CARRY ON CARAVANNING WITH
RINNAI HOT
WATER
INSTANT, CONTINUOUS, LIMITLESS AND SENSIBLY
ECONOMIC FOR EVERY TYPE OF COMMERCIAL SITE
Rinnai, the UK leader in hot water heating units and systems for
all commercial and residential sites, has recently completed yet
another installation at a caravan park and holiday multi-activity
centre.
Rinnai HDC 1500e external unit, fuelled by LPG, was installed
at a site in rural Herefordshire as part of regular upgrades on
the complex. The hot water was for a very specific function - the
Disabled, Laundry and Dog Wash rooms providing, and it needed
to supply more than 940lt/hr at times of high demand. The unit
has a maximum output of 54kW and weighs just 31kG.
Due to space and configuration constraints the Rinnai 1500e
unit was selected and installed neatly on an external façade and
accessorized with a pipe cover box to deter any vandalism and
provide weather protection. As this is a pre-manufactured unit,
no additional flue or ancillaries required, aside from standard
pipe and electrical connections. The installation was easily
completed in less than a single day.
LPG is increasingly popular for caravan sites as it gives extra
flexibility on fuel and very good cost savings for the owners and
operators. 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. According to Chris Goggin, Rinnai’s
Operations Director, Rinnai Infinity continuous flow water
heaters combined with LPG gives end users, such as caravan
site owners, for example, an unrivalled energy efficient and
environmentally friendly solution. And our units are delivered
to site LPG-enabled.”
Rinnai, the UK’s leading manufacturer of the ErP A-rated Infinity
range of continuous flow condensing gas-fired water heaters,
supplies the best energy efficient range of low-NoX water
heating units currently on the market.
Advanced condensing heat exchangers combined with
innovative down firing pre-mix burner technology ensures that
every cubic metre of LPG is used to the maximum on HDC 1500e.
One of the site concerns was Legionella proliferation, therefore
a ‘SMART’ controls for the 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
