Rinnai’s hybrid system provides practical, economic, & technical solution

Rinnai hybrid system provides practical, economic, and technical solution at luxury complex in the city of London

Rinnai Low-GWP 55kW Heat Pump, bespoke thermal stores, Plate Heat Exchangers and 10 cascaded I2HY20 Hydrogen- ready continuous flow water heaters specified at new development in the heart of Farringdon district of London.

On this site Rinnai’s Hybrid H2 array of Low-GWP 55kW heat pump plus bespoke hot water stores, with optimised coil transfer to maximize heat pump performance, have been combined with ten cascaded Hydrogen blends ready (I2HY20 certified) continuous flow water heaters. The systems were delivered in one complete consignment, ready for installation at a new multi-million-pound development in the Farringdon district near the City of London. The expansive complex will comprise of a new luxury hotel, prestigious & contemporary office space plus affordable housing units.

The multi-purpose use of the site meant that only a fit-for-purpose design would satisfy the practicalities and nuances of space, demand and energy usage in ensuring hot water requirements are met and exceeded 24/7.

The site was originally a Victorian-era schoolhouse for poor children. It was a ‘Ragged School’ – the term ‘ragged school’ was used by the London City Mission as early as 1840 to describe the establishment of schools, ‘formed exclusively for children raggedly clothed’. From around 1845 until 1881, the London ‘Ragged’ schools gave rudimentary education to about 300,000 children who were the poorest of the poor – orphans, waifs and strays.

The expansive retro-fit site will pay respect to this heritage with many of the original features retained in the 150+ bedroom luxury hotel, almost 20,000 sq ft of opulent capital city office space and nine new-build affordable residential units. The hotel group already has one other unit in London with two others planned.

Comments Darren Woodward for Rinnai,

’The site is very complex and still has many original features from the Victorian era – meaning that a full and comprehensive site survey with capital expenditure, operational expenditure and carbon modelling was conducted. We paid special attention to the practical requirements of the site which included 150 luxury bedrooms that needed constant hot water on demand, but we also needed to meet the site’s decarbonisation credentials. The overall system design meant that a truly hybrid system employing a heat pump, plate heat exchangers, bespoke thermal stores plus Hydrogen-ready hot water heating units was supplied in one complete consignment.

“We believe that a solution like this is the way forward on the bigger retrofit sites in London and all other UK cities. Once we had the data for capital expenditure, operational expenditure and carbon modelling we were able to demonstrate to the clients a value proposition of a delivered-to-site-in-one-package. This site has proven that Hybrids can create a practical, economic and technical feasible solution whereby all technologies and appliances work efficiently in terms of operational costs and lowering the carbon footprint without impacting overall system performance.

THE UK’S ELECTRIC GRID – CAN IT REALLY COPE WITH NETZERO?

Rinnai’s Chris Goggin explores how wider electrification of the UK domestic & commercial energy mix could influence decarbonisation efforts and customer choices of heating and hot water appliances.

Will Britain’s national electrical grid hold the capability of handling extra demand?

As part of the recent “Powering Up Britain” Govt document, wider electrification was specified as a key strategic aim in decarbonising the UK. Future domestic & commercial & industrial energy will be provided through several ways, one method of decarbonisation will focus on producing sustainably sourced and cheap electricity for UK customers.

There is a series of logical steps if NetZero is to be achieved by 2050. If the UK is going to proceed with decarbonisation through electrification, then providing the electricity for the mass use of electric vehicles will be key. To power an Electric Vehicle (EV) requires the widespread availability of charging points across the UK. There are over 33 million vehicles on the UK’s roads, the majority of which will require electricity.

Can current National Grid capacity cope with increase of electric vehicles AND the demand surge for domestic, commercial and industrial usage facilitated through wider UK electrification?

A BBC article published just recently has revealed that clean energy projects are being put on hold due to a lack of electrical grid capacity. Some renewable energy companies believe this lack of electrical grid capacity could potentially negate the progress of UK NetZero targets.

