Arcus installs Rinnai high efficiency water heaters to replace storage and lower onsite carbon at major superstore
Arcus is one of the UK’s leading FM companies offering a total maintenance and service solution via 1000s of multi-skilled and specialist engineers on the road, supporting an ever-growing list of nationally branded companies which operate in all retail sectors – superstores, supermarket chains, hotels, homewares, retail banks plus individual healthcare, business parks and online retail concerns.
The company recently completed the installation of 2 x Rinnai 1600 models at a superstore retailing grocery & fresh produce and on-site baked goods. The units – temperature accurate and capable of producing on demand over 1000 litres per hour – were replacing an old, traditional gas-fired calorifier. The two Rinnai units now meet and exceed all on site hot water needs whilst also significantly reducing the risk of legionella.
‘Ashley Eaton of Arcus FM was leading the installation team doing a superb job’, says Rinnai’s Harry Barton, adding, the site now has a reliable and robust hot water system supplying all needs on-demand. The Rinnai units will improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions with a more compact, space-saving and easily serviceable configuration.
“We are pleased to assist Arcus FM with a solution that helps drive both operational reliability and sustainability for one of the UK’s leading supermarket chains that has annual sales in excess of £35Billion’
The bespoke Rinnai system has been designed not only to lower onsite carbon due to its expansive range of modulation, but the system is also configured to assist the superstore with ongoing compliance. The Rinnai system is specified with a bespoke unvented system expansion and valves giving the site G3 compliance.
The system is also set at 65 degrees with a hot water delivery capability accurate within 1 degree of this setpoint, thus assisting that legionella risk is minimised. Finally, the Rinnai system can be configured to integrate with any onsite BMS.
