Offers further benefits
Vitomax HW-E –– purely electric hot water generation for a wide range of applications
With the Viessmann Vitomax HW-E electric boiler for generating hot water for industrial and commercial applications, you are taking a step in the right direction towards the energy transition. The plant uses the power-to-heat principle, i.e. it uses electricity to generate hot water. The increasing share of renewables in the electricity grid, especially wind and solar energy, can be used sensibly in this way. Benefit from production peaks during electricity generation and from the economic use of self-generated excess electricity. This already sets you off on a climate-friendly path and ensures you a futureproof system solution.

- Smaller footprint and lighter weight
- Straightforward boiler heat retention
Optimally coordinated system technology
Large-scale systems for industrial, commercial and municipal applications must provide energy in a clean and energy saving manner. High operational reliability and availability are essential. Viessmann offers precisely these efficient energy systems –– in the form of pure electric boilers. Our range of products includes components and systems designed to work together. This means you can rely on an economical, futureproof solution. The following extensions are available:
- Automation and control technology
- Instrumentation & control technology
- Combustion systems with fuel supply
- Water treatment systems and analysis
- Feedwater tank and other thermal tanks
- Heat recovery systems
- Pipework and flue systems
Fewer costs
A further plus point for your company: you have to pay fewer emission charges, because no flue gas emissions from COx or NOx are generated on site through the use of electricity. Additional costs can be saved because fuel storage and a flue system are no longer required. This also reduces the footprint and weight compared to conventional boilers. Your running costs are also lower because you can use cheaper electricity tariffs or even your own excess electricity.
Function and technical features
The Vitomax HW-E uses excess electricity and can therefore utilise production peaks in power generation ecologically and economically. A heating cartridge converts the electricity into heat, which in turn is used to generate hot water. The heating cartridge is attached to the boiler via a connector and complies with the applicable DIN standards. The wall thickness of up to 2.1 millimetres ensures high resistance to corrosion and mechanical loads. Depending on customer requirements, different immersion lengths of the heating cartridges of up to 4.5 metres are possible.
Technical details of the Vitomax HW-E
Furthermore, the Viessmann Vitomax HW-E electric boiler is also characterised by its high output and high efficiency.
- Outputs: 0.5 to 5.0 t/h / 0.45 to 4.5 MW
- Permissible operating pressure: 6 to 25 bar
Significance for the energy transition
The electric boiler for industrial applications enables you to take a step in the direction of the energy transition. This system uses the power-to-heat principle, i.e. uses electricity to generate steam and heat. The increasing share of renewables, especially wind and solar, in the electricity grid can be used meaningfully in this way.
This already sets you off on a more climate-friendly path and ensures you a futureproof system solution. The Paris Agreement clearly states that global warming must not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius. This goal can only be achieved if private and public investments support the implementation of these goals.
