System Design Considerations
Note: The amount of condensate and the flue gas temperature gross” graphs are independent of each other.
Condensate and its disposal
During the operation of the boiler, the amount of condensate to be expected
can be read from the above diagram. 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 galvanized 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:
- Stoneware pipes
- Hard PVC pipes
- PVC pipes
- PE-HD pipes
- PP(s) pipes
- ABS/ASA pipes
- Stainless steel pipes
- Borosilicate pipes
Venting options
PP(s) (Polypropylene) flue gas/fresh air system for room air independent
operation (sealed combustion), and PP(s) flue gas for room air dependent
operation are tested to ANSI Z21.13 – CSA 4.9 (latest edition) standards and
are certified together with the Vitocrossal 200 boiler as a constructional
unit. The Vitocrossal 200 boiler may also be vented using an special stainless
steel, single-wall, (UL listed for category IV). The boiler may be vented
horizontally through the side wall or vertically through the roof. For a more
detailed description of the direct vent and single-wall vent system, please
refer to the Vitocrossal 200 Installation Instructions venting section.
System Design Considerations
Use ULC S-636 / UL 1738 certified for category IV boilers. The following
vent system suppliers may be contacted for assistance in designing the
appropriate stainless steel venting system for Vitocrossal 200 CM2 boilers.
For sealed combustion systems that are vertically vented, a Viessmann vacuum
relief damper may be needed to protect the vent system against vacuum
conditions. This very rare occurrence can happen when a boiler is firing at
maximum capacity and the burner cycle is suddenly interrupted.(ie. power
failure) For more information on this device, or questions specific to your
application, please consult with the vacuum relief damper installation
instructions or contact your local Viessmann representative.

System layout
The boiler max. water temperature limit is factory set to 203°F (95°C). 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.
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 bleach, refrigerants, 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. Boilers 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.
Boiler operation in marine environments (damp, salty coastal areas):
The service life of the boiler’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing
and fan housing, is directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine
environments. In such areas, higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea
spray, coupled with relative humidity, can lead to the degradation of the
exposed metallic surfaces mentioned above. Therefore, it is imperative that
boilers installed in such environments not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such boilers must be installed
using room air-dependent vent systems; i.e. using room air for combustion. The
indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence, the corrosion
will be minimized. 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. 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 temperatures higher than its certified rating See warranty sheet for details.
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, it is recommended that an antifreeze be added to
the system water for protection against freezing. 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 back flow 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.
Total output (MBH) | Total Hardness (ppm as ca CO 3) |
---|---|
> 1 Total – 680 | – 200 |
> 680 to – 255 | – 150 |
The pH value of the heating water should be between 8.2 and 9.5
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 200, CM2 boilers with Viessmann cylinder burners does not require
start-up by Viessmann.
Sound attenuation
Please consult a professional engineer who is specialized in noise attenuation
for advice. The burner/boiler systems, circulation pumps and other auxiliary
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. 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. Flexible couplings 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.
