Freshwater module
Freshwater module for DHW heating using the instantaneous water heating principle, draw-off rate up to 68 l/min depending on model
High draw-off rate
This makes it versatile, e.g. in detached/two-family houses, sports facilities, care homes
Instantaneous water heating principle
Fresh DHW is always available, no storage is required
Quick and easy wall or cylinder mounting
Thanks to pre-installed module – control unit and high efficiency circulation pump are integrated and connected
Compact design
This makes it easy to integrate into the existing heating system with heating water buffer cylinder
Can be linked in cascade
With no additional external control unit (types PBMA, PBMA-S, PBLA and PBLA-S)
Low flow temperature required
Thus ideal for integration in low temperature heating systems with solar thermal systems
Vitotrans 353 freshwater modules
Freshwater modules offer convenient and hygienic DHW heating according to the instantaneous water heating principle. Unlike conventional DHW cylinders, the water is not used for storing thermal energy, but instead is only heated when required, by means of a powerful plate heat exchanger.
The energy for this DHW heating is drawn from a heating water buffer cylinder, which can be heated by a wide range of systems – by solar thermal systems, solid fuel boilers, conventional oil/gas boilers, heat pumps or other systems.
Hygienic DHW heating using the instantaneous water heating principle
The Vitotrans 353 can ensure a constant outlet temperature at the hot water tap at varying draw-off rates. High efficiency circulation pumps of the latest generation are speed-controlled by an integral control unit so that the heating water flow rate is always at the optimum level for the current draw-off rate.
The five Vitotrans 353 types offer perfect convenience, optimum hygiene and forward-looking energy saving operation.
Product series for wall mounting
- Type PBSA, 25 l/min draw-off rate
- Type PBMA/PBMA-S, 48 l/min draw-off rate
- Type PBLA/PBLA-S, 68 l/min draw-off rate
DHW circulation series for installation on the heating water buffer cylinder
- Type PZSA, 25 l/min draw-off rate
- Type PZMA, PZMA-S, 48 l/min draw-off rate
New to the proven Vitotrans 353 is a version with a nickel-soldered plate heat exchanger. This alternative to the copper version, which is still available, can be installed wherever there is a susceptibility to copper corrosion due to the water quality.

Freshwater modules for wall mounting
Freshwater modules for wall mounting with types PBSA (25 l/min draw-off rate), PBMA/PBMA-S (48 l/min draw-off rate) and PBLA/PBLA-S (68 l/min draw-off rate), are delivered without DHW circulation pump and can be retrofitted with a DHW circulation set (accessory) inside the thermal insulation. Furthermore, it is possible to use a return distribution set (accessory) via a 3-way diverter valve installed near the heating water buffer cylinder.
In order to increase the draw-off rate, it is possible to interconnect up to four identical modules of type PBMA/PBMA-S and PBLA/PBLA-S to form a cascade. No additional control unit is required, as the integral control units communicate with each other via a BUS cable.
Freshwater modules in DHW circulation series
Further models are available in the DHW circulation series for installation on the heating water buffer cylinder. Models PZSA (25 l/min draw-off rate) and PZMA/PZMA-S (48 l/min draw-off rate) are delivered from the factory with an installed DHW circulation set as well as a return distribution set for quick and simple cylinder mounting.
Freshwater modules in DHW circulation versions can be combined with the following Vitocell heating water buffer cylinders:
- Vitocell 100-E
- Vitocell 120-E
- Vitocell 140-E
- Vitocell 160-E
