VITOCROSSAL 300
The benefits at a glance:
H Vertical Inox-Crossal heating surfaces for
high operational reliability and long service
life.
– Easy dispersal of condensate through
vertical gas flues; therefore no
concentration of condensate.
– Increased self-cleaning effect through
smooth stainless steel surfaces.
H Highly efficient heat transfer and high
condensation rate through
– heat exchanger surfaces which intensely
turbulate the flue gas flow
– boiler water and hot gases flowing in
counterflow.
H Efficiency up to 98.3% through intensive
condensation. The flue gas temperature is
only approx. 9 - 27°F / 5 - 15°C above
boiler return temperature.
H Clean combustion – through perfect match
of burner and boiler, low combustion
chamber loading and straight-through
combustion chamber.
H Two return connections – providing
separate connection for heating circuits
with lower return temperature. This leads
to increased hot gas condensation.
H Easy handling in boiler rooms through
particularly low build height and weight;
also available in sections.
H Easy installation and elimination of wiring
mistakes with Viessmann prewired plug-in
system.
H Heating boiler, heating system control,
domestic hot water storage tank and all
other Viessmann system technology
components are co-ordinated to one
another. All components are
design-matched for quick installation.
H Economical and safe heating system
operation through Vitotronic digital control
system with communication capability.
Tailored to every need, covering all known
control strategies and applications.
Standard LON BUS for complete
integration into building management
systems.
Possible integration into the Vitocontrol
control panel.

System Design Considerations
Venting
The Vitocrossal 300 boiler is a category IV
positive pressure condensing boiler. Each
boiler must be vented individually.
Depending on the boiler return water
temperature, the flue gases in the boiler are
cooled down into the condensation or dew
point area of the flue gases. Where they exit
the boiler, they reach a relative moisture of
100%. The flue gas temperature is between
9°F and 27°F (5°C and 15°C) higher than
the boiler return water temperature.
Therefore, depending on the connected
heating system, the flue gas temperature
can be beween 77°F / 25°C and 200°F /
93°C. Due to the low flue gas temperature
and the resulting minute updraft conditions,
as well as the additional condensation of the
flue gases in the venting system, the vent
system must be properly designed and
suitable materials must be selected. The
chimney must be gas and water tight.
Use an AL29-4C® special stainless steel
venting system (UL/ULC/CSA listed for
category IV) for vertical venting of the
Vitocrossal 300 boiler.

Condensate and its disposal
During the operation of the boiler, the
amount of condensate to be expected can
be read from the diagram below.
The values given are approximate amounts
occurring under practical conditions. Not
included in the diagram is the amount of
condensate occurring in the vent pipe and
chimney system. The condensate from the
chimney system can be collected together
with the condensate from the heating boiler
and be disposed of into a floor drain. The
condensate will be between 3 and 4 on the
pH scale. If local building requirements
demand neutralizing the condensate before
disposal, contact Viessmann Manufacturing
Company Inc. for a correctly sized
neutralization tank. The treated condensate
will show pH values of between 6.5 and 9
and can then be disposed of into the waste
water system.