It has been estimated that the UK requires five times more solar power and four times as much wind generation than what is being presently manufactured. All of which will need to be connected to the national grid. The BBC report estimated that £200 billion of clean energy projects are waiting to be connected with 40% of these projects facing at least a year of further procrastinating.

UK decarbonisation aims are centred on the dispersal of clean and cheap electricity. However, relying on renewables in the short term to completely satisfy national energy supplies is not risk adverse. Renewable power yield relies on weather conditions that seasonally fluctuate.

Although possible, there are still theoretic and technical challenges that require addressing before the UK electric grid can be considered capable of handling both wider national electrification and the inclusion of EV’s on UK roads.

Electricity is generated through various renewable and non-renewable practises such as wind, solar, tidal, nuclear and natural gas. Although UK energy policy makers are keen on reducing and eventually phasing out fossil fuel usage altogether, natural gas has been recognized as a key decarbonising transitional fuel source, as it is used in times of low wind yield to produce electricity (wind being the second highest contributor to UK electrical generation at 25%).

UK policy makers have identified cheap and sustainable electricity as a main contributor to national decarbonisation efforts. As a result, the UK’s electrical capacity grid will have to be expanded. ‘Powering up Britain’ also states that energy independence can be achieved through potentially doubling Britain’s electrical capacity by 2030 whilst ensuring cost effective electrified power.

To provide continuity to UK home market energy supplies, a baseload of power is dispersed to communities throughout the UK. A baseload of power ensures that the minimum requirement of national demand is constantly met. Baseload energy demands are satisfied via energy sources that are cost effective and readily available, such as natural gas.

Dispatchable power are separate sources of energy that are utilized in times of peak demand. Throughout the calendar year the UK power grid will experience times of pressure where it is a necessity to incorporate additional energy to cope with demand and output.

Current capacity of the UK electrical grid stands at 334.2 TWh (terawatt-hour: a unit of energy equal to one trillion watts for one hour). It is estimated that with the inclusion of electric vehicles will create an additional 100TWh demand increase. That, in rounded terms, means an increase of about one third of current levels.

The UK electrical grid is designed to coincide with seasonal and daily peak times of demand. For example, in a seasonal context the demand for electricity is far higher in January then it is in July. Daily electrical demand rhythms are similar – evening demand is far higher than in mid to early afternoon.

Developments in technology, energy efficiency and inclusion of renewables mean that the UK electric grid needs to be positioned to deal with further output demand created by the anticipated but not guaranteed widespread EV adoption across the UK.

Work will also continue to develop V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology that allows electric car owners to send excess un-used electricity back to the grid when demand is high further creating grid flexibility.

Inter-continental grid connections to countries such as France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and Norway are connected to the UK through sub-sea cables. This means the UK grid can access power from other nations in times of high demand and system stress, as well as import and export at financially beneficial rates.

The recent “Powering Up Britain” paper stated the UK government’s aim to accelerate delivery of strategic transmission upgrades by at least three years with the specific aim of reducing delivery time in half to UK customers. The Electricity Networks Commissioner will be advising the UK government on how to accelerate grid delivery and will present recommendations to ministers in June.

Rinnai understands the complexity of UK decarbonisation efforts and we are committed to informing UK customers on the detail and impact of current and future energy policy as well as shifts in the energy landscape that could affect customer cost.

PRACTICAL, ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS USING ALL ENERGY AND POWER OPTIONS WILL LEAD TO DECARBONISATION

 

 

 

Rinnai’s Chris Goggin reviews the Government’s ‘Powering Up Britain’ document & strategy which aims for NetZero by 2050.

