2 VITOROND 200, VD2A
VITOROND 200
The Vitorond 200 is a triple-pass sectional
cast iron oil-/gas-fired boiler for commercial
heating applications.
Its Eutectoplex heat exchanger provides high
operational reliability and a long service life,
while the triple-pass design ensures
efficient, low-emission combustion.
The VD2A Series features Therm-Control
integrated low-temperature protection logic
and a redesigned return water distribution
system for a simplified design and system
integration.
The benefits at a glance:
H Efficient and reliable operation. Modulated
boiler water temperatures help conserve
energy by closely matching system output
to actual demand. Viessmann system
controls ensure consistent, maximum
system efficiency.
Combustion efficiency up to:
- oil 87.7%.

- gas 85.2%.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
H Simplified design and system integration
with Therm-Control integrated
low-temperature protection logic,
eliminating the need for a low-temperature
protection package or shunt pump.
No minimum boiler return water
temperature when used with Viessmann
Vitotronic controls.
H Simplified water connection. Wide water
galleries and a large water content provide
excellent natural circulation and a reliable
heat transfer. No minimum heating water
flow rate required.
H High operational reliability and a long service
life are achieved by the special Eutectoplex
gray cast iron heat exchanger. A uniform
heat transfer and controlled water flow,
together with inherent characteristics of the
cast iron sections, eliminate stress fractures,
counteract the formation of condensate and
extend the lifecycle of the boiler.
H Low environmental impact thanks to
low-emission combustion achieved by the
boiler’s triple-pass design.
H Problem-free transport into
difficult-to-access boiler rooms thanks to
sectional construction and low weight of
individual sections. The Fastfix system
facilitates a quick and easy installation.
H Simple, quick assembly of the individual
cast iron sections with new
tongue-and-groove system with silicone
sealant. The gasket seal is secured in
place by the double groove, and therefore
not subject to mechanical stresses.
H Easy cleaning access facilitated by a
hinged left- or right-swing combustion
chamber door providing easy access to all
three flue gas passageways from the front
of the boiler, reducing side clearance.
H Efficient and safe operation of the heating
system with Vitotronic digital boiler and
heating system controls. Tailored to suit
every requirement, these controls cover all
known control strategies and applications.
Standardized LON BUS enables complete
integration into building management
systems. Optional integration into the
Vitocontrol control panel.
H Consistent and reliable DHW production
with indirect-fired Vitocell 100 steel or
Vitocell 300 stainless steel tanks.
Tanks may be combined into multiple-tank
batteries for applications requiring larger
quantities of hot water.
H Comprehensive standard equipment saves
valuable time in installation and sourcing
of product. The supply and return header
system is pre-built for left or right
connections and positions components
properly.
H Boilers, controls, domestic hot water
tanks, and heating system components
are design-matched to work together. All
components are compatible and are
therefore quickly and easily installed.

Waterside Flow
The Vitorond 200 boiler is designed for closed loop, forced
circulation, hot water heating systems only.
The recommended water flow rate through the Vitorond 200
is based on a temperature difference of between 20°F and
40°F / 11°C and 22°C (see table below). When a balancing
valve is used for proper balancing and water flow through the
boiler, the valve should be installed 5 pipe diameters from any
fittings and 10 pipe diameters from circulation pumps to allow
for laminar flow.
The consulting engineer or contractor should review the
system design if more balancing valves are required to
properly balance the system.
Viessmann can supply TA (Victaulic) balancing valves upon
request. The balancing should be carried out by a certified
balancing firm prior to boiler start-up. Please contact
Viessmann for your closest certified balancing firm.

VITOROND 200, VD2A 11
New Casting Design and Therm-Control Functionality
A specific, matching boiler control is part of the standard equipment of the Vitorond 200, VD2A.
Boiler protection is assured by the following:
- Therm-Control logic
- Control of a shunt pump
- Flow rate reduction in the heating circuits
- Constant return temperature control
The cast iron mid-sections were re-designed
to increase the heat exchanger surface area
and water volume, and the number of cast
iron sections was reduced by one section.
Together with the redesigned return water
distribution system and the Therm-Control
low-temperature protection logic, this
eliminates the need for a minimum return
water temperature.
The larger water volume and increased
width of the flue passages also ensure even
heating of the water and reduced burner
cycling.
A new tongue-and-groove system with
silicone sealant replaces the fiber-rope seal
between sections used with the VD2 Series.
Redesigned Return Water Distribution System
System return water enters the cast iron
sections of the VD2A boiler via a return
water distribution tube now located at the
top of the cast iron block (see Fig. 8).
Heated supply water flows at the bottom of
the cast iron block towards the rear section
and upward to the supply connection. The
return water temperature is elevated when
passing through the rear cast iron section
where the supply water flows upward to the
boiler supply connection.
The pre-heated return water is then
distributed to the cast iron sections through
two upward-pointing openings in the
distribution tube at each section. The size of
the opening is proportional to the amount of
heat input of each cast iron section. In each
section the return water flows downward
and mixes with heated water. Once fully
heated, the supply water flows through the
bottom of the cast iron block up the rear
section and out the boiler supply to the
system.
The even temperature distribution ensured
by this design reduces the thermal stress on
the heat exchanger and, in conjunction with
the Vitotronic Therm-Control logic, prevents
the formation of flue gas condensate at all
return water temperatures, eliminating the
need for a shunt pump or return temperature
elevation provided by a Low Temperature
Protection (LTP) Package.

