LPG IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST OFF GRID ENERGY SOURCES AND AS SUCH IS THE IDEAL FUEL FOR WATER HEATING APPLICATIONS IN RURAL AREAS THAT ARE OFF-GRID.

day and 60 ° C at a time when the building is closed was used. By the time the building reopens, core temperature is 42 ° C for safe use.
Another Rinnai innovation addresses an age-old industry problem with hot water delivery- lime scale build-up. The company’ s integrated scale control system is an innovative solution and comes in the form of an LC( lime check) code on the display of the controller.
Almost all water-fed appliances, including plate heat exchangers, boilers and water heaters will accumulate scale deposits when used within hard water areas over time. Lime scale consists of calcium carbonate( calcite) with lesser amounts of other calcium salts such as the sulphate. Sometimes lime scale deposits contain corrosion debris and this scale build-up can affect the water heaters by reducing their efficiency and overall performance. Ultimately, ongoing use with hard water may shorten the lifespan of conventional water heating appliances and systems. To safeguard against this Rinnai units continually self-monitor for lime scale deposits around the heat exchanger. If a lime scale build up has being identified, a message is sent to the built-in interface panel on the front of the appliance. The message is displayed as‘ LC’, which alerts the end user that it is time to call a Rinnai service agent to perform a lime scale flush to clear the potentially harmful deposits. This avoids and eliminates the adverse effects associated with lime scale build up, including lower energy efficiencies and rapid product degeneration.
Rinnai’ s HDC range offers condensing technology with up to 107 % gross efficiency, ultra-low-Nox of less than 20 ppm, a widely expansive modulation range of 59.5kW-2.8kW and high flow rates of 37 / ltr / min. Add to these benefits are the peace of mind of an extended warranty, a top A-rating exceeding the demands of eco-labelling legislation, the flexibility of external wall mounting and delivery to site with all relevant accessories and the knowledge that the HDC range is future-proofed against future regulatory and legislative changes.
