Rinnai’s Installer SHOW is packed with new products and services coupled with a welcoming site & stand – packed with refreshments, entertainment such as darts, golf putting and table football competitions.

 

The stand will also feature the H3 Rinnai heating & hot water system initiative that consists of:

 

  • H1– Natural Gas, Hydrogen and BioLPG-ready hot water heating units and systems & Boilers.
  • H2 – Hybrid systems featuring a mix of appliances and renewables such as solar.
  • H3 – heat pumps, instantaneous hot water heaters electrically powered and electric cylinders.

 

All technological options focus on creating decarbonization pathways that are technically, practically, and economically feasible and have been designed specifically to reduce carbon emissions and lower capital and operational expenditure. The H3 range is supported by in-house design support along with carbon, OPEX and CAPEX cost modelling.

 

Rinnai’s H1/H2/H3 offers multiple avenues of cost reducing decarbonization across various energy vectors. To create a healthier way of living, Rinnai is expanding 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 market leading solution that saves up to 3.5x more carbon per m2 compared to conventional solar technology.

 

Once Rinnai’s solar technology is combined with the condensing hot water heater system, savings in carbon and cost can be made as the units will modulate from 58kW – 4.4kW dependent on the solar input. Therefore, gas will only be used to boost the temperature when needed. Rinnai’s solar hybrid technology harnesses renewable gains whilst maintaining robust and efficient operational performance.

 

Rinnai intelligent condensing continuous flow hot water heaters can save more than 30% in operational running costs when compared to gas fired storage systems, helping to reduce fuel costs and exposure to ever-increasing energy and climate change legislation.

 

All solar thermal products are precisely aligned with the hot water heating systems & units which are hydrogen blends-ready 20% and renewable liquid fuel (BioLPG and rDME) ready combustion technologies.

 

Rinnai’s H3 range of decarbonizing products includes commercial and domestic Low-GWP R290 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 Rinnai’s HPIH Monobloc Air Source heat pump can serve increased demand for heating and hot water.

 

Rinnai’s HPHP series of LOW GWP heat pumps range from 48kW – 70kW. 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 Infinit-E range is an optional three-phase all-electric water storage heater for commercial hot water applications. All 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 the appliances are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

 

Each 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 when compared to glass-lined variants. The empty weight of the Infinit-E is 54kg maximum.

 

All electrical elements can be fitted to a single-phase supply, should site limitations dictate. Each element within the appliance range has its own controllable thermostat with a temperature range of between 49 and 90 degrees Celsius. All elements are fuse protected and there is no need for expensive sacrificial anodes due to a tough stainless-steel build.

 

Rinnai is also showing the new and innovative KCM series of continuous flow water heaters into the UK market. The KCM series is designed to specifically increase customer savings in energy, capital, and carbon with the inclusion of internally refined technological advancements.

 

The KCM unit possesses micro-processors that ensures hot water is delivered at the exact pre-set temperature. The advanced micro-processors will measure incoming water temperatures and modulate gas input. This guarantees the system will only use the required amount of energy to increase water temperature whilst supplying limitless volumes of clean hot water.

 

The inclusion of micro-processors enables the customer to pre-set water temperature supporting the minimization of legionella and eliminating the risk of safety issues such as scalding.

 

The KCM series leads the UK market in gross energy savings and operational costs at 93% and are compact design reducing the requirement for installation wall and floor space (unit dimensions length 670x 470x 257). System set up, monitoring and error codes are all made easily available via inbuilt status monitors located at the front of the panel.

 

An all-electric ignition system has been added to ensure no energy wastage – as no additional energy is required to maintain unused water temperature. Hot water temperature is internally monitored, if any fluctuations that rise above 3 degrees of the maximum set temperature, operation of the system will immediately stop ensuring customer safety and low operational costs.

INSTALLERS ACROSS UK SPEAK ON THE DIRECTION OF CURRENT & FUTURE COMMERCIAL & DOMESTIC ENERGY 

 

  
 
  
Chris Goggin expands his recent discussions that focused on the concerns of heating engineers and system designers regarding the malleable condition of UK energy policy. He has listened to 10 installing contractors, from all parts of the UK for their views, from a pragmatic level on how they see the market and developments.

 

 

Rinnai has continued to listen to 10 professionals who specialize in domestic and commercial properties with heating and hot water provision. We asked them a series of further questions and promised anonymity so that they could speak freely. Heating engineers, system designers and boiler installers were asked what current systems and appliances attract customer interest, what future options do they consider viable and if they worry about a lack of clear governance affecting their future.

A range of professionals who work in heating and hot water from across northern, east midlands, southern England, and Scotland share what they think on the UK government’s strength of direction relating to future energy dispersal.

The southeast region of England is the most affluent and holds the highest population density in the country. Four installing contractors who specialize in commercial and domestic heating were asked on their thoughts about central policy and governmental direction.

Please note that these are personal views from a selection of installers around the UK.

An installer from Orpington, Kent said:

“I’m only currently fitting gas equipment now. In terms of the future, I think hydrogen will be used over electric boilers. Electric boilers are expensive and need an electrician when fitted. They’re inconvenient and costly.”

A gas engineer located in Sevenoaks, Kent shared his observations:

“I like the idea of hydrogen going forward. The only thing that worries me is extra costs that installers must incur through regulations and yearly skill renewal classes. I’m not a huge fan of heat pumps, they can be temperamental. I recently had to take out heat pumps from a whole block of flats. Once temperatures dropped below zero outside, they stopped working.”

