carried out just as quickly and smoothly but even more conveniently via the ViStart app or the new Vitoguide which is also available for mobile use.

Following activation of the Wi-Fi access point integrated into the device, the app automatically forms a direct connection with the heat generator and guides the specialist partner through the entire process. No internet interface is necessary, since the connection with the control unit takes place directly through the heat generator’s WLAN interface.
