RINNAI APPLIED LAUNCHES R290 COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL RANGE OF HEAT PUMPS – UP TO 410KW
Rinnai Applied have made its first major launch with the introduction of its R290 range of commercial and industrial heat pumps. Rinnai Applied’s new high efficiency and eco-friendly heat pumps arrives in a wide variety of sizes from 40kW to 410kW and uses the propane-based refrigerant R290.
The systems have variable water temperature deliver capability. Hot water rises to seventy-five degrees Celsius can be achieved making the commercial heat pumps ideal for high temperature applications.
The refrigerant R290 maintains a GWP (global warming potential) of 0.02 and is exempt from F-Gas regulation. Rinnai’s R290 commercial and industrial heat pump boasts a market leading SCOP, BREEAM and LEED energy ratings and modular installation capability for the entire range, as well as the guarantee for an easy fitting due to a flexible footprint.
The contemporary design ensures high levels of operational efficiency even at partial loads and offers maximum accessibility to the refrigeration circuit compartment. The R290 range of heat pumps deliver lower total product life cycle costs that do not compromise on performance. Rinnai’s R290 heat pumps are specifically purposed to reduce CAPEX and OPEX costs to a minimum.
Says Managing Director Tony Gittings on the launch,
“Rinnai is also simplifying Heat Pump design with (SPF) Seasonal Performance Factors. SPF helps establish the true system performance including Pumps, Cylinders and Ancillaries.”
The Rinnai Applied R290 range operates at low sound levels and is fully compliant with ECODESIGN (EU) standards ensuring ultra-low impact through design and operation. These heat pumps are tailored towards every site and task meaning a perfect fit for every application.
Flexibility and system versatility is a key feature of the R290 heat pump commercial and industrial heat pump range with the inclusion of smart control logic that can manage up to six units, five of which being controlled by a master unit. This arrangement prioritises system performance whilst minimising wastage.
The main benefits are:
- Lower Total Life Costs: These units are engineered to keep your long-term costs down without compromising performance.
- Eco-Friendly by Design: By tapping into renewable energy sources and using natural refrigerant propane (R290), they help you hit top-tier energy ratings like LEED® and BREEAM®—and stay ahead of F-Gas and PFAS regulations.
- Top-Tier Efficiency: Fully compliant with ECODESIGN (EU) 2016/2281, they meet or exceed all the key energy performance standards—SEER, SEPR, and SCOP.
- Tailored for Every Job: With three optimised versions, there is a perfect fit for every application—whether you are focused on cooling, heating, or both.
- Quiet Operation: Smart design keeps compressor noise locked down, so you get powerful performance without the racket.
Managing director of Rinnai UK and Rinnai Applied – Tony Gittings comments,
“the entire industry supply chain needs to collaborate so that delivery of optimum, truly green, and highly efficient products can be provided to the UK HVAC commercial building sector:
“For the building services consultants, designers, larger M&E contractors, and end users it could mean that they will adapt to this changing market by asking more from the links in the supply chain. I have spent my career – almost 45 years now – in product manufacturing and I have never seen a greater need for flexibility and versatility from the manufacturers and suppliers.”
“Whether you are upgrading an existing system or planning a new build, these units are ready to deliver comfort, compliance, and cost savings. Also, I want to give special mention to specialist HVAC Sales Engineers – these are highly skilled and experienced analytical people who help customers understand Applied Products and how they can be efficiently and optimally utilised. These practitioners also select products and prepare proposals for clients which include quantifiable data to support HVAC systems offered.”
“The HVAC manufacturer will need to be a true partner to all those in the design, installation, and commissioning sector. We will need to offer design; full evaluation of each site in terms of practical, economic, and technical considerations; full quantitative data on CAPEX, OPEX services and life cycle costings.”
At Rinnai we offer all these services within our product range with the belief of ‘Creating a Healthier Way of Living.’ For the wider public”
