Wall-mounted series of gas boilers Viessmann Vitopend 100-W: main faults, owner reviews and instructions for setting up the device

European manufacturers of heating equipment are known throughout the world and are considered the undisputed leaders in this field.

High quality, advanced design solutions, and our own high-tech production make the products of European companies a standard for all other manufacturers.

] Viessmann[/anchor] was founded about 100 years ago and has managed to develop a lot of its own methods and production secrets.

Gas boilers occupy a special place in the company’s product range, since this method of heating homes is recognized as the most effective and economical.

Let's consider one of the series of wall-mounted boilers from this company.

Gas boilers Viessmann Vitopend 100-W

Wall-mounted gas boilers Viessmann Vitopend 100-W are a series of units designed for heating small and medium-sized rooms. The optimal use case is apartments, residential buildings, office, commercial or public premises with an area of ​​up to 340 m2.

The peculiarity of this series is its relatively low cost with full functionality and capabilities of the boilers.

It is possible to connect an external temperature sensor, which provides adjustment of the operating mode depending on the outside air temperature. It is possible to independently heat hot domestic water, or connect an external boiler, if necessary.

The boiler electronics have a built-in timer, with which you can program the operation of the installation for a week in advance. Low noise levels and the absence of foreign odors make the use of boilers in residential premises safe and comfortable .

Why does it go out?

There can be quite a few reasons for the self-extinguishing of gas boilers, from external factors to self-blocking of operation by a signal from the boiler automation.

Let's consider the most likely:

The reasons for self-extinguishing of the boiler can be interruptions in the power supply and poor supply ventilation . To determine the source of the problem, the most common factors should be consistently eliminated in order to identify the culprit of the boiler shutdown using a method of elimination.

Design options

There are different designs of Viessmann Vitopend 100-W boilers:

• Single-circuit. They are designated by the letters A1HB (for example A1HB001). They only heat the coolant for the heating circuit.
• Dual-circuit. These settings are designated A1JB (eg A1JB010, A1JB009). In parallel with heating the coolant, hot water is prepared for domestic needs.

All single-circuit boilers have the ability to connect an external boiler, which allows not only to heat the coolant, but also to supply hot water . At the same time, the volumes of hot water are much greater than what a standard plate heat exchanger of a double-circuit boiler can provide.

This is convenient if the room size is relatively small and the need for hot water is large.

Varieties

It was already mentioned above that boilers from this manufacturer can be chimney and turbocharged. In addition, they are divided according to several other criteria. Boilers can be double-circuit or single-circuit. Their fundamental difference lies in the number of contours, as the name implies. That is, a single-circuit boiler is responsible primarily for heating the room, and a double-circuit unit heats water for both heating and domestic needs. But if you have a single-circuit boiler, the problem of hot water can be solved by installing an indirect heating boiler.

Boilers can also be of a traditional type or condensing type. The principle of operation of a traditional boiler is quite simple - combustion products heat water and evaporate through the chimney. But the principle of operation of a condensing boiler is much more complicated - in this case, the combustion products condense, that is, turn into liquid. The design of such a boiler itself is much more complex. Also, such a boiler has a coaxial chimney, which consists of two pipes of different diameters that are inserted into one another.

One of the most famous is the Viessmann Vitopend 100 WH1D 263 boiler model.

This option has quite decent power - about 32 kW. This is a double-circuit boiler, which is used both for heating the house and for supplying hot water for domestic needs. The combustion chamber of this boiler is closed. The tank of the device has a large volume - 10 liters, as well as a powerful circulation pump with a safety valve. Such a boiler is guaranteed to heat the water to almost 80 degrees, and in a very short time. The price for this boiler varies within 45 thousand rubles.

Another gas boiler is the Viessmann Vitopend 100 WH1D 513.

The heat exchanger of this boiler is divided into two parts. One of them is made of high quality copper, and the second is made of stainless steel. Such separations are called “primary” and “secondary” heat exchangers. The power of this unit is high - 33-35 kW. This is a single-circuit boiler that is designed for heating. The approximate price will be 36-38 thousand rubles.

The next model is the Viessmann Vitopend 100-W A1HB

, which has a power of 24 kW. The boiler is single-circuit. This is a simple and convenient model with a high-quality chimney system, small dimensions and low noise level. The boiler is capable of heating water up to 80 degrees. The chimney diameter is 60/100. This is an excellent choice for heating a private home with a decent level of efficiency. The price for such a boiler will be approximately 39-40 thousand rubles.

