VITOCELL

Domestic hot water cylinders with Ceraprotect enamel or made from stainless steel Cylinder capacity: 80 to 1000 litres
A suitable DHW cylinder for every need VITOCELL
The most efficient way to heat DHW is a combination of boiler and DHW cylinder. High draw-off rates, low standby losses and high efficiency levels result in convenience, economy and operational reliability. The same goes for the Vitocell range of DHW cylinders, which offers a suitable solution for any demand from 80 to 1000 litres in mono or dual mode, installed below or alongside the boiler. Matching system connections turn boiler and DHW cylinder into one easily-installed unit.
Vitocell 300 Vitocell 300 DHW cylinders, made from corrosion resistant stainless steel, meet the highest standards of hygiene. Stainless steel is selected for kitchens, laboratories, hospitals and the food processing industry with good reason. Its hygienic properties are excellent. Its homogenous surface remains perfectly hygienic, even after many years in use.
Large heat exchanger surface, strong heat-up performance The generously dimensioned heating surfaces inside Vitocell DHW cylinders reach right to the cylinder floor. This ensures uniform heating of the entire water volume. The indirect coils are arranged for easy commissioning and fault-free operation, in that they vent upwards and drain through the bottom. Effective hard or soft CFCfree polyurethane foam insulation ensures particularly low heat losses from these DHW cylinders.
Vitocell 100 Vitocell 100 with Ceraprotect enamel coating meet all requirements for convenient, economical DHW heating, and are amongst the top-selling enamelled DHW cylinders on the market. Ceraprotect enamel coating protects the DHW cylinder reliably and lastingly against corrosion.

From apartments to multi-occupancy homes always the right choice
DHW cylinders for wall-mounted gas-fired boilers This complete unit comprising boiler and DHW cylinder can be installed in the tightest of spaces even in corners or cupboards and can be integrated into the living space without problem. For wallmounted boilers Vitopend, Vitodens and Vitoplus, DHW cylinders for installation alongside or below the boiler with capacities from 80 to 300 litres are offered in the same white finish as the boiler.
Horizontal DHW cylinder installed below the boiler This combination is relevant, where space in the boiler or hobby room is at a premium. This space-saving combination sees the DHW cylinder installed immediately below the boiler. With matching system connections, the boiler and DHW cylinder form one homogeneous unit. Subject to type, DHW cylinders are available with capacities ranging from 130 to 500 litres.
Economical DHW heating with a boiler-cylinder combination DHW heating with a modern oil or gas-fired boiler with centralised DHW cylinder is convenient and economical. A fuel cost comparison for the heating of one cubic metre of DHW from 10 to 45 C in a detached house proves this quite clearly: water heated by an electric, decentralised instantaneous water heater costs approx. 6,00/m3 (given a cost of 0.14 /kWh), employing a modern boiler-DHW cylinder combination, the price falls to 2.23/m3 (given a fuel oil price of 0.38/l, i.e. a clear cost advantage).
Vertical DHW cylinders for installation alongside the boiler A low temperature or ultra-low temperature conventional or condensing boiler with vertical DHW cylinder installed alongside can justifiably be referred to as a classic combination. It should always be selected where there is sufficient space and where high DHW convenience must be assured through a large water capacity. DHW cylinder capacities from 125 to 1000 litres reliably safeguard the supply of high water volumes taken from many draw-off points. Dual-mode DHW heating in conjunction with solar collectors and a boiler can be achieved with Vitocell-B 100 or Vitocell-B 300 featuring two indirect coils and Vitocell 333. Advanced heating technology means system design Boiler, burner, control unit, DHW cylinder and all other components of the Viessmann system design are optimally matched. Everything fits perfectly, is quickly assembled and preset for commissioning. Matching system components reduce losses to a minimum.

National energy summit Opportunity for the heating industry?
Despite its current weakness, there is still a considerable amount of potential in the German heating market that the industry needs to realise. More than two million boilers that are older than 25 years are still being used in German homes. These are technically obsolete and waste oil and/or gas. regions, some of which are politically and economically unstable, which is why political action is required. At the energy summit on 3.4.2006, the German government gave the go-ahead for a National Energy Plan , which should: ensure a reliable supply, protect the climate, provide a high level of efficiency and price stability. A well considered balance of different energy types is also required. In order to achieve these goals as quickly as possible, the policy is aimed at gradually reducing the maximum permitted building energy demand in accordance with the Energy Savings Order (EnEV) and adding energy analyses and renovation recommendations to the energy demand certificate that is prescribed for new buildings by the EnEV [Germany]. Germany. This is why system users using outdated heat sources would be well advised to replace them with modern, energy-efficient technology as soon as possible.

