Find out more about the special features of the Viessmann Vitomax HS-E electric boiler for industrial applications here.
The Vitomax HS‑E is a high‑efficiency electric steam boiler designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable, emission‑free steam generation. With outputs from 0.5 to 5.0 t/h (approx. 0.45 to 4.5 MW) and operating pressures of 6 to 25 bar, it provides a flexible and sustainable alternative to conventional fuel‑fired steam boilers.
By using the power‑to‑heat principle, the Vitomax HS‑E converts electricity directly into steam with efficiency exceeding 99%, enabling low‑carbon, low‑maintenance, and highly responsive operation.
Suitable for:
Industrial process steam
Commercial steam applications
District steam networks
Enables utilisation of:
Renewable electricity (e.g. solar or wind)
