Rinnai’s multipoint 17i water heater, for example, eliminates the
problem of sudden changes in water temperature, resulting in cold
showers or scalding hot baths – the water temperature you set is the
water temperature you get. So, if somebody is happily showering at
42°C and a tap is turned on to draw a bath elsewhere in the property,
the temperature does not vary, and there is no chance of either user
running out of hot water.
The Rinnai 16i interior model measures just 675 x 370 x 139mm
and weighs in at 18kg - a one-man lift. The room-sealed unit has a
temperature range of 35°C to 60°C with direct electronic ignition. Gas
consumption ranges between 4.7kW-6.5kW for Natural Gas and 4.9kW-
36.8kW when using propane. Hot water delivery flow is an impressive
16ltr max flow. Nominal operation pressure is 1-7 bar and it uses a
230V AC 50Hz 1ph power supply with an electrical consumption of
68W.
The 17e has full frost protection and is available with a range of
external ancillary items, including pipe cover box – and security cage
where necessary.
For smaller properties, the Infinity 11i interior unit differs from the
17i as it weighs 2kg less at 16kg and consumes 6.10kW-21.60kW of
Natural Gas and has an 11-litre maximum flow.
Key features of the 24kW Rinnai 11i are: Compact & lightweight unit
for easy installation; Robut, durable heat exchanger; User friendly
digital controls; In-built frost protection; Ideal replacement for large
obtrusive and bulky cylinder; Compact design to fit a limited space.

Meanwhile, where an external installation is required, the Rinnai 17e
external multipoint water heater offers greater flexibility at the design
stage and offers a viable solution where flue runs are problematic or
internal space is not available. Capable of flow rates of up to 510 litres
per hour at a 50°C rise, the 17e is suitable for multiple applications
and can be specified for use with Natural Gas or propane.