“Powering Up Britain” is the Government’s own manifesto for a national strategy to achieve cheaper and more secure fuel supplies, decarbonisation and the goal of NetZero by 2050.  ‘Powering Up Britain’ sets out the department’s approach to energy security and net zero and acts as an introduction to Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan &Powering Up Britain: Net Zero Growth Plan, both of which are complementary and should be read alongside each other.  These documents were produced after High Court action by what can be neutrally described as the ‘Green lobby’ – a combination of interested climate groups. Mainstream media have taken their own views on this. For example the BBC reported this by saying, “The government was forced to release a new net zero strategy after the High Court ruled that the original plan did not contain enough detail, and breached the government’s legal obligations under the Climate Change Act.”

 

This latest government released document has attracted criticism from academics and environmentalists alike who stipulate this newly produced centralized literature amounts to a watering down of previous NetZero announcements and aims.

To maintain national fuel provision and decarbonise domestic energy supplies the UK government says it will shift away from fossil fuels and continue to construct renewable energy installations such as wind, wave and solar whilst increasing nuclear capacity.

Hydrogen production and distribution will also become increasingly more relevant as the government is keen on widespread CCUS (Carbon Capture Underground Storage used for blue hydrogen manufacturing) and green hydrogen development – both forms of hydrogen can be used for industrial and potentially property heat usage.

The new plan also sets out the following objectives:
  • insulating 300,000 of the UK’s worst insulated homes as part of a £1bn energy efficiency programme
  • aiming to remove between 20m and 30m tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by 2030.
  • providing more than £350m for electric vehicle charging facilities
  • aiming to produce 25% of the UK’s electricity through nuclear power by 2050
  • speeding up the planning process for wind farms and solar energy sites

 

 

A main ambition of the “Powering Up Britain” strategy focuses on reducing electrical costs to be the lowest in Europe by 2035. UK energy strategists believe that clean and sustainable electrification is presently the safest way to ensure lower customer costs and carbon emissions.

We believe that manufacturers must adapt and offer the marketplace the variety and quality of products needed to achieve lower carbon through practical, technically and economically feasible pathways today.

Rinnai has adapted the range of low carbon commercial and domestic products to include technologies that support electrification. We now offer a range of products and systems powered by electric, natural gas, hydrogen-blends, BioLPG, rDME, Solar  & Heat Pumps – all commercial heating & hot water systems.

For example, all Rinnai electric storage water heaters are designed with flexibility in mind. All units are fitted with between one and six titanium elements. The Kw rating within the Infinit-E range is scalable from 12kw to 72kw ensuring that our appliances are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

 

The overall Rinnai range is branded as H1, H2 & H3.

H1 – Hydrogen, BioLPG – water heaters & boilers.

H2 – Hybrid Systems – Heat Pumps and Solar Thermal.

H3– Heat Pumps – Low GWP.

 

Rinnai understands the green direction of current and future energy needs as well as the cost-of-living crises which has seen fuel costs rise to exorbitant levels. Not only has Rinnai adapted their current range to include hydrogen ready technology and products that accept renewable power such as solar and hybrid heat pumps.

Energy options will continue to expand across the UK and Rinnai will be constantly preparing products and technology that instantly provides the customer with reduced emissions and costs for their commercial or domestic property. Rinnai’s H3 range will continue to meet current customer demand through technological innovation that creates a healthier way of living.

RINNAI CONTINUOUS FLOW HOT WATER REPLACES STORED SYSTEM AT HISTORIC ESSEX SCHOOL

Holmwood House was opened in 1922 as a boy’s school by Mr and Mrs E F Duggan with the aim ‘to develop the individuality and abilities of each child, to make them self-reliant and adaptable’. The world has changed a great deal in the school’s first century, but it still upholds those underlying values.

Except for wartime evacuation, the school has remained on the same site, two miles from the centre of Colchester. In 1985 Holmwood House began accepting girls, and in 2006 the nursery was opened in Great Horkesley. The site needed to upgrade and update its hot water delivery system. The new hot water delivery system – comprising of 3 x Rinnai N Series 1600i units – was installed by SDF Mechanical.