Series models

The Viessmann Vitopend 100-W series has two model lines:

• Single-circuit boilers are designated by numbers from 001 to 004.
• Double-circuit boilers are designated by numbers 009-012.

Numbers 001, 002, etc. indicate the boiler power.

Each model is marked with its own digital code:

• Number 001 is assigned to a single-circuit boiler with a capacity of 24 kW.
• 002 - single-circuit boiler, power 29.9 kW.
• 003 - power 34 kW.

Double-circuit boilers start with number 009:

• 009 - 12 kW.
• 010 - 24 kW.
• 011 - 29.9 kW.
• 012 - 34 kW.

Codes 004 to 008 are assigned to ready-made solutions, sets of single- or double-circuit boilers and external water heaters.

Digital marking is convenient in that it allows you to shorten long symbols to three digits, which accurately indicate a specific boiler model. This is convenient for both technical personnel and retail chain workers, speeds up model identification and simplifies document flow .

Service

Maintenance requirements are quite simple, typical of all gas boilers:

1. Inspect all connections and components of the heating system and the boiler itself annually.
2. Every 2-4 years it is advisable to mechanically clean the heat exchanger, combustion chamber and burner module (the manufacturer recommends maintenance at least every 2 years).
3. Every 4-7 years we recommend cleaning the boiler heat exchanger to remove scale.

All points can be completed either independently or with the involvement of specialists (which, of course, is more effective and safer).

Specifications

Let's look at the general characteristics of the Viessmann Vitopend 100-W series boilers:

Peculiarities

The Viessmann Vitodens 100-W WB1C110 model has the following overall dimensions - 400x700x350 mm (WxHxD), while the weight is 37 kg. Installation is carried out on the wall, which saves space in the room.

To obtain the declared power of 35 kW, the pressure of natural gas must be at 31 mbar, and liquefied gas - 45 mbar (permissible), reducing these parameters will result in a decrease in thermal power. ExpertKotel.ru reminds that most often in domestic networks the pressure is 12-20 mbar. The efficiency of the installation, with such values, is declared to be at a very good level and amounts to 108.4%.

Operating principle and main parameters. The condensation type of device involves the generation of heat from gas combustion and from the condensation of water vapor on the internal walls of an additional heat exchanger - an economizer. With equal fuel combustion, these boilers are much more efficient than convection boilers. The fuel is natural gas (methane, consumption 3.5 cubic meters/hour), liquefied gas is possible, specifically a propane-butane mixture with a consumption 2.6 kg/hour.

Primary heat exchanger. In the case of the Viessmann Vitodens 100-W WB1C110, stainless steel is used, its advantages are good protection against corrosion, and due to the smoothness of the internal surface, there is less tendency to accumulate sediment and scale, unlike some aluminum ones, it is relatively inexpensive, only ordinary steel is cheaper, service life is approximately the same as that of simple steel: 5-20 years.

The circulation pump is designed to pump coolant (water, antifreeze) through the heating circuit; it is a mandatory component of a closed-type heating system; in our case, the pump is included in the kit.

The expansion tank is designed to compensate for the expansion of the coolant in the pipes during heating and releases it back into the system when cooling. This makes it possible to maintain constant pressure in the circuit.

Device

The design of wall-mounted boilers Viessmann Vitopend 100-W is in no way inferior to the most advanced modern developments of the most advanced manufacturers.

Main boiler components:

• Atmospheric type gas burner.
• Heat exchanger.
• Diaphragm expansion tank.
• Fan for removing combustion products.
• Hydraulic group consisting of a three-way valve, a secondary heat exchanger, a circulation pump and connecting pipelines.
• Electronic control board, sensor system, external panel with display.

The coolant enters the boiler from the heating circuit. As it passes through the heat exchanger, it heats up, after which it immediately goes to the secondary plate heat exchanger, where it transfers part of the thermal energy to heat hot domestic water.

Then, in a three-way valve, it acquires the temperature specified by the program, for which the hot and cooled return flows are mixed . After this, the liquid again enters the heating circuit.

The operation of all elements is constantly monitored by a system of sensors connected to the control board.

IMPORTANT!

Any error, malfunction, failure of a structural element is immediately recorded by the corresponding sensor, the signal from it is sent to the control board and displayed as a code on the display.

Why is blood pressure rising?

An increase in pressure in the boiler is a very dangerous sign . It indicates an increase in the volume of liquid and a lack of compensation from the expansion tank. A possible cause could be an open water supply valve.

