Comparison

Viessmann Vitocrossal 200 CI2-500 vs CI2-750

Verdict in brief

Stepping from the CI2-500 to the CI2-750 buys 250 MBH of maximum input (750 vs 500 MBH) but changes the boiler's character: the minimum fire rises from 50 to 75 MBH, combustion efficiency eases from 97% to 96.9%, weight grows from 789 to 963 lb, and water content rises from 29 to 50 USG as the unit moves to the CI2 middle chassis.

What actually separates them

The CI2-500 is the largest model of the CI2 entry chassis; the CI2-750 opens the middle chassis group. Maximum input rises from 500,000 to 750,000 BTU (147 to 220 kW), and the minimum fire also rises — from a 50,000 to a 75,000 BTU (22.0 kW) floor — so the 750 idles at a higher minimum in part-load conditions.

The physical step is real: weight grows from 789 lb (358 kg) to 963 lb (437 kg), water content from 29 to 50 USG, and flue and combustion-air collars from 4 to 6 inches. The printed combustion-efficiency row eases from 97% to 96.9% between the two chassis groups.

Both models share the Inox-Crossal heat exchanger, MatriX cylinder burner, Lambda PrO₂ combustion trim and Viessmann One Base controls of the CI2 line. The 750 earns its place when the plant load genuinely approaches its ceiling; a load that fits the 500 keeps the lighter, higher-efficiency row of the entry chassis.

The Vitocrossal 200 CI2-500 steps the top of the CI2 entry chassis to 500 MBH: 50 to 500 MBH rated input (14.7 to 147 kW) at 97% combustion efficiency, in the same 789 lb (358 kg) unit with 29 USG of boiler water content as the CI2-399.

Frequently asked questions

How much bigger is the CI2-750 than the CI2-500?

Weight rises from 789 lb (358 kg) to 963 lb (437 kg), water content from 29 to 50 USG, and the flue collar from 4 to 6 inches, per the printed figures.

What changes in firing behaviour between these models?

Maximum input rises from 500 to 750 MBH, but the minimum fire also rises from 50 to 75 MBH, so the 750 cannot match the 500's low-load floor.

Why is the CI2-750's efficiency row slightly lower?

The per-size rows print 97% combustion efficiency on the CI2-399/500, then 96.9% on the CI2-750 — the figures as printed, declining to 96.5% on the CI2-2000.