Shaun Fuller, who started SDF in January 2018 has been working within the HVAC industry since he was 17 years old and has gained a wide range of experience over the last 13+ years. From working on domestic boilers within households to large industrial steam boilers in factories, he has a wide range of skills to meet all requirements throughout all sectors. Since starting the business Shaun has progressed SDF Mechanical Services into having a large customer base in all sectors in the industry and built close relationships with them. SDF Mechanical Services are Gas Safe and Oftec Registered and have a wide range of qualifications to be able to carry out various different types of work to the highest of standards.

For Rinnai Harry Barton commented,

“The diminutive size, lightweight nature (less than 30kg) and high performance of 960 litres per hour at a 50 degree rise ensured that the Rinnai solution was an ideal system for this project. Having run some capital expenditure, operational expenditure, and carbon modelling, we also saved the school money and reduced its carbon footprint. “

Rinnai’s hot water heating units have been certified by the British Standards Institution (BSI) for use as hydrogen blends ready. The range was subjected to rigorous testing and analysis by the BSI and the product range is ‘Hydrogen BLEND 20% ready’ with the I2HY20 gas category certificate for all its products.

All Rinnai continuous flow condensing water heaters are guaranteed to provide limitless volumes of temperature accurate hot water (in excess of 1500 litres per hour) this is combined with market leading turn down ratios (13-1) and 96% efficiency.

Extensive testing also demonstrates that multiples of its existing ranges are retrospectively compatible with future hydrogen blending including all N series models already installed in the UK.

The Rinnai Sensei N Series continuous flow hot water heater range offers a more compact, enhanced combustion design that allows for easier installation, superior operational performance as well as ease of serviceability.

The Rinnai Sensei N Series is 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 at optimum performance to each of the four models in the range. Added to this are the market leading extended warranties, that accompany the hydrogen Blend-ready and Bio-LPG ready instantaneous water heaters.

 

The four models are:

 

-the N1600i giving 954 litres per hour (at 50 degrees)

 

-the N1600e (external) also giving 954 litres per hour (at 50 degrees)

 

-the N1300i giving 775 litres per hour

 

-the N1300e also giving 775 litres per hours of temperature controlled hot water at 50 degrees.

 

The two 1600s have load profiles of XXL and are water efficiency class A rated, while the 1300s are load profile XL and are also water efficiency class A rated.

 

All the range is also low-NOx (Less than 26ppm meaning they gain additional points under BREEAM) and the futureproofed continuous flow water heater utilises Rinnai’s patented advanced burner technology with a 13-1 turn down ratio – the largest on the market combined with 96% efficiency rating. Integral controls on the units enable the water heater to achieve high efficiencies because of advanced burner control and high modulation ranges.

This wide range of modulation means that energy usage is completely optimised as the water heater through smart inbuilt controls will only heat the water to the temperature required thus preserving energy.

UNCLEAR FUTURE ENERGY PLAN RISKS ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER COSTS

 

 

 

Chris Goggin of Rinnai looks at a new report from the National Audit Office on the 2035 target for decarbonisation

 

 

 

A new report from the National Audit Office, an independent parliamentary body responsible for auditing governmental expenditure, has warned that lack of a clear future plan to decarbonise gas usage could result in a lack of investment in future clean energy projects and therefore impose an increase on energy costs for all UK customers.

The report was quoted in national media as saying that: “the absence of a clear plan and the perception that there could be changes in government policies could deter external investors from providing funds for new infrastructure or lead them to increase the rates of return they require, ultimately increasing costs for energy consumers”.

A key component of the UK’s decarbonisation strategy is to generate all electricity by carbon reducing sources by 2035. However, 40% of all electricity is still produced via gas. 2035 is projected to experience a 60% increase in electrical demand as fossil fuels are planned to be replaced with widespread electrification and other clean gas alternatives.

