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 .
