Millom Rugby Union Football Club, in the Cumbrian countryside, is a multi-use facility including rugby pitches and a caravan and camping ground. The club required a reliable, energy-efficient hot water solution to replace its stored hot water supply.
The system needed to meet a high and variable demand from matchday players, onsite staff, and campsite visitors, which resulted in multiple peaks in supply each day.
The site is off-grid and reliant on LPG, with initial plans to connect to mains gas abandoned due to the prohibitive cost and existing infrastructure limitations. Instead, Rinnai’s LPG to BioLPG hot water system was seen as an economical and ecological alternative.
After consultation with Rinnai’s engineering team, the Club installed four N Series 1600 continuous flow water heaters, all supplying instant, temperature-accurate hot water on demand. Rinnai provided a CAPEX, OPEX and lifecycle cost analysis as standard, which demonstrated that an LPG and BIOLPG ready continuous flow system would outperform a stored system in terms of energy efficiency, operations cost savings, carbon footprint reduction and system longevity.