Further reported in the national media was Gareth Davies, head of the NAO, who said:

“It is understandable that [the government] has focused on dealing with the immediate energy crisis over the past 12 months. But one consequence of this is that it lacks a delivery plan for decarbonising power by 2035, which is the backbone of its broader net zero ambition.”

He added that the longer it took for a plan to be drawn up, “the higher the risk that it does not achieve its ambitions, or it does so at a greater than necessary cost to taxpayers and consumers.”

It has been estimated that between £280 and £400 billion of investment is required to decarbonise the power sector, not including the research of new technologies and the construction of new networks.

A clear and centralized plan that is understood and endorsed by energy distributers and customers alike can accelerate progress, attract investment and safeguard future customer costs. Presently, the UK is not as an attractive investment opportunity as America.

To enhance the international investment profile of UK clean energy projects, an equivalent to the US Inflation Reduction Act should be designed and introduced soon. The Inflation Reduction Act means that clean energy projects will be rewarded with tax credits that can amount to 30% – 70% of the total capital costs of a project. The NAO has expressed concern regarding the lack of work in attracting future investors in UK future clean electricity production. Without widespread domestic and international investment UK aims of producing 100% clean electricity by 2035 are lessened.

Meg Hillier MP, chair of the public accounts committee, was quoted in The Guardian as saying:

“The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero [DESNZ] does not have a delivery plan for decarbonising electricity. While DESNZ has understandably been focusing on its immediate response to the energy crisis, I’m disappointed by its slow progress and lack of focus on the long-term. Without a delivery plan, it is unclear whether DESNZ’s targets are achievable.”

A DESNZ spokesperson was quoted in the same article as saying:

“Since the energy crisis caused by the war in the Ukraine our focus has been on delivering essential cost of living support, including paying half a typical household’s energy bills this winter, because this is the primary focus for families across the country.

“At the same time, the UK is decarbonising faster than any other G7 country … Our targets are ambitious; however we haven’t taken our foot off the pedal and our commitment to decarbonise the UK’s electricity system by 2035 remains resolute.”

RINNAI INTRODUCES 12 YEAR WARRANTY AND OPENS PATHWAYS TO NET ZERO

PRACTICAL, ECONOMICAL, TECHNICAL

SOLUTIONS TO HYDROGEN READY HEATING & HOT WATER

 

Rinnai is creating practical, economical, and technically feasibility pathways to lower carbon emissions. A major part of these low carbon pathways is the introduction of a comprehensive 12-year warranty on all its fully certified I2HY20 continuous flow hot water heaters which are suited to installation as standalone gaseous water heaters or as Hybrid hot water systems supporting solar thermal or heat pump technology.

 

These Rinnai UK product ranges are ‘hydrogen blends ready 20%’ – meaning that units will accept the proposed 20% blend of hydrogen/natural gas. Rinnai UK is one of the first manufacturers to display the I2HY20 gas category certificate for all its products.

 

This is an addition to the other services offered in support of all I2HY20 Rinnai products – Full Technical Support Service; System Design Service; BIM & CAD drawings & Schematics; Life Cycle Analysis & Carbon footprint; Comprehensive – and FREE – Training Courses & CPDs.

 

 

 

 

 

Rinnai offers H1, H2 & H3 solutions to the energy question and the cost-of-living squeeze which are all potential pathways to NetZero.

H1 – Hydrogen blends ready, renewable liquid fuel ready and electric water heating equipment.

H2 – Hybrid hot water systems – Including heat pumps, solar thermal, and electric.

H3 – Market leading, Low GWP heat pumps.

 

 

 

 

For Rinnai Chris Goggin commented,

“The introduction of our 12-year warranties are specifically designed to give all heating engineers, contractors, consultants and end-users a solution that is practical, technically and economically viable, whilst enabling the ability to lower onsite carbon when blending commences. When these continuous flow water heaters approach end of life, it is expected within policy documents that 100% Hydrogen could well be entering the grid system and we shall be ready to ease this transition.”

