Rinnai Prestige Electric Boosted Close Coupled System
A close coupled system is where the Storage Cylinder and the Solar Collectors are coupled together and the installation is on the roof. Rinnai Close Coupled Solar System use a thermo-syphoning principle (i.e. hot water rises because it is less dense) to circulate the water through the Collectors and then to the Storage Cylinder without the need for a pump. Supplementary heating from the electric element will generally turn on overnight to bring the water up to temperature if insufficient heat is available from the sun (such as during cloudy or rainy weather or during winter months).
Features
- Low heat loss due to greater insulation
- Supplied standard in Titanium colour
- Wide range of Colorbond® colours available including Silver Prestige.
- Choice of two selective surface Collectors
- Close Coupled System - Storage Cylinder & Collectors mounted on the roof
- Highest quality Stainless Steel cylinders
- Electric boost element ensure a 'top-up' on low solar gain days
- Specifically designed for solar ensuring maximum heat retention thus reducing the need for boosting
- Do not require a sacrificial anode saving on maintenance costs
Benefits
- Technically very efficient, economical to install and low maintenance
- No recirculating pumps and pipe runs – reducing heat losses and improving running efficiencies
- No electricity required to operate pumps to recirculate the water through the panels
- Space saving in that it eliminates the need for a storage tank at ground level – ideal for courtyard homes or small blocks
- Highly efficient all copper Collector with a Tinox surface maximising energy from the sun
- 10 Riser tubes per panel for effective transfer of the solar energy to heat the water
- Full aluminium casing for corrosion resistance
- Fully replaceable glass
- Available in both standard and frost tolerant (FTC) versions
