Rinnai applied at Elemental- launch of r290 commercial & industrial range of heat pumps – up to 410kw
Rinnai Applied is showing its first major launch of the R290 range of commercial and industrial heat pumps which are high efficiency and eco-friendly heat pumps in a wide variety of sizes from 40kW to 410kW to suit virtually and all commercial sites.
Rinnai Applied is dedicated to the design, supply and integration of larger HVAC units and systems that meet the specific heating, cooling, and hot water demands of the bigger commercial and industrial premises.
The Rinnai Applied stand will be dedicated to displaying the benefits of design for system congruity and modelling of overall performance from a capital expenditure, operational expenditure, and carbon emissions perspective. Rinnai Applied will be staffed by an expert team to simplify, validate, and educate on real life performance of renewable systems on major projects and sites.
Also on the Rinnai stand will be the ‘Learn & Earn’ initiative which offers bursaries of up to £200 for the successful completion of three CPDs on retrofit in Leisure; Water Neutrality and Seasonal Performance Factors (SPF).
Star of the stand is the R290 heat pump range which features the benefit of variable water temperature deliver capability with hot water rises to 75 degrees Celsius achieved, making these 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.
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.
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, “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.”