 

In 2022 Rinnai announced the global launch of the world’s first designed and developed 100% hydrogen combustion for continuous flow hot water heating units and systems for both domestic and commercial applications. This development complements the company’s current range of water heaters which are all hydrogen blends ready right now – and able to use both BioLPG and rDME without any adjustment.

UK HYDROGEN INSTALLATIONS & FUNDING CONTINUES TO EXPAND

 

 

 

Chris Goggin details construction projects and financial funding directly related to future widespread UK hydrogen usage. Customers of energy and all related products will be provided with insight into projects that involve hydrogen use and production by big business inside the UK and EU.

 

 

Future UK energy options will be clean, domestically sustainable and free from market interference. Low carbon alternatives will be gradually introduced in replacement of environmentally harmful fossil fuels. A form of future energy that fulfils a low carbon criteria and can be domestically manufactured is hydrogen.

The UK government has recently released their latest report detailing a future approach to hydrogen dispersal. In brief, present calculations for the use of hydrogen as an upcoming UK energy option will be limited to decarbonising hard to reach sectors of industry and transport. If scientific data that proves hydrogen adoption yields beneficial results, hydrogen could be used to heat domestic and commercial properties.

Various hydrogen projects are being pursued, constructed and installed by leading international energy companies such as Shell and BP as well as several other large UK energy operators.

Spanish renewable energy company Iberdrola will invest €170 million in constructing and developing a green hydrogen facility at Felixstowe, England’s largest port. Manufacturing capacity will be around 14,000 tons a year with the ambition to double this figure in the near future. All green hydrogen that is produced will be used to power port vehicles and machinery.

Norwegian state-owned oil and gas company Equinor has submitted a bid for UK governmental funding of £16 million with the aim of constructing a second blue hydrogen facility in the Humber region of England. A final investment decision will be made in 2025.

The Hydrogen to Humber (H2H) Production 2 site will be located close to Equinor’s H2H Saltend project – another blue hydrogen facility. Operations will begin in 2028 if the construction and approving processes are not complicated by unforeseen events.

Both Saltend and Humber projects will use natural gas to produce blue hydrogen and utilise CCUS technology (Carbon Capture & Underground Storage) that will detain a vast majority of created emissions. Equinor also received £8.4 million in governmental funding, a figure matched by private investments to begin Saltend construction.

Another big company hoping to deliver a hydrogen production facility is UK oil and gas company BP. BP has submitted plans to the UK government detailing their vision in constructing and running a green hydrogen hub that will supply clean energy to local industry, businesses and homes.

BP’s HyGreen Teesside project will be located in the Northeast of England. Production and distribution of green hydrogen will be targeted for 2025. MOU’s (Memorandum of Understanding) have been agreed with potential local buyers of end-product green hydrogen, signalling large demand.

One such MOU has been signed with Northern Gas Networks (NGN). BP and NGN will see 2,000 local homes and businesses powered by hydrogen from 2025. It is hoped that the installation of a regional hydrogen hub can assist in enabling a functioning hydrogen economy across the region and nation.

HyNet North West is a £750 million joint venture project that includes several big names such as Cadent, Essar Oil UK and Eni UK. Two blue hydrogen production facilities and CCUS technology will be constructed and inserted into Essar Oil’s Stanlow Refinery and be transported through yet to be assembled infrastructure.

HyNet’s hydrogen hub will contribute 80% of the UK’s 5GW low-carbon hydrogen target that will be utilized in industry, transport and domestic heating. All produced hydrogen will be distributed across Northwest England and North Wales. Operations could begin in 2025.

Two major European economies in The Netherlands and Germany have embraced hydrogen as a potential contributor towards decarbonising national energy resources. The Netherlands is in the process of retrofitting 136,000 km of natural gas pipelines to transport hydrogen for industrial and domestic consumption. The Netherlands “National Hydrogen Network” will be ready for operations in 2031.

