Rinnai, the UK’s leading manufacturer of LPG fired continuous flow water heaters, has transformed the hot water delivery arrangements at a busy Caravan Club site in the Malvern Hills.
The Problem
Malvern Hills Caravan Club site offers its visitors not only the beautiful Malvern Hills to explore but also the Elgar Trail, taking in the composer’s birthplace at Broadheath to his final abode in Worcester. Malvern adds to its charms with a Festival and Fringe in May as well as laying claim to having the finest parish church in England, all within easy reach of the caravan park. And it is, of course, renowned for its spring water. The site is especially busy from Easter all the way through to October, so there is a continuous need for hot water. Providing plentiful hot water for visitors staying in caravans on up to 210 pitches, with demand for showers before breakfast and dinner, is no easy task and it recently became clear that the site’s old, traditional system simply couldn’t cope.
The Solution
Contractor Booth and Bomford of Evesham advised on the task of supplying the needs of a toilet/shower block with a new state-of-the-art hot water system. It was important that the new system should be able to produce hot water any time of the day or night and never run cold, even at the busiest times. The decision was taken to install four Rinnai HDC1500i gas-fired continuous flow heaters to provide a never-ending supply of temperature-safe hot water for even the busiest of times.
“The job involved the removal of the two storage-type water heaters and installation of four new Rinnai water heaters. We also needed to re-configure the hot, cold, LPG gas and return pipework to suit the requirements of the new heaters and insulate all new pipework, put in new vertical flues through the roof and a new water conditioning unit to protect the water heaters.”
Graham Cox, Booth and Bomford
According to Cox, the popular Caravan Club site now benefits from energy and cost savings due to the fact that the new heaters are more efficient, providing instantaneous hot water as required rather than having large amounts of stored hot water that is continually re-heated and is not required out of peak times.
The Caravan Club obviously agrees as Booth and Bomford have won the contract to get to work on another two sites – Moorhampton in Hereford with two Rinnai HDC1500i gas fired water heaters and Moreton-in-the-Marsh where four HDC1500i heaters are going in.
Booth and Bomford is an established M&E contractor providing plumbing, heating, and electrical services working on both commercial and domestic contracts and maintenance services.
Rinnai hot water solutions are ideal for Caravan Clubs, care homes, County & District Councils, colleges, schools, private commercial and residential clients, and much more.
Rinnai offers the most energy-efficient and cost-effective range of LPG-compatible A-rated energy-labelled appliances. For off-grid installation, the Rinnai Infinity range offers world-beating efficiencies and the most advanced technologies on the market today for anywhere an energy-efficient LPG instantaneous water heater is needed.
Expanding the Benefits of Bio-LPG Ready Heating
In addition to the benefits of LPG continuous flow water heaters, Rinnai also provides Bio-LPG ready heating solutions. Bio-LPG, derived from renewable sources, offers a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional LPG, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious businesses. By integrating Bio-LPG ready heating systems, Caravan Clubs and other facilities can further enhance their sustainability efforts.
Bio-LPG ready heating systems are designed to work seamlessly with existing LPG infrastructure, providing a straightforward upgrade path for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. These systems offer the same reliability and efficiency as traditional LPG systems, ensuring a consistent supply of hot water even during peak times.
The use of Bio-LPG ready heating systems can also lead to significant cost savings over time. As renewable energy sources become more prevalent and cost-effective, businesses that adopt Bio-LPG can benefit from lower fuel costs and potential government incentives for using sustainable energy solutions.
By choosing Rinnai’s Bio-LPG ready heating systems, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while enjoying the practical benefits of a reliable and efficient hot water supply. This forward-thinking approach not only meets the immediate needs of guests and residents but also contributes to a greener future.
