Constant airflow models maintain the same airflow at varying pressure, such as filtered applications. Filter elements will change in resistance to airflow over time as they become obstructed by dirt and dust. The new blowers’ electronics will detect this and increase motor power to maintain the proper level of airflow performance.

The new 146-mm x 188-mm blowers are powered by 150W electronically commutated (EC) motors in both 120 and 230 volt AC input, 50/60 Hz. EC motors.

Rinnai Introduces Demand Duo^™ Commercial Hybrid System

Rinnai has introduced the Demand Duo™, a commercial hybrid water heating system that combines highly efficient heat exchanger technologies from Rinnai’s recently launched 199-BTU, Energy Star-certified C199 condensing commercial tankless water heaters with a durable 119-gallon tank designed to handle the demands of businesses. With a system that produces more hot water in the first hour than traditional commercial systems, it has a six-year heat exchanger and tank warranty and is built for longevity and saves energy.

The Demand Duo provides a direct replacement for traditional standard and high efficiency commercial tanks and features direct vent, common venting options and single-unit/common vent room-air ability that can use the building’s existing vertical vent penetration, eliminating the need to core additional holes in walls and roofs to allow for external ventilation, which can lead to leaks.