Germany is encouraging large domestic industrial hydrogen transitions and residential hydrogen dispersal. German steel producer Salzgitter will spend €723m to replace industrial procedure involving coal with green hydrogen. The German government is also experimenting with trials that use hydrogen to heat properties.

European economies are keen on a switch to hydrogen. At present UK plans are not definitive on the role of hydrogen in the national energy transition, while an influx of data demonstrates the positive benefits of hydrogen usage into policymakers expanding its role in the UK energy transition.

HOT WATER SOLUTION FROM RINNAI FOR PREMIER LEAGUE

RINNAI HYDROGEN BLENDS READY 20% CONTINUOUS

FLOW WATER HEATERS BEATS STORED WATER

SYSTEMS AT PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS 

Property experts and contractors have completed the installation of a complete new hot water delivery system at a top London Premiership football club, replacing an outdated stored cylinder configuration with a practical and economic hot water solution. The renowned club replaced their old traditional system with a specifically designed new energy efficient Rinnai continuous flow delivery on demand water heaters that offer and are certified for Hydrogen blends of up to 20%.

Rinnai water heating systems have been installed in almost all top UK Premiership clubs in the UK. The latest installation was completed at a stadium which is less than 20 years old and was considered ‘state-of-the-art’ once completed. The club had initially utilised a traditional stored system where hot water is kept heated until required. The new system is capable of delivering over 9000 litres of temperature controlled hot water each and every hour, non-stop.

A premiership football club will have huge peaks of demand and the site simply cannot afford to run out of hot water on match days. The demand is for the kitchens, the catering, the hospitality, the toilets and the extensive wash and showering facilities.

Continuous flow systems heat water upon demand meaning that fuel is only used when the system is operational.

The installation completed at this London premiership club included a manifolded bank of 10 Rinnai Sensei N series 1600i continuous flow water heaters together with the Nexus scale protection and a BMS Integration. All units featured Rinnai commissioning to secure long term warranty guarantees.

For Rinnai Ricky Lewis, Associate Director Corporate Sales, said, “We were able to demonstrate that the Rinnai system can yield financial reductions of nearly 20% of the running cost, over 30% of the upfront cost, over 15% in carbon footprint, over 75% in space, over 85% in weight compared to heated storage systems, creating a highly practical and economic solution for the client whilst lowering onsite carbon.”

Rinnai continuous flow water heaters are an integral part of the organisations H1 initiative which aims to utilise natural gas, Hydrogen blends, Hydrogen, LPG and Bio-LPG to lower onsite emissions. Rinnai continuous flow units are typically 30kg – a one-man lift, making the entire installation process far easier. Two sizes are available – 47kW and 58kW. Both produce 774 and 954 litres per hour at a 50-degree rise respectively.

Rinnai H1 continuous water heaters and boilers offer practical and economic decarbonization delivered through technological innovation in hydrogen and renewable liquid gas ready technology. Rinnai’s H1 option is centred on hydrogen, as it is anticipated that clean hydrogen fuels will become internationally energy market-relevant in the future; Rinnai water heaters are hydrogen 20% blends ready and include the world’s first 100% hydrogen-ready hot water heating technology.

UK customers of energy and energy related products are presently experiencing increased levels of financial turbulence. UK energy policy stipulates that fossil fuels will be gradually withdrawn from power options and renewable energy alternatives being used in replacement.

The UK government views renewable sources of energy as cost-effective and sustainable. When thinking of investing in a heating or hot water system for a domestic or commercial property it is worth pausing to consider current and future legislative direction.

As fossil fuels are targeted for actively being phased out of circulation, seeking a decarbonising heating and hot water system has become a prominent issue to UK customers. UK customers must now think logically when considering future energy and energy related products.

Current domestic UK policy is keen on expanding on and offshore wind farms for electrical generation. Construction of on and offshore wind farms are continuing with several beginning operations soon, or have already started production, such as Triton Knoll and Hornsea 2.