Technical Data
12 VITOROND 200, VD2A
Therm-Control Low-Temperature Protection Logic
Fig. 9
A specific, matching boiler control is part of
the standard equipment of the Vitorond
200, VD2A. Boiler protection is assured by
the following:
H Therm-Control logic
H Control of a shunt pump
H Flow rate reduction in the heating
circuits
H Constant return temperature control
Therm-Control is an integrated
low-temperature protection logic provided by
the Vitotronic, GC1 control.
The control uses a Therm-Control
temperature sensor specifically positioned in
the casting close to the boiler return (shown
in Fig. 8 on page 11) to capture the thermal
state of the boiler (i.e. the temperature of
the system return mixed with the boiler
water) and react as early as possible. The
Therm-Control Logic shuts off the system
pump (and, if applicable, closes the mixing
valve) and brings the burner to full fire until
the boiler minimum setpoint temperature is
reached during start-up, preventing the
formation of flue gas condensation and
allowing for maximum heat transfer to the
system.
This ensures steady supply temperatures
with only minimal fluctuations, and
eliminates the need for a shunt pump or
return temperature elevation provided by a
Low Temperature Protection (LTP) Package.
Example:
Take a heating system with one heating
circuit and a mixing valve.
In the start-up phase, the set Therm-Control
temperature is not achieved at the
Therm-Control sensor.
The mixing valve downstream of the boiler
receives a signal via the control to reduce
the flow rate and to operate the burner at
full fire (Phase 1 shown in Fig. 9). The boiler
temperature and that captured by the
Therm-Control sensor now rapidly rise. The
mixing valve opens when the set
temperature is exceeded at the
Therm-Control sensor, and the flow rate (in
this example 50 %) inside the boiler is
steadily increased (Phase 2).
The return water temperature rises after
a certain time has elapsed which is a
function of the system water volume. As the
return temperature rises, the mixing valve
opens further until the maximum flow rate
(100%) is achieved. Now the control will
modulate the burner firing rate to achieve
the required setpoint (burner modulation),
and weather-responsive boiler water
temperature modulation will take place.

H Therm-Control for operating boilers
without low temperature return package.
Function description
The Therm-Control will affect the heating
control unit(s) or the heating circuit pump(s),
if the factory-set temperatures are not
reached at the Therm-Control temperature
sensor. In the start-up phase (e.g. during
commissioning or after a night or weekend
shutdown), the boiler water flow rate must
be reduced by at least 50%.
The boiler is protected to an optimum level
when using the Vitotronic 300, GW2 model
or if the heating circuits are regulated via a
Vitotronic 200-H connected to the boiler
control unit. No additional on-site protective
measures are required.
When it is impossible to reduce the boiler
water flow rate, e.g. in older systems, we
recommend contacting Viessmann for other
possible piping layouts.
No minimum return water temperature
needs to be maintained. Shunt pumps and/or
boiler circuit pumps/costly mixing valves are
not required for elevating the return
temperature.
DHW heating
The DHW is heated up when the actual
temperature falls below the DHW
temperature selected for the tank
temperature sensor, subject to tank heating
being enabled by the time switch.
The boiler water temperature is raised to the
set DHW temperature +20 K / 36ºF and the
tank primary pump is started, if the boiler
water temperature is 7 K / 12.6ºF above the
actual DHW temperature.
The heating circuit pumps M2 and M3 are
closed, subject to absolute priority being
enabled, if the heating circuits are regulated
via the Vitotronic. Subject to modulating
priority, the heating circuit pumps M2 and

