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.
