Rinnai decarbonises Surrey community hub

Rinnai has supplied five 16kW Low-GWP heat pumps plus hybrid cylinders to deliver space heating and hot water to a busy Surrey community centre. There are six large suites, rooms and studios which can be hired for a variety of leisure, educational or local community purposes. 

Rinnai’s design service assessed that five HPI Monobloc air source LOW-GWP heat pumps and electric cylinders would provide space heating and hot water for the entire building. 

Rinnai’s HPI range can cascade up to seven units together. This LOW-GWP heat pump technology is suitable for applications from domestic to light commercial. The system can switch between heating, hot water and cooling mode to ensure flexibility and durability as standard. 

The models have ultra-low sound capability making them suitable for areas with prohibitive sound legislation. 

Rinnai’s low-GWP heat pumps use R290 refrigerant and have an ERP rating of A+++, making it an economical and environmentally sound choice. 

Also chosen were the Infinit-E electric cylinders. The range is an optional three-phase all-electric water heater for predominantly commercial hot water applications. The electric storage water heaters are fitted with between one and six titanium elements, while the KW rating is scalable from 12kw to 72kw. 

The cylinder is manufactured with stainless steel, adding durability and enabling extensive warranties. The use of stainless steel also makes the Infinit-E range lightweight and easily manoeuvrable.