Only recently wind farms across the UK have set a record for secondary power generation. National Grid ESO said that during a 30-minute period on the 2nd of November, wind farms accounted for 53% of Britain’s electricity. The previous record was set last week when 19,936MW of electricity was provided towards national demand by on and offshore wind farms in a half hour period.

UK acceptance of renewable wind farms has been gradually growing since initial introduction in the 1980s. Communities strongly opposed plans to install wind farms as they were viewed as distorting natural scenery and therefore potentially affecting house prices.

Since the 1980s a climate emergency has been imposed and energy costs have reached exorbitant levels. A survey taken by RenewableUK demonstrates that the UK public now overwhelmingly supports the installation of new solar, wind (on and offshore) and wave power facilities to tackle on-going issues relating to the cost-of-living crises and energy costs.

RenewableUK gathered the following results when asking if the public was in favour of renewable energy installations that reduce electricity bills: 81% were in favour of solar energy, 76% of people backed offshore wind, 74% in favour of onshore wind and 72% support tidal and wave power.

To protect UK customers against market volatility and enhance domestic energy security, the UK government must seek alternative and sustainable methods of energy cultivation. As a result, renewable sources of energy will be steadily introduced into the UK domestic energy mix.

Public support and relaxed legislation will see renewable energy production and dispersal become widespread. Rinnai hold a selection of products capable of fulfilling any UK customer requirements regarding the purchase of a decarbonising heating and hot water system.

Rinnai’s H3 range includes all mainstream varieties of renewable energy alternative options including, solar thermal, heat pumps, Bio LPG water heaters and boilers and solar thermal tube collectors. All options focus on decarbonisation and reducing customer cost across all stages of product life cycle.

Rinnai can offer multiple avenues of cost reducing decarbonisation across various energy vectors. To create a healthier way of living, Rinnai is offering customer choices in hot water provision as well as heating domestic and commercial buildings through a wide range of renewable energy systems.

Rinnai’s solar thermal water heating systems are a decarbonising commercial option. Rinnai’s Solar thermal VirtuHOT units are designed and manufactured in conjunction with Naked Energy. Core design values of VirtuHOT has benefited from multiple workshops with experienced installers, whose valuable insights have been integrated into design and innovation. VirtuHOT saves up to 3.5x more carbon per m2 compared to conventional solar technology.

Rinnai’s H3 range of decarbonising products include commercial and domestic heat pumps that contain a variety of features: the HPIH range of commercial heat pumps is suited towards schools, restaurants and small retail outlets. Rinnai’s HPIH Monobloc Air Source Heat Pumps – 21, 26, 28 & 32kW range can allow for up to seven units to be cascaded together or operate alone as one unit. Once joined together – can serve increased demand for heating and hot water.

The HPIH series includes a range of controls and system peripherals which ensures that all technical machinations can be monitored. Rinnai’s HPIH commercial heat pumps also deploy the refrigerant – R32, which contains a low GWP. The HPIH use maintains an ERP rating of A++ making this range of heat pumps an ideal economic and environmental option for refurbishment projects.

Rinnai’s HPHP series of domestic heat pumps arrive with the ability to save up to 25% of power input, enhancing efficiency and operational performance. State-of-the-art technology added in the injection process outperforms gas compression technology and ensures that even with outside temperatures of –25 Celsius, heating and hot water of up to 60 + Celsius can still be delivered.

Rinnai’s HPI SL range models perform with ultra-low sound capability ensuring compatibility with areas that hold strict sound compliance standards. All units operate in three different modes: heating, cooling and DHW. All three models include specific system programmes that enhances product performance in all modes.

UK energy policy is aimed towards long term renewable energy production that is sustainable and free from outside malign market influences. Logical thinking infers that the UK customer must begin considering investing in decarbonising renewable heating and hot water provision. For more information and details contact