future and continue to put our faith in profitable growth using innovation and quality. We think that there are good prospects for 2006 and beyond, both in the international markets and in Germany. Firstly, the economic mood has improved again, and secondly, the implementation of energy-related and environment-related European Directives will revitalise the market. More stimuli for the increased use of energy-efficient technology can be expected from the energy plan 2007. Together with you, our market partners, we will use the opportunity that has presented itself to help the best possible technology to make a breakthrough on a wide front. We stand by our responsibility of saving energy and protecting the environment. Dr. Martin Viessmann
The energy summit on 3rd April 2006 in Berlin forms the prelude to the formation of a National Energy Plan that the government wishes to develop with the business sector.
The Portikus Art Gallery boiler
The new Portikus state art gallery in Frankfurt am Main successfully combines the old with the new. The name refers to the surviving part of the municipal library of 1825 that was largely destroyed during World War II. During the course of the modernisation and extension of the old bridge, different bridge structures were used to restore this historic site. The Portikus is an internationally renowned exhibition hall for contemporary art, where artists from all over the world are able to try out new ideas. The gallery is intended to be a showcase for progressive European art and act as a laboratory and experimentation zone. The construction was funded by donations from citizens, art promoters and companies. Viessmann made both a financial

Ministerial visit to Viessmann trade fair stand
The Viessmann Group presented its domestic fuel cell heating centre on a shared stand at the Hanover Trade Fair from 24th to 28th April. As well as many international visitors, three ministers were also welcomed to the stand. The Federal Minister for Transport, Construction and Urban Development, Wolfgang Tiefensee, the Hessen Minister for Economy and Regional development, Dr. Alois Riehl, and the Hessen Minister for the Environment, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection, Wilhelm Dietzel, acquainted themselves with modern heating technology and were especially interested in fuel cell technology. Alois Riehl pointed out the urgency of looking for cheaper alternatives to conventional power generation. Federal Minister for Transport, Mr Tiefensee, was particularly interested in the possibility of feeding biogas from recycled raw materials into the natural gas network. Viessmann is working intensively on the fuel cell. The domestic fuel cell energy centre is being developed in-house together with partners from industry and the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in Ulm. The system is currently in the prototype phase. Field trials are due to take place this year, demonstration systems with market partners will follow from 2007 to 2009, and the market launch of the Viessmann domestic energy centre will take place in 2010.

In his statement, Dr. Viessmann outlined the opportunities that the heating sector provided for longterm energy and environmental policy.
International energy policy matters were in the spotlight at this years United Nations ministerial conference on longterm development on 11th May 2006 in New York.
This years United Nations ministerial conference in New York on long-term development
(UN building depicted) dealt with matters concerning international energy policy.
National Energy Plan 2007 in preparation
Working parties deployed for main energy policy issues
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Minister for the Environment Sigmar Gabriel (l.) and Minister for the Economy Michael Glos meet representatives of the press at the energy summit on 3rd April.
After the energy summit on 3rd of April in Berlin, to which German Chancellor Angela Merkel invited representatives from the German government and leaders of the business world (see also leading article by Dr. Viessmann on pages 2.3), important building blocks will be developed for the energy plan during the course of the next few months. Three working parties will be formed. These will cover the following areas: the international arena the national arena and research and efficiency These working parties will formulate proposals covering essential topics concerning energy policy that will flow into the overall energy policy plan, and which will be presented at the energy summit in Spring 2007. The participants should therefore develop forward-looking
contributions and include and coordinate proposals from their respective areas of study. The important thing is for the results to provide a coherent strategy by the year 2020. The next energy summit takes place in the autumn of this year. The Chancellor would like to present some tangible results by this time. The intention is to make proposals on the international aspects of this issue for the German EU Council presidency and the G8 presidency. The German government also wishes to present a program of actions concerning the potential for increasing efficiency and the exploitation thereof in all important areas for the action plan that has been prescribed by EU law for the end of 2007.
One of the tasks given to the working parties is to identify main areas for energy research, whereby long-term strategies can be given priority. The main focus of the projects is on efficient energy consumption, renewables and basic research (new materials, for example). Improving export opportunities for energy-efficient technologies is also on the agenda. Among other things, this is intended to bring about an export initiative for renewables, incentive instruments in the developing world, linking international climate protection programs and new products and services (e.g. energy contracting and decentralised energy systems).

