Vitocal 262-A: the hot water heat pump is setting new benchmarks in terms of efficiency and climate protection
Regardless of the current weather, time of day or season, Vitocal 262-A produces warm drinking water in a highly efficient process using free heat from the building’s immediate surroundings or from the outside air. This makes the hot water heat pump the ideal solution for modernizing an existing heating system and reducing its CO2 . The new versions of the hot water heat pump now work with the natural refrigerant R290 and are compatible with the Viessmann One Base.
Climate-friendly and sustainable thanks to a natural refrigerant
The heat pump uses heat from the outside air or from the recirculating or extract air within the building. The new cooling circuit is setting benchmarks in terms of efficiency and climate protection. It is filled with the natural refrigerant R290, which has a very low GWP100 (global warming potential) of 0.02. This means that the heat pump achieves a high COP (coefficient of performance) of up to 4 (in air recirculation mode) and is particularly efficient and economical. The new refrigerant also makes the system particularly sustainable. As a result, the heat pump meets the requirements set out in the European F-gas Regulation, which apply beyond 2030.
Viessmann One Base for seamless energy solutions
The hot water heat pump can be particularly environmentally friendly when running on self-generated electricity from a photovoltaic system. It is also compatible with the innovative Viessmann One Base platform, which seamlessly connects products and systems from Viessmann’s Integrated Solution Offering with digital services. This enables convenient operation by users via their smartphones and the, ViCare app as well as straightforward commissioning, comprehensive system monitoring and remote maintenance by the commissioned specialist companies using the ViGuide. This means that users are always in control of economical DHW generation.
Three versions of the hot water heat pump to meet all requirements
Three versions of Vitocal 262-A are available, allowing almost all requirements for convenient and energy-saving DHW generation to be met:
- For mono-mode operation, the heat pump (type T2E-R290) is equipped with a factory-fitted dry immersion heater. This system features a 300-liter DHW cylinder.
- Alternatively, there is a hybrid version with an integrated coiled tube heat exchanger (type T2H-R290). It is recommended for retrofitting and upgrading existing systems and can be retrofitted at any time to feature an immersion heater.
- An external Vitocell cylinder (160 to 500 l capacity) is recommended for the wall-mounted version (type T2W-R290).
All three versions are offered in a timeless design with a Vitopearlwhite coating. This makes the hot water heat pump suitable for installation even in areas that are close to living spaces.