Design notes regarding draining
condensate
The condensate drain to the sewer
connection must be able to be inspected.
Route it with a gradient and equip the pipe
with a P-trap; also provide suitable facilities
for taking samples.
The bottom drain should be located below
the anti-flooding level of the flue gas
collector box.
Condensate drains must only be made from
corrosion resistant materials (e.g. fibre
reinforced hoses). Never use any galvanised
materials or those containing copper or
black iron for pipes, connectors, etc.
Install a P-trap in the condensate drain to
prevent flue gases from escaping.
Ensure that the domestic drainage systems
are made from materials which are resistant
to acidic condensate such as:
H Stoneware pipes
H Hard PVC pipes
H PVC pipes
H PE-HD pipes
H PP pipes
H ABS/ASA pipes
H Stainless steel pipes
H Borosilicate pipes
Combustion air supply
The boiler must not be located in areas or
rooms where chemicals containing chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, or other corrosive
chemicals are stored. Examples include
refrigerants, bleach, paint, paint thinner, hair
spray, cleaning solvents, water softener
salt, etc. The combustion air must not be
contaminated with any amount of the above
mentioned chemicals.
Boiler should never be installed in areas
where excessive dust, high humidity, or risk
of frost exist. Ensure adequate ventilation
and supply of fresh combustion air.
Consult your local Viessmann sales
representative with uncertainties in regard
to a suitable boiler installation location.
This boiler/burner unit needs clean fresh air
for safe operation. Provisions for
combustion and ventilation air must be
made at time of installation. For gas or
propane installations, use the “Natural Gas
Installation Code CAN/CSA-B149.1 or
B149.2” (Canada), or “National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1” (USA), and/or
provisions of local codes.
(continued)
The sizing methods outlined in the
aforementioned codes should be used when
installing a round duct to supply combustion
air from the outside.
Warranty
Our warranty does not cover damages
resulting from the following:
– Operation with contaminated fill and
supplementary feed water.
– Operation with contaminated combustion
air.
– Exposing the boiler to pressures and
tempratures higher than its certified rating.
See warranty sheet for details.
System layout
The boiler water temperature limit is factory
set to 167°F / 75°C.
The boiler water temperature limit can be
increased by altering the adjustable high
limit to increase the supply water
temperature.
To minimize piping losses of the system,
however, Viessmann recommends that the
radiation and domestic hot water production
in the system be designed for a 158°F /
70°C boiler supply water temperature.
Water quality
Treatment for boiler feed water should be
considered in areas with known problems,
such as where a high mineral content and
hardness exist. In areas where freezing
might occur, an antifreeze may be added to
the system water to protect the system.
Please adhere to the specifications given by
the antifreeze manufacturer. Do not use
automotive silicate-based antifreeze. Please
observe that an antifreeze/water mixture
may require a backflow preventer within the
automatic water feed and influence
components such as diaphragm expansion
tanks, radiation, etc. A 40% antifreeze
content will provide freeze-up protection to
-10°F / -23°C. Do not exceed 50%
antifreeze mix ratio and do not use
antifreeze other than specifically made for
hot water heating systems. System also
may contain components which might be
antifreeze manufacturer.
Oxygen diffusion barrier under
floor tubing
The boiler warranty does not cover pressure
vessel failure resulting from corrosion
caused by the use of underfloor plastic
tubing without an oxygen diffusion barrier.
Such systems without oxygen diffusion
barrier must have the tubing separated from
the boiler with a heat exchanger. Viessmann
always recommends the use of underfloor
plastic tubing with an oxygen diffusion
barrier.
Boiler/Burner start-up
Vitocrossal 300, CT3 boilers with
Weishaupt or Riello burners may require
start-up by Viessmann. Please inquire with
your local Viessmann sales representative to
obtain details regarding the necessary
prerequisites of boiler/burner start-up
procedures.
IMPORTANT
To minimize delivery lead times, please
ensure that critical technical information is
provided at time of order. Viessmann will
not process an order without site-specific
information regarding available voltage and
gas pressure. In addition Viessmann
recommends that gas pressure information
be provided in writing by the local gas
utility.

System Design Considerations
Sound attenuation
Please consult a professional engineer who
is specialized in noise attenuation for advice.
The burner/boiler systems, circulation
pumps and other auxilliary equipment used
in heating systems generate noise.
This noise is transferred from the boiler
room via floorboards, ceiling and walls to
neighboring rooms and via the flue gas
system as well as the ventilation air and
exhaust air apertures into other rooms and
into the open, where they may cause a
nuisance.
To avoid this from happening, additional
protective measures may be required which
should be considered at the design stage.
Subsequent measures to reduce noise
nuisance frequently require extensive effort
and expenditure.
Airborne noise attenuation
Frequently, modern boilers are equipped
with silencer hoods or sound insulated
ventilation air inlet housings. Additional
silencer hoods may be used where more
stringent anti-noise measures are required.
These measures may be implemented later
with a minimum of effort.
Silencer hoods are offered (usually by the
burner manufacturer) for various levels of
noise attenuation and are generally designed
and built in accordance with specific system
conditions (boiler type, fuel supply, building
characteristics).
(continued)
For larger systems, it may be necessary to
route the ventilation air through a
sound-insulated channel, in order to avoid a
noise nuisance outside the building.
Flue gas silencers are generally only required
where higher noise protection measures are
called for. Whether or not a flue gas silencer
is required can be predicted only with some
difficulties, because of the complexity of the
creation and propagation of flame noise, the
interaction between the burner, boiler and
the flue gas system as well as the operating
mode (flue gas system operating with
positive or negative pressure).
It is advisable, therefore, to assess the noise
emission into the neighborhood and to
consider the sound pressure level measured
at the flue gas system outlet. It should be
considered at the planning stage whether
silencers might become necessary later.
In planning for its possible use, it is
important that sufficient space for the flue
gas silencer is available behind the boiler.
Good engineering practice mandates that
the exhaust pressure drop of the silencer be
included in the vent size calculation.
Anti-vibration measures
Anti-vibration supports can be field supplied
as an economical and effective solution to
combat noise generated.
When sizing such supports, take the entire
operating weight of the boiler system and,
when using longitudinal anti-vibration
brackets, the condition of the supporting
surface into consideration.
Effective anti-vibration measures are
particularly important when installing boilers
into an attic. Compensators may be used to
physically separate the combustion
equipment from the building.
These should be installed into the boiler
flow, return and safety pipe and as near as
possible to the boiler.
Also insulate any braces or hanging
arrangements, if installed, against sound/
vibration transmission to the building.
Seismic restrainer
Viessmann offers an engineered seismic
restraining kit for compliance with local
seismic requirements for building and
structures. Please contact your local
Viessmann Sales Representative for more
details.
