Heating range Rinnai provide fast and reliable heating. Hallmarks of our product range are precise temperature control and energy efficient heating. Energysavers These are fixed power flued heaters. Rinnai appliances flued via a power flue are approved by the sensitive choice programme of the Asthma Foundation.
Choosing the right type of heating Considerations such as geographical location, room size, room insulation, running costs, and functionality versus aesthetics all play a part in choosing the right heating solution. Geographical location Where you live in New Zealand can determine the type of heating solution you choose. Use the diagram below to work out which climate zone you are in. Room size Consider the whole area you need to heat.
Location considerations Clearances All Rinnai appliances are subject to clearances. Examples for the Energysaver 559FT and Portable Convectors are shown on this page. For additional clearance details, refer to the specific product pages in this guide. Fixed ventilation Rinnai Portable Convectors and Indoor Super Ray heaters (unflued appliances) draw the air for combustion from the room, so there is a need for adequate ventilation.
Rinnai iHeat®:Determining suitability Spending time in the planning stages and discussing the heating requirements with the customer will ensure the correct system is specified and that the Rinnai iHeat can be successfully installed.

Energysaver flueing guidelines Every Energysaver heater requires a flue system that will draw effectively and clear flue products safely under all potential wind and climatic conditions. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the appliance is provided with an effective flue. Some guidelines to assist with flue design are listed below. These must be read and modified as necessary with reference to the particular installation. Flue terminal locations Must be compliant with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Energysaver flueing options Flueing option Description Flue components needed Direct and direct extended flueing Direct through-the-wall flueing for walls 75-385 mm thick.

Super Ray clearance information It is critical to the safe operation of this appliance that the clearances are maintained so the heater does not become a fire hazard. The Super Ray heaters discharge products of combustion from the top of the unit which could cause damage or discolouration to the ceiling if the ceiling clearances are not maintained.
Indoor Super Ray with a heat shield C B A With a heat shield fitted heat is deflected down and out so the side clearance needs to increase from 0.5 m to 1 m.

Indoor Super Ray accessories: Heat shield Rinnai Indoor Super Ray heat shield codes Indoor Super Ray 16 Indoor Super Ray 24 Indoor Super Ray 40 WHS16 WHS24 WHS40 Description Constructed from stainless steel and heat resistant insulator board, the Rinnai Super Ray heat shield acts as a deflector and insulator when fitted to an Indoor Super Ray heater. This has the benefit of reducing ceiling clearances, giving the owner flexibility about where the Super Ray heater can be positioned.
Indoor Super Ray accessories: Deluxe surround Rinnai Indoor Super Ray deluxe surround codes Indoor Super Ray 16 Indoor Super Ray 24 Indoor Super Ray 40 R1446 R1447 R1448 Description Designed as an aesthetic cover for the Indoor Super Ray heaters to make them look less industrial. Typically used in restaurants where overall design is important. Suitability All Rinnai Indoor Super Ray (WMA/WEA) radiant heaters. The deluxe surround fits onto the back of the appliance.
Rinnai iHeat Rinnai iHeat central heating code RAHU20 Description The Rinnai iHeat is a ducted home heating system that uses hot water from the Rinnai INFINITY continuous flow gas hot water heater to warm air and circulate it around the home. The Rinnai iHeat is controlled via a wall thermostat that has three fan speed settings and can be programmed to run on timers. How it works The Rinnai INFINITY continuous flow gas hot water heater provides hot water to the iHeat air handler unit (heat exchanger).
Rinnai iHeat specification summary Rinnai iHeat Energy efficiency Approximately the same as the Rinnai INFINITY―over 80% depending on the Rinnai INFINITY model and ducting used. Heating area: Warm zone: 333 m², medium zone: 285 m², cool zone: 250 m² The heating area in each house will vary due to amount of insulation, number and size of widows, floor structure etc. Minimum pipe size This is CRITICAL to the successful performance of the central heating system.
Rinnai iHeat accessories Rinnai iHeat fittings kit Rinnai iHeat suspended mount kit Code Code = R5046 Designed to simplify and speed up the iHeat installation process and to fit within the Rinnai INFINITY pipe cover.
Rinnai heating Appendices
Appendix 1: Running costs Running costs can play an important part in the purchase decision. Based on the information in the table below, calculate for yourself the approximate running cost of a Rinnai appliance, and approximate hours a 45 kg LPG bottle will last. Rinnai appliance Energysavers Gas Energy consumption output (MJ/H) (kW/h) 45 kg bottle Running costs per hour ($) will last LPG Natural Gas (hrs) $97 per 45 kg $0.
Rinnai iHeat running costs Running costs for the Rinnai iHeat are still being collated as we are trying to base the information on 'real' installations around the country. Once the information has been finalised it will be loaded on the Rinnai website—refer to the iHeat product within the heaters category on www.rinnai.co.nz. Running cost assumptions and calculations LPG gas bottle energy calculation 1 kg of LPG gas contains 50.4 MJ of energy 1 kW = 3.
Appendix 2: Calculating the minimum room size Height Unflued heaters must not be installed in rooms smaller than specified (refer to product specification page). To determine if the intended room meets the minimum size requirement multiply the height x width x length of the room. Len g th W t id h Example If the room dimensions are 5.3 m (length), width 5 m, and height 2.4 m then the volume would be 63.6 m3 and suitable for use with an Avenger RCE671 (minimum room size of 62.5 m3).

Timer or manual switch Switch circuit power supply 24 V AC Must be AC black black white red blue Sub PCB Terminal block Rinnai Energysaver 1004FTR Rinnai Energysaver 1004FTR When a 24 Volt AC supply is applied to the sub-PCBs the appliances will turn on. When the 24 Volt AC power supply is disconnected appliances will turn off.
Appendix 4: Definition of an outdoor area This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, and where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
