Rinnai has given a local community’s much-loved sports pavilion a replacement DHW system which upgrades from its old cylinder system and provides the same peak-time capacity with significantly reduced energy costs along with much lower emissions through utilising the Rinnai R290 heat pump system​.

Rinnai offered a choice of solutions all with capital, operational and carbon modelling as part of the offering, so that the decision makers could select the optimum solution for their needs. Based upon the data the site specifically requested an Air-Source Heat Pump replacement.

As a part of the bespoke design service offered by Rinnai three possible solutions were put forward, each with differing recovery times ranging from between two and four hours, with the 2000L in storage staying consistent with the old system’s capacity.

After full consultations with the site and the contractor, the system chosen was the 40kW R290 air source heat pump system. Despite the two other possible systems offering quicker recovery periods the client opted for one single heat pump unit. An additional factor governing the decision was the fact that the 40kW R290 system, incorporating 2 x1000 L cylinders, emitted less carbon and was more economical to run in the long term.

This graph shows the cumulative running costs of each of the three possible systems across a 5-year period. As shown from the data the original system is significantly more expensive to run compared to the H3 systems. With a £46,772.13 or 170% increase compared to the 23kW R290 systems and a £48,251.10 or 186% increase compared to the 40kW R290 system by year 5.

The successful implementation of the Rinnai R290 air source heat pump system at the Surrey Sports Pavilion demonstrates the effectiveness of Rinnai's bespoke design services and complete packaged solutions. By upgrading to a more efficient and environmentally friendly system, the pavilion now enjoys reduced carbon emissions, while maintaining the necessary capacity for peak-time demand.
