Product Description

Vitosol 200-T (Stanbrook Abbey)

The Vitosol 200-T is a highly efficient tube collector with a time-saving and safe plug-in system for installation in any location.

Stylish tubes
The Vitosol 200-T direct flow vacuum tube collector will be noticed in any location because of its stylish design, and it can be used as an additional architectural element. The inconspicuous brown (RAL 8019) header casing made of aluminium contains highly effective thermal insulation as well as all connections for linking up further collectors or the central heating system.

Making the most of solar energy
To convert the maximum amount of solar energy into heat, every tube can be optimally aligned to the sun, which maximises the energy utilisation. The highly effective thermal insulation in the header casing minimises heat losses, particularly in the months of spring, autumn, and cold winter.

Quick and easy installation
The individual alignment of the tubes means the Vitosol 200-T can be universally installed vertically or horizontally on roofs, walls or freestanding. Standard installation material made of stainless steel simplifies collector installation. During maintenance, an innovative plug-in system allows tubes to be replaced easily without the need for tools. Even the time and effort for the necessary pipework is kept to a minimum. The connections for flow and return are integrated in the header casing, which greatly simplifies the successive installation of several collectors through corrugated stainless steel plug-in connectors.

Vitosol 100-F/Vitosol 200-F

For DHW heating
The Vitosol 200-F/100-F flat-plate collectors stand out because of their high quality, lasting operational reliability and high efficiency. They are particularly suitable for DHW heating.

Attractively designed, individual solar collectors
The Vitosol 200-F can be integrated into the roof cover. Optional edge trims help to create an harmonious transition between the collector surface and the roof. Upon request, frames are also available in special colours.

Weatherproof
The Vitosol 200-F casing consists of an all-round aluminium frame. The pane seal is endless, resilient, as well as weather and UV resistant.

Easy installation
The Vitosol 200-F/100-F are particularly easy to install. The integral flow and return pipes enable simple and secure installation. With the Vitosol 200-F larger collector arrays of up to 12 panels can be easily linked in parallel.

Tailor-made for every demand
With their absorber areas of 2.30 m², the Vitosol 200-F/100-F flat-plate collectors can be effectively matched to any energy demand. The collectors can be installed vertically or horizontally.

Vitosol 300-T

With the Vitosol 300-T, Viessmann offers a high performance vacuum tube collector that meets the highest demands for efficiency and safety.

The high performance Vitosol 300-T vacuum tube collector is based on the proven heat pipe principle. The preferred areas of application for the Vitosol 300-T include systems in which no heat is transferred over a prolonged period of high solar radiation. This includes school buildings, for example, in which no energy is required during the summer holidays. Here, the dry connection of the heat pipe tubes inside the header ensures particularly high operational reliability.

Heat pipe principle for high operational reliability
In heat pipe systems, the solar medium does not flow directly through the tubes. Instead, a process medium evaporates in the copper pipe below the absorber and transfers the heat to the heat transfer medium via a heat exchanger.

Duotec: Twice the benefit
The condensers are completely surrounded by the patented Duotec twin-pipe heat exchanger. This absorbs the heat particularly well and passes it into the heat transfer medium flowing past it.

Simple maintenance and installation
During installation, the collectors are rapidly interconnected through the proven stainless steel corrugated pipe plug-in connectors. The individual tubes can be precisely aligned with the sun by axial rotation. The tubes are connected in a dry state, i.e. without direct contact between the process and the heat transfer medium, thus ensuring a perfect tube connection. It is also possible, for example, to replace individual tubes when the system is already filled.

High-grade materials
High-grade, corrosion-resistant materials ensure safety, operational reliability and a long service life. Among other materials, glass, aluminium, copper and stainless steel are used.
