RINNAI DELIVERS HOT WATER
AT SCARBOROUGH CARE HOME
Rinnai continuous flow hot water heating units have replaced a vastly
oversized and close to redundant traditional style of system at the
Coombe Hay Care Home in Scarborough.
Coombe Hay is situated in large, attractive and tranquil gardens on
the outskirts of Scarborough, only minutes from the town centre
and seafront. Coombe Hay offers accommodation which is fully en-
suite and suitable for male and female residents with some larger
apartments available for two people.
Coombe Hay began in 1958 when money bequeathed by George
Edward Smart established the Charitable Trust which now owns and
runs the Home. Nowadays the Board of Trustees ensure that the
benefactor’s vision for a home providing excellent care for its residents
continues to develop, incorporating all that anyone would want from
their new home, and as a registered charity all money is reinvested into
the home to deliver excellent services and to keep fees and costs
affordable.
Comgas Heating advised on the replacement system and chose 2 x
Rinnai HD55i units - heavy duty high efficiency gas fired continuous
flow water heating units with optimal fuel consumption. In like-for-
like comparison to more traditional methods, the continuous flow
system is proven to be more cost effective over a lifetime. Rinnai is an
acknowledged global leader in the manufacture of tankless hot water
heating units with group sales approaching £2 Billion.
The Rinnai HD55i is an internal wall hung, gas fired, continuous flow
water heater capable of producing hot water in excess of 820 litres per
hour at a 50°C rise. The HD55i has a 125mm concentric flue which can
be extended up to 15m, less 1m per 45° bend. As with the whole of the
Rinnai range the HD55i is ErP A-rated.
The unit is compact, reliable and combines industry standards
with innovation and quality. The HD55i operates between 1-10 bar
pressure, which is suitable for mains cold water supply and systems
with booster pumps and reaches water temperatures of up to 85°C,
making the HD55i suitable for secondary return systems.
Rinnai Heavy Duty continuous flow gas fired water heaters feature
outputs up to 58kW and water can be delivered at very precise, high
volume temperature control. The smart digital controller regulates
to within +/- 1ºC without any variation of temperature even with
additional outlets. All models have full electronic ignition with no pilot
light and operate on demand only, consuming no gas when not in use.
The Rinnai HD55i is a fully modulating 52.6kW unit that can also be
installed in a manifold arrangement. This ensures that the system can
and will meet any hot water demand at all peak times, no matter what
the demand.
Typical applications include major restaurant chains, industry offices,
hotels, sports centres, schools, sports clubs, shower blocks in holiday
parks – anywhere with a need for extremely reliable supplies of
hot water delivered economically and at energy efficiency levels
surpassing all building regulations and European standards.
