New Viessmann Vitocal 060-AD thermodynamic water heaters: Compact and high-performance for guaranteed savings

A compact solution for domestic hot water production

With the Vitocal 060-AD range , Viessmann Climate Solutions offers three ready-to-install wall-mounted models. Each unit integrates the following under a single casing:

• another pompe à chaleur,
• un hot water tank,
• another preset regulation.

This monobloc design simplifies installation. It also reduces the space required in the technical room.

The stated dimensions are 547 × 492 × 1184 / 1384 and 1694 mm depending on the version. Three capacities are available: 80, 110 and 150 liters . This compact size meets the requirements of apartment buildings, single-family homes and small businesses.

Definition: What is a thermodynamic balloon?

Un thermodynamic balloon This is a water heater equipped with a heat pump. It captures the heat present in the air to heat the water. This technology consumes less electricity than a conventional electric water heater.
 

High energy efficiency

Performance is a central focus of this new offering.

When operating on ambient air , the stated coefficients of performance (COP) are:

• 3,25 for the 80L model,
• 3,42 for the 110L,
• 2,67 for the 150 L.

In outdoor air mode , the COPs reach:

• 2,91
• 2,79
• 2,59.

Energy efficiency is also high. With ambient air, it reaches 136%, 144%, and 116% depending on the capacity. With outdoor air, it reaches 121%, 118%, and 110%.

"These performance levels allow for immediate energy savings while limiting environmental impact."

These efficiency levels position the range as a relevant solution for replacing an existing electric water heater as part of a energy modernization.
 

Utilizing ambient heat

To optimize performance, the manufacturer recommends installation in a boiler room or technical room. These spaces often generate wasted heat.

The recirculation mode uses this energy to heat the water up to 65°C. At the same time, the device contributes to cooling the ambient air.

This feature is of particular interest in the commercial sector. Food and beverage storage facilities can benefit from this cooling effect.

"The system utilizes energy already available within the building, without any additional production costs."

Operates on outside air down to -7°C

Thanks to the addition of a specific accessory, the Vitocal 060-AD can operate on outside air down to -7°C.

In this configuration, the acoustic power level (Lw) is 50 dB(A). This corresponds to the sound level of soft music.

This data facilitates integration into individual housing or noise-sensitive commercial environments.
 

Natural refrigerant R290 and class A+

The new models are rated A+ for energy efficiency.

They use the natural refrigerant R290 , known for its very low global warming potential (GWP), on the order of 0,02. This technological choice reduces the climate impact related to the refrigerant.

The high-efficiency heat pump is Keymark certified . Furthermore, the manufacturer has awarded this range the Climate Protect+++ label , based on the TEWI (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) indicator. This indicator assesses the overall climate impact over the appliance's life cycle.

These elements meet the growing demands in terms of decarbonization of buildings and regulatory compliance.
 

Smart Grid and photovoltaic compatibility

The Vitocal 060-AD models are Smart Grid compatible . They can therefore use electricity self-produced by photovoltaic installations.

This feature is part of a self-consumption strategy . It allows for the optimization of the utilization rate of solar energy produced on site.

In a context of rising energy costs, this compatibility reinforces the economic interest of the product for owners and managers of commercial buildings.
 

Intuitive and preset regulation

The system is controlled via an integrated control element.

The regulation offers various basic programs. They are adapted to the needs of the occupants and their consumption profiles.

This ease of use facilitates system adoption. It also limits configuration errors during commissioning.
 

A solution suitable for both new construction and renovation

The product range targets two markets:

• la new constructionwith early integration into the local technical environment,
• la renovation, as a replacement for an existing water heater.

The wall-mounted format and all-in-one concept simplify installation. They reduce space constraints.

The suggested retail price starts at €1,800 excluding VAT for the 80 L model, excluding accessories, installation and commissioning.

For climate engineering professionals and specifiers, these characteristics constitute concrete technical and economic arguments.

The Vitocal 060-AD range combines compactness, energy efficiency, and reduced carbon footprint . It addresses current energy conservation challenges while offering a simple solution for integration into homes and businesses.