2005 Growth trend continues Viessmann financial press conference in Frankfurt
Whereas the German heating market shrank by 15% in 2005, Viessmann continued its growth and achieved turnover of about 1200 million Euros with its 7000 employees. During a press conference, Dr. Martin Viessmann informed those present in Frankfurt of the companys situation.
Export business compensates for weak domestic market Export sales made up for a weak domestic market with growth of 18%. The export share increased to 50%. The company succeeded in holding its market position in Germany, and Viessmann increased its turnover in products that use renewables by a third to more than 140 million Euros. This represents 12% of total turnover. The company achieved growth of
some 30% in the heat pumps sector. Turnover in the solid fuel boiler area more than doubled, and growth in the solar heating system area exceeded 30%. Approx. 50 million Euros was spent on research and development; 60 million Euros were invested in assets. The main investments were in the expansion of the international sales network, the modernisation and expansion of the company airfield and the implementation of
a new factory layout at the company head office in Allendorf (Eder). The successful trend continued in the first quarter of 2006 with an increase in turnover of more than 10% compared to the same period in the last year.
In demand: The journalists made good use of the opportunity to put questions to the head of the company.
Martina Wewetzer, Chief financial editor of the Hessische/Niederschsische Allgemeine (HNA) newspaper, conducted an interview with Dr. Martin Viessmann during the press conference, which was published in the 29th April 2006 edition. The interview went as follows: Martina Wewetzer: The price of oil and gas is increasing. Wouldnt it make sense to get away from these fuels completely? Dr. Viessmann: The slogan away from oil and gas will prevent modernisations that are necessary and meaningful from taking place, and lead to excessive energy consumption.
Responding to the journalists questions: Dr. Martin Viessmann (2nd from right) and Executive Manager Prof. Dr.-Ing. Helmut Burger,

of all energy that is consumed in Germany. In the medium to long term, an additional 50% of oil and gas could be replaced by acquiring and incorporating renewables (biomass, geothermal energy and solar energy). Martina Wewetzer: What are the alternatives? Dr. Viessmann: The most economical alternative for reducing oil and gas consumption is to replace aging heat sources with modern oil/gas condensing technology. The investment of 4000 or so Euros that is required to do this will pay for itself in five years. Where independence from oil and gas are the priority and saving money is less so, it is advisable to use a heat pump or a solid fuel boiler such as a pellet

mounted gas fired condensing boilers is particularly high in Baltic countries. Increased purchasing power, a prospering construction industry, the rapid development of the gas supply and the steep increase in fuel prices have intensified the trend toward the use of environmentally friendly technologies such as condensing systems. Major construction trade fairs are held annually in the capitals of the Baltic countries every year. During the 2006 Resta trade fair in Vilnius, managing director Krzysztof Komendzinski and Danas Tropa, manager of the Vilnius sales office, met Lithuanian President Algirdas Mykolas Brazauskas and Minister for the Environment Arunas Kundrotas. The politicians were particularly interested in the environmentally friendly and energy-efficient Viessmann condensing technology and the solar energy systems. The President discovered how

Little Wave in the Baltic countries
The Lithuanian capital of Vilnius
The three Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are still a mystery to much of western Europe. They have been independent states since 1990 and became members of the European Union two years ago. The Baltic Tigers as they are called, just like the emerging tiger states of southeast Asia, have enjoyed aboveaverage economic growth for several years. Lithuania is the biggest country of the three, and is mainly famous for being the first Soviet Republic to declare its independence. Sporting connoisseurs will already know about the countrys basketball team, which is one of the best in the world. Order, the Polish crown and the Russian Empire. The country was under Polish, German and Russian sovereignty, then became part of the Soviet Union, and now the Grand Duchy of Lithuania has finally achieved independence. Germany and Russia are now Lithuanias main trading partners. Since the establishment of the state of Lithuania, the country has become extremely westernised in order to gain direct access to the markets of the European Union and make it less dependent on its Russian neighbour. The country joined the European Union in order to do this. The next step will be the introduction of the Euro, since Lithuania has already joined the exchange rate mechanism II, according to which the exchange rate has to remain stable within certain limits. The result: The economy is booming, helped by the low corporation tax and contributions that have attracted many companies to the country, particularly from Scandinavia. The same applies to its Baltic neighbours of Latvia and Estonia; they are called Baltic Tigers for good reason. the Neris and the Vilnia, constituting approx. one sixth of the countrys population. With an area of 360 hectares, the centre of Vilnius is one of eastern Europes largest preserved historic town centres and was included in UNESCOs world cultural heritage list in 1994. The architecture of the 1500 or so historic buildings ranges from early Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque to Classicism and Art Nouveau. These form a townscape that is unique in eastern Europe. It can thank its churches for its unmistakable appearance. The cathedral, dating back to the 13th century, is the oldest church in the city and bears witness to the age of Christianisation. For centuries, grand dukes, bishops and Polish rulers have found their final resting place in its catacombs. In the 19th century it was adapted to the fashion of the period and converted to the Classical style.