If it is closed and working properly, then you should look for the problem in the expansion tank.

Water, like any other liquid, is practically incompressible . When heated, it expands, causing the pressure to increase significantly.

As pressure increases, it bends, allowing excess water to fit. However, if the tightness of the membrane is broken, the water will completely fill the volume of the tank and the excess liquid will have nowhere to go. This will cause a constant increase in pressure .

A sign of this may be the constant operation of the relief valve. The solution to the problem is to replace the expansion tank.

Operating instructions and malfunctions

The Viessmann Vitopend 100-W series boilers operate automatically. The owner can, if necessary, adjust the temperature, turn off the heating circuit or the entire boiler.

No special measures are required from it, except for periodic cleaning of the case from dust and dirt.

Any breakdown, error on the display or shutdown of the boiler is a reason to immediately call a technician from a service organization.

Please note that the appearance of an error on the panel can be caused by various reasons, so it is usually first reset by pressing the “R” button. If after several attempts the error does not disappear, you need to contact a specialist .

Any attempt to repair the boiler yourself is considered to be the end of the warranty period. You need to remember this and not take unnecessary risks.

Pressure drops

A drop in pressure indicates a leak. This could be a dump valve stuck open, a leak in the expansion tank or heat exchanger, or damage to the pipelines or radiators of the heating system.

Usually, all problems in the boiler itself are immediately noticeable by drops or puddles of water.

Finding a leak in the system is more difficult, especially if underfloor heating is used. The solution to the issue can only be to detect and eliminate the leak or replace the unit unit that has lost its seal.

How to set up the device correctly

The initial setting of the boiler is carried out at the manufacturer, about which the user is notified in the instructions attached to the boiler upon sale. Installation and ongoing settings are carried out by technicians from the service center, so the user can only change the operating mode in accordance with the microclimate of the room and his own feelings.

All control is concentrated on the external panel . By pressing the “mode” button, you select a mode, and use the up and down arrow buttons to set the appropriate temperature.

There you can also enable summer and winter operating modes (DHW only or DHW together with heating).

NOTE!

All actions are simple and intuitive; if necessary, you can consult the instructions, which explain everything in detail and with illustrations.

Doesn't start

Turning on the boiler is often immediately blocked by automation that detects problems in the system.

Boiler failure at startup can occur for several reasons:

You can figure out the gas or electricity supply yourself. People often forget to open the gas tap, or when connecting the boiler to the network, they use a regular socket, which makes it possible for the phase to be connected incorrectly.

Bleeding air from the system also does not cause any problems . All other problems can be solved only by contacting the service center.

You should not try to solve the issue on your own, since most often a lot of others are added to one problem, which requires expenses and does not guarantee a favorable result.

Price range

Prices for different models of Viessmann Vitopend 100-W boilers range from 40-57 thousand rubles. This cost does not include additional devices, such as a chimney (7-9 thousand rubles), voltage stabilizer, water filter, etc.

In addition, you will need to pay for delivery, installation, and a fee for drawing up a warranty agreement..

In remote areas prices will be increased due to shipping costs.

IMPORTANT!

You should not try to save on warranty service, since any breakdown may be too complex, and repairs will become an unwanted financial burden for the owner.

Visman boiler error f4 Leave a comment

In the manufacturer's instructions, on some thematic sites, the appearance of this code is explained by a burner malfunction. This is a simplified interpretation that does not allow the user to find ways to solve the problem. Error f4 of the Visman boiler is caused by a number of factors: external, malfunctions in the heating installation. Understanding its meaning, it is easy to eliminate the cause without contacting a service organization.

Error f4 on Viessmann boiler

Kinds

All Viessmann double-circuit boilers are wall-mounted. Floor-standing installations are single-circuit by default, although they have the ability to connect to an external storage tank or boiler.

They are equipped with an atmospheric partial mixing burner, which is capable of flexibly adjusting the amount of gas by partially mixing air.

There are two design options:

• Convection boilers. They work according to the traditional method, heating the coolant and releasing it into the heating system without additional procedures.
• Condensing units. Appeared relatively recently. The peculiarity of these installations is the preheating of the coolant using thermal energy obtained by condensing water vapor from the exhaust gaseous combustion products. Designed for use in low-temperature systems - heated floors, etc.

NOTE!

The efficiency of condensing boilers, declared by manufacturers, is up to 108%, which is impossible in practice and is a common marketing ploy. It is determined by adding the boiler efficiency and the maximum efficiency of the condensing chamber, which is incorrect from a theoretical point of view.
