Rinnai Applied has introduced its R290 range of commercial and industrial heat pumps. They are available 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 75°C can be achieved, making the commercial heat pumps suitable for high temperature applications.
The R290 refrigerant maintains a global warming potential (GWP) of 0.02 and is exempt from F-Gas regulation. Rinnai’s R290 commercial and industrial heat pump offer leading SCoP, BREEAM and LEED energy ratings and modular installation capability for the entire range, as well as the guarantee of 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. Managing Director Tony Gittings said: “Rinnai is also simplifying heat pump design with Seasonal Performance Factors (SPF), which 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 range, with the inclusion of smart control logic that can manage up to six units, five of which are controlled by a master unit. This arrangement prioritises system performance while minimising wastage. The smart design also keeps compressor noise locked down, offering users a powerful performance without the racket.
Tony continued: “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.” www.rinnai-uk.co.uk