System Design Considerations
Burner Calibration
With 2-stage and fully modulating
burners, ensure that the chimney is
compatible with the lower flue gas
temperatures associated with partial load
conditions set on the burner.
Never operate boiler without an installed
venting system which safely vents all
products of combustion to the outdoors.
The vent system must comply with all
applicable local and/or national codes.
Vitorond 200, VD2A boilers are Category I
and III boilers as defined in ANSI Z21.13
when used with natural gas and LP. Venting
systems shall be sized and constructed in
accordance with approved engineering
methods (ASHRAE, HVAC Systems and
Equipment Handbook, Chapter 31
“Chimney, Gas Vent, and Fireplace
Systems”) including the chimney and boiler
manufacturer’s instructions.
In Canada
For gas-fired boilers install venting system in
accordance with all applicable local codes.
In the absence of local codes, follow
national codes CAN/CSA B149.1 or .2 or
latest edition.
For oil-fired boilers follow CSA B-139 or
latest edition.
In U.S.A.
For gas-fired boilers connecting to gas vents
or chimneys, vent installations shall be in
accordance with Venting of Equipment of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or
applicable provisions of the local building
codes.
For oil-fired boilers follow NFPA 31. Always
use latest code editions.
Venting (option #1)
The Vitorond 200, VD2A boiler is approved
as a Category I appliance and must be
vented accordingly.
Chimney
For proper operation of the Vitorond 200,
VD2A boiler, all products of combustion
must be safely vented to the outdoors, while
ensuring that flue gases do not cool
prematurely.
It is critical that the chimney system be
properly designed to handle the relatively
cool flue gas temperatures produced by the
Vitorond 200, VD2A boiler.
If the chimney system lacks sufficient
insulation and/or the chimney diameter is
too large, corrosive and damaging
condensation will result due to flue gases
cooling too quickly. If a calculated chimney
diameter lies between two values, the larger
diameter should be selected.
The chimney connection length between the
boiler vent pipe collar and the chimney must
be installed with insulation.
Vent pipe collar diameter does not
automatically indicate vent/chimney size.
We recommend consulting a reputable
chimney installer for advice in
project-specific circumstances.
When installing the Vitorond 200, VD2A
boiler, it is necessary to install a barometric
draft regulator in the chimney/vent for
proper operation of the boiler.
Install the barometric draft regulator within
5 to 7 ft. / 1½ to 2 m from the breeching
outlet located at the rear of the boiler.
Barometric draft regulator type
For natural gas or propane applications, use
a double-acting type. For #2 fuel oil
applications, use a single-acting type.
Barometric draft regulator diameter
The barometric draft regulator must be the
same diameter opening as the chimney for
which the vent is sized.
For example, a 14” chimney would require a
14” barometric draft regulator. Do not size
the barometric draft regulator to the
breeching outlet of the boiler, unless the
chimney is also intended to be of that
diameter.
The size of the flue gas outlet on the boiler
does not automatically determine the
horizontal breeching, or the actual chimney
diameter. The chimney size must be
designed for the actual boiler model and its
input.
Venting (option #2)
The Vitorond 200 boiler is a Category III
positive pressure non-condensing boiler.
Each boiler must be vented individually.
The vent system must be properly designed
and suitable materials must be selected. The
chimney must be gas tight.
Use an AL29-4C® special stainless steel
venting system (UL/ULC listed for Category
III) for single-wall vertical venting of the
Vitorond 200 boiler.
For more details on the positive pressure
venting option, see the Viessmann
installation instructions for the positive
pressure venting system.

System Design Considerations (continued)
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 Viessmann 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 in accordance with applicable local
codes. In the absence of local codes, use
CAN/CSA-B149.1 or .2 Installation Codes
for Gas Burning Appliances for Canada. For
U.S. installations use section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, of the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
For oil burning installations use CSA B-139
for oil installations in Canada and NFPA 31
Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning
Equipment in the US. Always use latest
editions of codes.
Whenever possible, install boiler near an
outside wall so that it is easy to duct fresh
air directly to the boiler area. Refer to
national codes for duct sizing and allowable
lengths. Round ducts can be used.
The boiler location must never be under
negative pressure. Exhaust fans, attic fans,
or dryer fans may cause air to be exhausted
at a rate higher than air can
enter the
structure for safe combustion.
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 and freeze protection
Treatment for boiler feed water should be
considered in areas of 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 use antifreeze other
than specifically made for hot water heating
systems. System also may contain
components which might be negatively
affected by antifreeze. Check total system
frequently when filled with antifreeze.
Follow the instructions of antifreeze
manufacturer.
Oxygen diffusion barrier
underfloor tubing
The boiler warranty does not cover leaks
resulting from corrosion caused by the use
of underfloor plastic tubing without an
oxygen diffusion barrier. Such systems must
have the tubing without oxygen diffusion
barrier separated from the boiler with a heat
exchanger. Viessmann recommends the use
of underfloor plastic tubing with an oxygen
diffusion barrier.
Factory prewired components
Custom factory prewiring by Viessmann
ensures optimal functionality, compliance
with regional requirements, and ease of
installation in the field. Pricing provided by
Viessmann includes all necessary hardware
items such as junction panel, burner power
supply, boiler door safety switch (where
necessary), and all essential pressure
switches, as well as interconnection with
conduit between control and burner.
Electrical drawings provided upon product
delivery.
Boiler/Burner start-up
Vitorond 200, VD2A boilers with Weishaupt
burners require start-up by Viessmann.
Please inquire to obtain details regarding the
necessary prerequisites of boiler/burner
start-up procedures.
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 (continued)
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 minimal 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).
For larger systems, it may be necessary to
route the ventilation air through a
sound-insulated channel, in order to avoid
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 difficult to predict,
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 buildings and
structures. Please contact your local
Viessmann Sales Representative for more
details.
Warranty
Our warranty does not cover damages
resulting from the following:
– Corrosion caused by flue gas condensation
due to low boiler water and/or return
water temperatures.
– Operation with contaminated fill and
supplementary feed water.
