Top Holiday Park Upgrades Hot Water with Rinnai N Series

Hello, Champions of Net Zero!

In an inspiring step towards sustainability and comfort, Rinnai has recently made waves in the hot water delivery sector with the installation of five N Series 1600i units and a robust 1000L storage cylinder at the esteemed Northam Farm Caravan & Holiday Park located in scenic Somerset. This innovative upgrade is a significant stride towards meeting the increased demand for hot water while simultaneously safeguarding user safety and minimising the risk of Legionella bacteria.

Situated in Brean, Somerset, Northam Farm is not just any holiday park; it offers an impressive array of amenities, including charming bars, delightful restaurants, tranquil fishing lakes, and direct access to the beautiful beach. The strategic installation of Rinnai’s advanced hot water delivery system is set to enhance the experience of visitors, ensuring they enjoy the comfort of instant hot water while the park maintains its commitment to sustainability.

The newly implemented hot water delivery system has replaced an older stored system, which has led to immediate reductions in both carbon emissions and operational costs. Previous to this upgrade, the park relied on a system that required continuous reheating of potable hot water, a practice that is both energy-intensive and costly. The initial installation of Rinnai units two years ago was a game-changer, allowing for efficient service across twenty-six showers, forty basins, and eight wash-up areas with a configuration that included six N1600i units and a 1000L storage tank.

Thanks to the ample space at the installation site, Rinnai UK’s design team was able to craft a flexible, internally mounted system that perfectly aligned with the park’s operational requirements. Rinnai offers a wide variety of systems utilising diverse fuels and energy-saving technologies, thereby providing tailored solutions for heating and hot water supply across sites of any scale.

One remarkable feature of Rinnai’s N Series continuous flow water heaters is their 12-year extended warranty, which offers customers peace of mind against unforeseen product costs. Manufactured under stringent ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management guidelines, these appliances come with a full manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring both reliability and quality.

The Rinnai Sensei Series is designed not only for domestic use but also for commercial applications, allowing for substantial volumes of cost-effective, clean, and temperature-controlled hot water. The company is committed to providing UK customers with practical, economical, and technically sound solutions for their water heating needs.

Each unit in the Rinnai Sensei N Series boasts a compact and advanced combustion design, which facilitates easy installation and superior operational performance. Accessibility for servicing is a priority, with all additional components manufactured by Rinnai to guarantee consistent quality and reliability.

The range includes four exceptional models:

N1600i: Delivers an impressive 954 litres per hour.
N1600e (external): Also provides 954 litres per hour (at 50 degrees).
N1300i: Offers 775 litres per hour.
N1300e: Delivers 775 litres per hour of temperature-controlled water at 50 degrees.

The two N1600 models are rated with an XXL load profile and are classified as water efficiency class A, while the N1300 models hold an XL load profile and are similarly rated for water efficiency.

Additional features of these remarkable water heaters include:

Flue capabilities extending up to 30+ metres for concentric installations.
Turbo Fan technology for enhanced efficiency.
A built-in controller standard on both internal and external models.
A Cascade Cable assembly that permits up to twenty-four water heaters to operate as a single, cohesive system.
Built-in flue damper and air inlet filter.
Frost protection, withstanding temperatures as low as -15°C for internal versions and -20°C for external versions.
A new PCB design and maintenance monitor for engineers.

The Sensei N Series incorporates Rinnai’s patented advanced burner technology, achieving an impressive 13:1 turn-down ratio, the largest in the market, while ensuring an exceptionally quiet operation. Integral controls enhance the efficiency of these water heaters due to advanced burner control and high modulation ranges, which are also designed to meet low-NOx standards.

With advanced burner controls, the Sensei N Series models surpass the NOx requirements established by the Energy-related Products (ErP) directive. The current permissible NOx level set by the ErP is 56 mg/Kwh, whereas the Sensei N Series has been third-party tested at an impressive 28 mg/Kwh, making these units among the most environmentally friendly water heating solutions available.

The absence of storage in these units further enhances their green credentials, earning them recognition from BREEAM and additional credits under building regulations. Rinnai has been at the forefront of designing hot water solutions for the leisure sector for over two decades, and their expertise shines through in this latest installation.