Vilnius, the Little Wave. Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania. In accordance with its multiethnic and multicultural character, it is known by several names and is usually referred to as Wilna in Germany. The translation of the name is something like Little Wave which is probably a , reference to the almost identically named river, the Vilnia. Many people refer to Vilnius as the Rome or Jerusalem of the East The former is a reference to. the many churches and monasteries, which originate from the countrys days as a Catholic outpost in the east. The comparison with Jerusalem goes back to Vilnius role as a spiritual and cultural centre of the Jewish culture in eastern Europe. Nowadays a population of around lives at the confluence of
The Lithuanians are extremely proud of their recent independence, something which has been a rarity for several centuries. Lithuania was at the intersection of the political and economic interests of the German

Portrait

Vilnius has one of the largest preserved historic city centres in eastern Europe.
St. Annes church is considered to be a masterpiece of Lithuanian High Gothic and north-eastern European brick architecture. The master builder designed no fewer than 32 different bricks for this building alone. But the wastefulness stopped there, because the interior has the typical minimalist Nordic Brick Gothic style, which displays no ornaments or opulent decoration whatsoever. St. Bernards monastery adjoins St. Annes church. It was founded in 1462 by Polish monks at the height of the Christianisation movement. The associated St. Bernards church was used for another purpose for many years, and little of its original internal structure remains. Restoration of the entire complex has been under way for some time, and experts are exposing the frescos and vaults layer by layer. It will probably take years for the full history of its many hidden treasures to be finally revealed.

Vilnius claims to be at the centre of Europe, and cites the National Geographical Institute of France, which recorded in 1989 that the geographical centre of Europe was just 24 kilometres away from Vilnius. Vilnius is now a multicultural city; 58% of the population are Lithuanian, 37% come from neighbouring countries Poland, Russia and Belarus, and the remainder consists of a mixture of different nationalities. The diverse architectural style and the ethnic mix of this city is held in high regard by the 1.5 million tourists who visit Lithuania and the Little Wave every year.

Vitomax 200 HS: Integrated feed water pre-heating saves energy
Vitomax 200 HS high pressure steam boilers with steam output of up to 25 tons per hour are among the heat generation heavyweights Separate flue. gas/water heat exchangers (socalled economisers) are often connected downstream of the boiler so that these steam boilers can be operated economically. The boiler feed water is preheated inside these economisers, which helps to achieve an overall efficiency level of up to 95%. Since this can reduce operating costs considerably, economisers are gaining rapidly in popularity. The Viessmann Vitomax 200 HS steam boilers are, therefore, now optionally equipped with integral economisers. This saves space and cuts down on the scope of expensive pipelines and fittings that are needed for separate economisers.

The spirit of the Turin games brought to Allendorf:
Olympic Welcome Party 2006
The outstanding performance of the athletes at the 20th Winter Olympics in Turin impressed spectators both at the event itself and on television screens around the world. Just two days after the Olympic flame was extinguished in Turin, Viessmann welcomed the athletes that had been sponsored by the company to Allendorf (Eder). High-ranking politicians, including the Hessen Interior Minister, Volker Bouffier, representatives of the sports associations, trainers, media representatives and customers from twelve countries were also among the 500 guests. The company honoured the athletes and thanked them for their sporting achievements and successes at the Turin games at the Olympic Welcome Party that took place in the festively decorated hangar of the airfield at Allendorf (Eder). The sportsmen and women of to the Viessmann team proved to be keen medal collectors in Turin. A total of 16 medals were won in the biathlon, Nordic combination, cross-country skiing and ski jumping events (see also separate report on pages 26/27). The Olympic spirit of the Turin games was alive in the hangar with Italian specialties and music, and the re-lighting of the Olympic flame. TV presenter Ursula Hoffmann conducted interviews in which the sportsmen and women gave their impressions of the two weeks in Turin. The evening revolved around a program of exciting shows, with an impressive range of dancing, singing and acrobatics. Dr. Martin Viessmann used the opportunity to honour a member of the Viessmann team for his unique career Georg Hackl, the most successful tobogganist of all times. Hackl took part in six

Early function diagrams for generating heat using alternative energy sources
The energy crises of the 1970s lead to increased demand for heating sources that were independent of oil and gas. Most of these were heating systems that used renewables. However, a return to coal and coke heating took place, whereby developments in comfort requirements became established that were oriented on oil and gas fired heating. At that time, Viessmann brought heat pumps, solar heating systems and gasification units for heating with wood pellets onto the market. Coal and coke boilers with fully automatic charging and units for converting kinetic energy into heat completed the range of innovative heat sources for alternative energy sources. These new technologies were not just a challenge to researchers and developers, but also for graphic designers who had to implement completely new design principles and processes in the function diagrams of Viessmann brochures. A diagram with eccentrically arranged circles was created for heat pumps; this diagram showed how ambient heat is utilised by means of compression and transferred to water here using a yellow and red colour scheme on a blue background. The principle of this graphic still applies.
