Rinnai INFINITY® N-Series external and internal
Overview
Super efficient, super smart
The Rinnai INFINITY N-Series are condensing gas continuous flow water heaters designed for commercial applications and high hot water demand residential installations.
Available as an external unit (N56kWe) or an internal unit (N56kWi).
Features
- Stainless steel heat exchanger and internal piping
- Inverted burner, burner cleaning no longer required
- Inbuilt control panel, parameters easily set
- Inbuilt temperature sensor
- Premix burner, no gas pressure setting required
- Low cost and easy electronic connection
- Powerful fan allows a lower cost common flue to be installed (available ex-stock)
Product Details
Suitable for
External commercial and residential applications (N56kWe external model only).
Internal commercial and residential applications (N56kWi internal model only).
Mains and medium pressure systems. Hard or acidic water will need to be treated to use this product.
Condensing technology
Utilises a secondary heat exchanger to drive further thermal efficiency by extracting heat from combusted flue gases, making the N-Series models 97% efficient.
Not suitable
– as spa or swimming pool heater
– for hydronic applications
– for domestic ring main applications11 The N-Series internal pump controller is not suitable for domestic ring main applications as it does not allow the system to turn off. This means the ring main continually operates, which can cause high energy use and cost, and can be a noise nuisance, especially at night, when people are sleeping. We do however have a plumbing configuration solution if a domestic ring main is required, click here for more information.

1.5-37 litres per minute. Nominal water capacity is 32 litres per minute at a 25 ºC rise (1920 L/h)
- External unit – forced flue
- Internal unit – room sealed forced flue
Fitted as standard. Frost protection operates automatically, as long as the appliance is connected to the electrical power supply, by activating when the temperature inside the unit drops below 3.5 °C, and turns off once the temperature inside the unit reaches 7 °C.

NG – 1.13kPa, LPG – 2.75 kPa
3.5 kPa (maximum standing pressure under abnormal intermittent conditions is 5.0 kPa).
In the case of commercial metering, (i.e. 35-37 kPa coming in), there may be a requirement to regulate the incoming pressure down.
- Normal: 70 W (NG), 85 W (LPG)
- Standby: 2.4 W
- Automatic frost protection: 154 W (external), 150 W (internal)
Nominal operating pressure: 300-1000 kPa
Minimum operating water flow: 1.5 litres per minute (depends on setpoint and inlet temp.)
Please note: If the water inlet pressure or flow rate drops below the minimum values stated above, operation of the INFINITY is not guaranteed. The unit requires both minimum flow rate and pressure to operate correctly.
Internal models 49 dB(A), external model 54 dB(A). Some people are susceptible to low level noise. This needs to be considered if locating an appliance near a bedroom.