 A solar engineer based in Biggin Hill, Kent recently switched from installing gas equipment to fitting solar panels shared his thoughts:

“I didn’t want to be left behind because they won’t be fitting gas in new builds from 2025. All in all, I’d say solar offers proven technology, is best for the environment and can also be a good investment. I have heard of hydrogen but don’t think it is proven or profitable enough for the government to use.”

A gas engineer from Croydon, Surrey offered similar opinions:

“I think the industry has already started to go solar. If you don’t mind the sight of them on your roof, solar panels can be a good investment. Now I’m fitting more gas equipment than anything else. Hydrogen can be used but extra registration costs worry me.”

A gas engineer from Birmingham is aware of a change to UK energy dispersal – he says:

“I still fit gas boilers but have also completed a solar course. I’m still not one hundred per cent sure where the industry will go in the future. It makes sense to think that the government will move towards solar as they profit from it. I’ve heard of hydrogen, but I don’t think big business, or the government will want to use it. It’s cheaper to run and better for the environment but less profit for the big cats. I can’t see hydrogen being used for those reasons.”

A plumber from Nottinghamshire is not happy with the current quality of governmental advice, he added:

“the government need to clearly outline the future after natural gas heating, so we know where to focus our attention. It worries me, do I go solar, electric or hydrogen? I’m not being told anything useful, and I’m worried for the future.”

A gas engineer based in Sheffield, Yorkshire believes future UK power will not be gas based:

“the future is heating pumps and solar. I’ve worked with both and can recommend either of them to my customers. I cannot see hydrogen being used – no way. Existing pipework can’t withstand hydrogen. All pipework will have to be replaced with plastic to cope with hydrogen. That’ll be too costly. Hydrogen can be used for industrial purposes but not for domestic heating.” When also asked on any future fears for job security: “none, I already work in other areas other than gas.”

Another located in Sheffield, Yorkshire feels the future should be focused on green gasses:

“looking at the options available to heating I’d have to pick hydrogen – although there are no domestic boilers available, apparently, they are on their way. Electric is too expensive, and I don’t trust solar. I’m currently advising my customers to update their appliances over the coming years to accept hydrogen.”

A gas engineer residing in Glasgow, Scotland, agrees with hydrogen:

“we must go hydrogen because it’s compatible with existing infrastructure and the cost won’t be too different to switch your gas system over. It’s best for the environment and all other options have flaws. I’m not concerned for my future.”

Another gas engineer who works in Glasgow, Scotland, is more sceptical on the overall direction of the UK government:

“I know the goal is no more gas equipment by 2025, but that’s only new builds – and what are new builds after 2025 getting? Hydrogen could be an easy switch over but there isn’t even any hydrogen equipment or large-scale hydrogen available and we’re two years off. I don’t think the powers have made up their minds. I’ll be okay, I’ll adapt to whatever they come up with.”

 

It is evident that heating professionals believe they are provided with unclear information of future UK energy dispersal and could benefit from agreed centralized instructions. Decarbonisation of all industrial, domestic, and commercial UK practises is a huge task – however, insight passed down to installers from the UK government could help to accelerate UK decarbonisation aims.

Rinnai understands the current pressures faced by installers, system designers and customers alike. Rinnai aims to provide all customers and professionals with information that creates a better understanding regarding all UK energy matters. Enhanced levels of knowledge encourage improved decision-making skills when purchasing a heating and hot water system.

RINNAI LONDON FOCUS GROUP LOOKS FOR BETTER CLARITY FROM GOVERNMENT POLICYMAKERS

  

Rinnai’s regular focus groups based in London have called for greater clarity from UK policymakers in terms of both appliances and chosen fuels for domestic and commercial installations of heating and hot water systems.

 

The Rinnai London group have questioned the lack of details to make future decarbonisation plans a reality and look to remove all obstacles of NetZero ambitions. The Rinnai focus group also discussed potential barriers towards wider UK electrification and hydrogen distribution. A unifying theme held by system designers and installer contractors is a lack of communication by the UK government towards these vital players in the industry as they are the main conduit to the end-consumer in both residential and commercial applications and sites.

Darren Woodward chaired the Rinnai London focus group and he commented,

“This meeting was a representational selection of well-placed proferssional, either working for large companies and organisations, operating constantly in this sector of the overall HVAC industry.

“The group focused on the negative influences delaying wider UK electrification, such as a lack of qualified installer personnel, material shortages and property compatibility. The topic of hydrogen revealed a national reluctance towards a manual transitioning of appliances, as well as concerns regarding safety and extra costs.

“A number of installers and system designers in the Rinnai London focus group felt that the UK government could improve direct communications towards heating engineers regarding future energy direction – and not appear to make and rescind policy decisions through favoured media channels and platforms. The group expressed concerns that more unbiased and information which concentrates on providing the best heating and hot water advice towards UK customers should be a priority for the UK government.

 

 

Rinani’s London group discussion echoed identical concerns held by heating and hot water installers across the UK. Issues regarding the plausibility of definitive NetZero targets and timelines were expressed, as was a feeling of inevitability of future UK hydrogen deployment regardless of the current failure to produce a demonstration hydrogen village pilot project.

The most cogent observation when speaking to heating and hot water installers across the UK is the frustration towards the UK government in not providing better detailed information that future proofs heating and hot water delivery systems. UK customers could benefit from enhanced communications between policy makers, and installers that results in the correct system being deployed in the appropriate property.

 

Rinnai understands the complexity of UK decarbonisation efforts and is working to readily assist the process for policy makers, system designers and customers alike. This is why Rinnai provide a comprehensive list of CPD’s on their website

and host regular discussions with industry professionals to provide a concise impression of the current energy industry landscape.
