German manufacturer enters UK off-grid oil boiler market
The Vitorondens 200-T floor-standing oil-condensing boiler features Viessmann’s bespoke two-stage Vitoflame blue flame condensing oil technology and is future-proofed against tightening OFTEC laws on NOx emissions that come into force on 26th September and are set to become more stringent in the next five years.
“The exceptionally high standards of the Vitorondens 200-T has been proven in Germany and other international markets for many years,” said Viessmann’s marketing director, Darren McMahon.
“The time is now right for the Vitorondens boiler to be more widely introduced into the UK as an alternative to biomass and LPG boilers for off-grid customers and where renewable options aren’t always ideal – for example, in older and less well insulated buildings which need a high-temperature heating system.”
The Vitorondens boiler complies with the new OFTEC requirement for maximum flue gas NOx emissions of 120mg/kWh and it will meet the even lower NOx emissions levels expected to be legislated in the next five years.
“This will be good news for our installers, to whom we now provide a complete product range and access to technology that’s easy to install, well-proven and future-proofed against future changes in legislation,” added Darren.
“Sharing the same connections as our Vitodens gas boilers, the Vitorondens 200-T can be installed via Viessmann’s time-saving four-pipe system, which has no need for cut-off valves or cylinder-overheat thermostats.”
