Rinnai INFINITY®
Rinnai INFINITY® A-Series
Only on when you need hot water
The Rinnai INFINITY A-Series are continuous flow hot water systems for residential applications. These water heaters produce endless hot water, and unlike electric cylinders, are energy efficient as they are only on when you need hot water.
There are five models to choose from depending on your hot water needs. Model numbers represent hot water capacity, for example the A26 produces 26 litres of hot water per minute at a 25 ° Celsius rise.
Controllers
The Rinnai Compact Controller is their smallest, most affordable model.
Digital controllers allow you to select the exact temperature of the hot water at the tap within the controller temperature range. This has a number of benefits:
- Safety, especially if you have young children, the hot water can be pre-set to a child-safe level.
- No need to mix hot and cold water, this reduces the affect of temperature spiking when another tap in the building is turned on.
- You use your continuous flow unit more efficiently as less gas is required to heat water to 40 °C (typical shower temperature) than at 55 °C (default temperature without controllers).
- Allows diagnosis of problems (such as gas supply disruption) when the appliance is serviced by displaying 'error' codes that the service person can utlise.
Extended warranty
Rinnai Infinity installations with a Rinnai controller receive an extended warranty.
How it works
A Gas hot water (gas califont) unit fixed to the exterior of your house. The A26 as an example is designed to provide 26 litres of mains pressure hot water. The A26 model is suitable for homes wanting to regularly run three hot water taps simultaneously (eg; hot water in the kitchen & a bathroom and an ensuite shower). Internal units are available in this size model too. *The L/min is the nominal water capacity at a 25° rise.
STEP BY STEP
- When a tap or shower is turned on, the system instantly starts working as water starts to flow through the appliance.
- The combustion fan starts.
- Ignition begins (this requires electricity) and then a gas valve opens.
- Once the flame is established the appliance will heat the water as it is required by the digital controller (optional) or until you turn off the tap.
