Hydraulic balancing - simple, quick and automatic

The hydraulic balancing of a heating system However, hydraulic balancing is often not
is necessary to ensure that all radiators in the done because it is a complex procedure
system are supplied with the exact amount of and requires a lot of time as well as expert
heat. knowledge.

This requires the ow rates in the heating circuit
piping, the output of the circulating pump and
the heating curve of the heat generator to be
adjusted very precisely. Subsequently, it is
ensured that no room is under- or oversupplied
with heat and that the energy is used in the
most efficient way.
An innovative solution is provided by the auto-
matic hydraulic balancing system, Vitoow.
Vitoow simplies and accelerates the
execution of hydraulic balancing and is one of
the most precise and reliable methods on the
market.

The energy efficiency of a heating system can

be increased by up to 15 percent therefore,
hydraulic balancing is one of the most efficient
methods of reducing heating costs and CO2 in
the long term.
Top Technology Hydraulic Balancing Vitoflow
For all heat generators up to 150 kW
Automatic hydraulic balancing of radiator
circuits can now be implemented with all
Viessmann heat generators up to 150 kW.
No specialist knowledge is required.
Energy consumption reduced
by up to 15 percent
Balancing optimises the settings of integrated
pumps and the heating curve, ensuring that
all radiators are supplied with the appropriate
amount of heat for the respective room. This
can reduce energy consumption by up to
15 percent, resulting also in a lowering of CO2
emissions.
Hydraulic balancing service case
consists of:
12 radio actuators
12 Danfoss thermostatic valve adapters
Radio module, radio repeaters and radio
antennas
Heat load calculator
Time saved through easy process
The time required for determining the default
settings on a system comprising ten radiators
is barely 30 minutes, in other words a fraction
of the time usually taken.
Apart from a laptop, contractors only require
the Viessmann service case with wireless
actuators, an extension kit (depending on
heat generator and heating system) and
Vitosoft 300 service software.
Hydraulic balancing extension kit
consists of:
Flow sensor with USB interface
Speed-controlled high-efficiency pump
Connecting cables and adapters
