Savings on heating hot water

Rinnai offers free survey including – life cycle costing analysis and carbon savings system schematics on hot water heating costs and installation

Rinnai, a leader in continuous flow temperature controlled hot water delivery units and systems, is offering all types of care homes free surveys, reports and system drawings which are said to be capable of yielding up to 30% savings on fuel and energy when projected over a systems lifetime.

The free survey and report from Rinnai, a global leader in space-saving continuous flow hot water heating units, is aimed at reducing fuel bills and maximising a site’s temperature-controlled hot water. Typical savings on fuel bills can be as high as 30% each year. The Rinnai analysis can also project future carbon reductions.

The free survey involves minimum time and fuss and comes complete with a full, detailed report.

Legionella is a major concern facing any care homes or hospitals. Rinnai’s on demand continuous flow units all have pre-set temperatures of 65 degrees C to minimise the potential proliferation of Legionella bacteria as Rinnai can guarantee a temperature controlled and accurate water delivery system, giving peace of mind on this issue.

With Rinnai continuous flow hot water units and systems there are no storage cylinders as the cold water enters the water heater directly from the mains and is immediately heated to ACOP L8 advisory levels as a guard against Legionella proliferation.

In stopping Legionella proliferation, Rinnai has also developed additional ‘SMART’ controls for secondary return DHW systems in the form of an advanced temperature control system which allows for safe running of water at 42°C core temperature during the day and 60°C overnight. This system means that safe temperatures are achieved at the outlets and taps or shower heads, thus eliminating the risk of scalding.

Rinnai offers a BMS Gateway System with advanced technology which enables unique and unrivalled performance control and information of the whole water heating system. Rinnai has developed a unique BMS gateway to interface with new and existing BMS systems, delivering increased information exchanges and consequently better efficiency and control.

The benefits are: Remote temperature control; Optimum efficiencies; Remote monitoring; Legionella compliance; Optimisation of energy usage; Water flow measurement; First hit repair.

All water heating systems should be subject to rigorous design criteria, including a risk assessment for both scalding and Legionella, advises Rinnai.

The Rinnai range of space saving continuous flow gas fired hot water heaters have been engineered specifically to guarantee the highest efficiencies and the lowest running costs of any commercial water heating systems.

Old-style stored hot water systems are not designed to cope with modern hot water demand, as the recovery times are often longer than the period of use. Getting rid of a wasteful and costly hot water storage systems can make a significant impact on running costs when replaced with a technologically advanced continuous flow gas fired water heating unit.

Rinnai has individual units capable of delivering over 959 litres of temperature controlled hot per hour. The units can be manifolded to an unlimited number so that the amount of temperature controlled, and accurate hot water is virtually limitless – and it is all on demand from the user or whoever turns the tap or shower on.

“Quite simply Rinnai water heating units and systems optimise energy usage to maximum efficiency and effectiveness -  with stored systems it costs to heat and maintain the high temperature of the water for when someone uses it…..rather like keeping a car engine running for when you decide to drive….”, says Chris Goggin for Rinnai.

The combination of quality Japanese engineering, numerous useful technical features and the robust build and ease of use of the Rinnai units makes them an extremely attractive choice for installers and end users alike.
