How to Replace the Dhw Heat Exchanger on a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35 (UK)

Step-by-step UK guide to replacing the plate heat exchanger (PHE) on a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35. Part numbers, torques, commissioning.

Viessmann

The part

Fit a new plate HEX on Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35 when DHW runs lukewarm but CH temperatures are correct — classic scaled plate symptom.

Isolate safely

Isolate mains cold and CH, remove the four Allen bolts and lift the plate HEX from the hydraulic block on Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35.

Fit and commission

Fit new O-rings and grease with silicone; never re-use the old seals.

Recommission checklist

Refill the Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35 to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
