5 Commercial hot water solutions The Rinnai continuous flow water heaters represent our commitment to delivering the best systems available in the world today Rinnai offers you the complete package CE and WRAS approved Digital temperature control for absolute safety Frost protection as standard on all units Rinnai produces over 12 million gas appliances every year, which are distributed to all parts of the world, and are all ISO 9001 and ISO 1400I certified (International standard for environmental management systems). Backed with extensive warranties and fully qualified after sales teams, Rinnai is proud to be the No.1 choice for Continuous Flow Hot Water. Rinnai hot water systems fulfil your requirements for new or existing projects, providing the optimum solution by using individual or multiple appliances manifolded together. Continuous flow systems are far more energy efficient than storage systems, and the preferred method of heating water where gas and water services allow. Restaurants and hotels are a prime example of this as they require high volumes of hot water at intermittent times of the day, often at high temperature to satisfy health requirements. With the Rinnai continuous flow hot water system, you will never run out of hot water. Typical applications Health and emergency services Hospitality and leisure Education Shopping malls Agriculture Process applications The Rinnai continuous flow water heater incorporates many safety features, one of which automatically cuts the heater off should the temperature rise by 3 C above the chosen set point. Renewable energy solutions Rinnai award winning solar water heating solutions are designed to offer a perfect blend of eco-friendly technologies, guaranteed to provide a constant flow of hot water, no matter how many showers and baths are in use at the same time. Rinnai continuous flow systems Never run out of hot water Space saving, compact design means no floor space taken up Optional controllers allow you to control water temperature accurate within 1 C of set point to ensure safety and comfort Endless hot water delivered more efficiently and with greater control, replacing bulky, inefficient, old-fashioned storage vessels Highly efficient, providing extensive savings on energy consumption Rinnai water heaters also reduce the impact on the environment. The market leading design has lower greenhouse emissions, due to Rinnai s reduced NOx burner technology. video 4

6 Key to icons Extended warranty Plus Internal components are rigorously tested within specialist test laboratories to withstand heavy duty usage and all weather conditions.

15 Hot water storage systems In situations where a very large demand of hot water is required, Rinnai Infinity PLUS storage offers a cost effective solution. Using a modular system of either internal or external Rinnai HD or HDC condensing water heaters and a stainless steel storage vessel, demands in excess of 20,000 litres per hour can be satisfied. Rinnai s stainless steel storage vessels do not require electric immersion heating elements and these items may be supplied as an optional extra if required. The modular system offers the additional benefit of operational cover should a water heater fail; easy access and isolation of a unit for servicing. Rinnai s Infinity PLUS storage represents a very competitive and energy efficient hot water solution for larger heavy duty applications. Rinnai Condensing Water Heaters can be used to maintain the temperature in a large storage vessel. This approach could be used where the hot water requirement exceeds the flow capacity of the manifolded units, or where there is an intermittent demand for hot water in buildings such as hotels, hospitals, apartments, etc. Gas Expansion vessel Pump Cold water supply Valve Pressure reducing valve Strainer Non-return valve Expansion valve 14

19 Renewable hot water solutions Rinnai offers both flat plate and evacuated tube collectors, each with specific benefits to suit your application. Either option will provide years of low maintenance, low cost energy to heat your water provided the units are correctly sized and installed. Orientation Both flat plate and evacuated tube collectors work best when facing due south. However evacuated tube collectors will outperform flat plate collectors when a due south location is not an option, i.e. east/ west facing or both. Performance The performance of a flat plate collector is close to that of an evacuated tube collector in the summer months when facing due south. Evacuated tube collectors have better overall results in both early and late season and they are not affected Secondary pump Building return 50 C - 60 C TS1 500 Litre Solar Thermal Store 10 C - 85 C TS3 10 C - 65 C 60 C - 65 C flow to taps TS2 Cold water supply Drain 18

20 Evacuated tube collectors have multiple glass tubes which heat up by absorbing the sun s energy. The vacuum insulated tube retains most of this heat and the constant profile of the round tube means that the collector is always perpendicular to the sun s rays. The energy absorbed is approximately constant over the course of the day. Swimming pools Swimming pools and jacuzzis are ideal applications for the use of solar thermal heating because they are generally used most in the summer when the energy that can be obtained from the sun s radiation is at its maximum. by adverse weather conditions and even produce impressive temperatures on cloudy days. The flat plate collectors are exceptionally sturdy and durable, perhaps more suited to vulnerable locations. Rinnai can help you to design, size and install a solar heating system for your swimming pool or jacuzzi that could also be set up to heat your domestic hot water at the same time, saving more money on your ever increasing fuel bills.

Hot water boost applications Fossil fuel is only used when the renewable thermal energy store is below its set-point, thus reducing the dependency on fossil fuel and reducing CO 2 emission. Rinnai can provide solar thermal systems with either flat plate or evacuated tube collectors and solar cylinders.

21 Internal flueing systems and accessories The Rinnai internal flueing system is highly versatile and makes installation of an internal water heater simple and convenient. Notes 1 The heater can be flued vertically, horizontally or any combination of both. 2 Horizontal flueing can be used as a direct through the wall flue or extended from another internal wall. 3 Vertical flueing is used when the water heater needs to be flued vertically through the roof. 4 A siphon pack is required when vertical flue exceeds 1.5 metres. 5 Rinnai Infinty internal water heaters are classified as room sealed appliances. Flue systems must be installed in accordance with Rinnai Installation instructions (supplied with flue terminals), local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, and all other relevant statutory regulations. 6 A full programme of extensions, bends, brackets and flashings are available from Rinnai. 7 All flue components for the HD50i are 80mm inner diameter and 125mm outer diameter. 8 Maximum flue length is 13m (HD) or 15m (HDC) less 2m per bend, up to a maximum of 4 bends. 9 Additionally, the height from top of the heater to the terminal cannot exceed 9m. 10 Only Rinnai flueing systems must be used with internal water heaters. Use of non-rinnai flueing systems will invalidate the heater warranty. 11 Common header flue kits are available for the condensing range only.

23 Controls Why install temperature controllers? Remote temperature controllers allow precise temperature control by the user. The water heater will deliver the selected temperature even when the water flow is varied or more than one tap is in use. Each remote controller can be individually programmed, however the water heater can only deliver one set temperature at any time. Remote temperature controllers cannot override the master temperature setting made with the DIP switches within the heater. 12 volts DC supplied from the water heater (up to 50m cable run) 12 hour AM/PM Clock In-use indicator Diagnostic tool for commissioning Maximum number of temperature controllers Universal remote controller Our smallest and most economical model, the Rinnai compact controller can be installed in the kitchen, bathroom, en suite, even the laundry.
