The benefits for the end user are big savings on fuel
over other forms of water heating solutions, with
the added advantage that there is no need to give
up valuable space to install a cylinder. And there
are no standing losses to account for as occur with
traditional stored hot water systems. The Rinnai
system produces useable hot water on demand, at
the turn of a tap or the push of a shower button. The
relatively compact footprint of the units also means
they can be housed in tight spaces and still be easily
accessible for maintenance and servicing.

low NoX, less than 50mg with gross efficiencies of 96-
97% and recovery of 740 litres per hour at 50° Delta.

water heaters. Rinnai’s high efficiency condensing
range of continuous flow water heaters, including the
HDC1500 with its 96-97% gross efficiency, covers a
vast number of requirements.
