Free hot water energy audit for all hospitals and medical centres – courtesy of Rinnai

Rinnai is offering free audits for all hospitals and medical centres in order to maximise energy and financial efficiency in the delivery of hot water at the point of use.

Maximising efficiencies can lead to fuel savings alone, of up to 30% on current energy prices as the hot water is heated only when it’s used – turn the tap off and the energy costs can stop immediately.

The audit, in close co-operation with the site, measures all data concerning use and presents a full and detailed report prepared by CIBSE recognised engineers. This is all free of any charge.

Rinnai is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of continuous flow hot water systems, with a range of units that can be manifolded to supply, virtually, limitless temperature accurate water to a site of any size. It also means less space spent on plant rooms and no or little maintenance as all units are proven to be robust with extended working life and warranties to support this.

Rinnai’s Sensei N Series water heating range offers a new and compact design with enhanced combustion that allows for easier and quicker installation – and gives high levels of operational performance.

All components in the range are designed and manufactured by Rinnai, and this ensures maximum quality and reliability from the world leader in commercial continuous flow water heating products and systems.

The Rinnai Sensei N Series is also the first-ever continuous flow hot water heating unit manufactured with stainless steel heat exchangers to be available in the UK – this gives a greatly extended working life. Added to this is the Sensei N Series market leading extended warranties.

The advanced burner controls with the Sensei N Series models ensure that all the appliances are well ahead of the NOx requirements set within ErP. The current level of permissible NOx set by ErP is 56mg/Kwh.

The Sensei N Series range has been third-party tested at 28mg/Kwh, making them one of the greenest water heating appliances available.

As the units do not incorporate storage, its ‘green credentials’ are further recognised by BREEAM and score additional credits under the building regulations.

In answering the threat of Legionella proliferation – continuous flow technology is recognised as heavily reducing the risk of Legionella proliferation when compared to other types of hot water delivery. The main reasons for this are that there is no storage, system turn over is regular and the area for debris is much lower than storage type systems.

The industry uptake of Rinnai’s continuous flow heater systems is proven to be more energy efficient than conventional storage systems and are increasingly the experts’ preferred method of hot water provision. Rinnai units easily cater for any size projects that need high volumes of water at intermittent or any times of day.

Rinnai manufactures over 2-million water heaters every year and as such, is at the forefront of creating unit cost advantages for installers. Competitively priced, the units offer all technological advances and innovations, all at a similar cost to lower specification competitor models.
