Positioned on Glenelg North’s Adelphi Terrace, Quayview on Adelphi is the latest addition to Adelaide’s luxury property market.
This newly constructed apartment complex offers 59 residences across 21 unique floorplans, combining premium coastal living with contemporary design.
Rheem Commercial was selected to provide a cutting-edge hot water system tailored to the development’s unique needs. With its seaside location, Rheem’s solution would need to overcome challenges like salt exposure, extreme weather, varying water pressure, hot water security and long-term durability.
The Brief
Lucid Consulting Engineers, Australia’s largest employee-owned, multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, led the design process in partnership with Active Utilities, the site’s Embedded Network operator.
The new construction required a hot water solution that not only aligned with energy efficiency targets but was able to withstand the corrosive effects of coastal conditions.
In addition to performance, the system would need to be reliable, easy to maintain, and cost-effective to run for residents.
To meet these requirements, Rheem Commercial was involved early in the design phase to develop a bespoke solution customised specifically to the development’s technical and environmental needs.
The Solution
Rheem Commercial delivered a tailored hot water system for Quayview on Adelphi combining heat pumps, storage tanks, Rheem RediSet, and Rheem’s innovative three-way valve technology. This integrated solution was designed to optimise energy efficiency while ensuring long-term operational reliability.
Rather than installing a single large unit, the Air to Water (A2W) 16kW heat pumps is purpose-built for outdoor placement. It features dipped evaporator coils and components housed in marine grade aluminium casing, that provide added protection in harsh coastal conditions.
Savings up to 75 per cent of operating cost compared to electric water heaters, the A2W heat pump delivers hot water up to 65°C, with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) up to 4.0 at 20°C ambient.
Additionally, its compact footprint and energy-efficient performance contribute valuable green points to the building’s energy rating.
The setup also provides high redundancy, which means that in the event of a component requiring a service, the system can continue to meet demand ensuring sustained operation. This not only improves resilience but extends the lifespan of the hot water solution by balancing load across multiple units.
