Responsive heating for large spaces

Quick heat for large spaces — Rinnai’s1004T fan-convection powered-flue gas-fired heater.

Rinnai’s 1004T Energysaver fanned-convection powered-flue gas-fired space heater is designed for applications such as schools, community centres, libraries, conservatories and churches. These heaters deliver energy-efficient and consistent warm air without the use of central ductwork or a heating circuit. They are quick to install.

The Energysaver range exceeds seasonal thermal heating guidance of Part L.

Major problems in heating large public spaces include the pattern of use, age of the building and the building fabric. For example, a church may require heating at short notice and only for a short period of time.

Rinnai heaters address these problems by heating from the floor up and modulating gas use according to room temperature.

The Energysaver Multi system heats large spaces by throwing out heated air at habitable level — so occupants feel the warmth straight away.

In a church with a high roof, for example, this approach to heating means the heating need only be turned on about half an hour before people start arriving.

Any number of these heaters can be run off a central time clock.
