<ul>
<li>Fan Coil Units;</li>
<li>Heat Pumps;</li>
<li>Flexible Space Systems.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DAL provides preventative maintenance programmes that are designed to suit each client individually. Because each site is unique, programmes are tailored to suit each client’s specific needs. we cover maintenance on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chillers;</li>
<li>Close Control Units;</li>
<li>VRV &amp; Split Systems;</li>
<li>Air Handling Units;</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We operate a fleet of vehicles fully equipped with satellite tracking devices to ensure substantial time and cost savings for our customers. We ensure that we provide all our service engineers with ongoing product training to keep them at the forefront of the industry. On top of this, DAL operate a computerised planned preventative maintenance system which covers the whole of Ireland.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-254" title="Sample Site" src="http://www.dal.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc02463.jpg" alt="Sample Site" width="200" height="150" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We can also carry out maintenance for your equipment, even if you did not originally purchase for us. Maintenance not only avoids many emergency breakdowns, it also extends the life expectancy of equipment. This will ultimately save you a lot of money in the long run.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DAL operates a two pronged approach to Service and Maintenance: <em>Proactive and Reactive</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Proactive</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our regular maintenance service helps to keep your equipment at optimum performance levels. It also helps identify any problems that may be developing so that downtime is kept to a minimum before they affect key business activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DAL utilises key analytical tools such as:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Refrigerant Leak Detection;</li>
<li>Thermographic Photo Analysis;</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These help prevent future, unexpected delays by carrying out repairs before they become problems. Service and maintenance is key to ensuring that your plant is operating at optimum levels. It will improve reliability, reduce unnecessary energy consumption and ultimately lengthen the life of the system. All these will not only ensure the smooth operation, but will also importantly save your company money.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Reactive</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No matter how well serviced equipment is, it is a reality that unexpected problems will occur. When they do it is vital that these are attended to as promptly as possible. DAL operates a nationwide, 24/7 call out service to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Our Promise to You</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are specialists in air conditioning and are ideally placed to meet your needs as all our engineers and technicians are experts in every aspect of the business, including refrigeration. Also, when you log a service call, the maximum response time is 4 hours, nationwide.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Added to this, our AFS system helps us manage scheduled maintenance visits. Each client has the opportunity to view their service record online at anytime through a password protected login found on our homepage. This ensures clients have the most up to date information at the click of a mouse. Information available includes service record, equipment replacement, scheduled visits in the future and full details of each past visit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our staff are members of the professional bodies such as the IRI, the TEEU and all our engineers are fully qualified, factory trained and certified by City &amp; Guilds 2078 in refrigerant handling 001 and 002 (charging and recovering refrigerants).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-374" title="R 22 ban" src="http://www.dal.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r22-sign.jpg" alt="R 22 ban" width="100" height="92" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Within any air-conditioning system there is a quantity of refrigerant that runs through the system. Studies have shown that the refrigerant R22, used in older air-conditioning equipment, damages the ozone layer and legislation (EC Reg. 2037/2000) has been enacted that restricts the use of R22 in the future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Key dates to be aware of:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">From the <strong>1st January 2010</strong> the use of virgin R22 shall be prohibited in the maintenance and servicing of existing air-conditioning equipment.</li>
<li>Only reclaimed or recycled R22 refrigerant may be used to service equipment from the <strong>31st December 2009</strong>.</li>
<li>Systems operating on R22 will be classed as not serviceable from <strong>31st December 2014</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The demand for R22 will naturally increase after the December 2009 deadline and this will in turn increase the cost as availability will become an issue due to the end of production of new R22. Industry analysts predict that the price of R22 will quadruple year on year and that we will run out of R22 before 2013.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given that most R22 based systems are more than two thirds of the way through their working life many companies are taking the opportunity to comply with the new regulations earlier than planned. Modern equipment use refrigerants such as R410A (with an ozone depletion potential = 0) that are proven to be more energy efficient than their R22 equivalents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-394" title="Indaver" src="http://www.dal.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/indaver.gif" alt="Indaver" width="150" height="81" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DAL has a broad product range of modern, efficient and cost effective alternatives to R22 based units that are no longer acceptable due to their damage of the ozone layer. These older units are also known for their poor reliability and low levels of energy efficiency. Indaver Ireland are the specialist partner of DAL who carefully and safely dispose of the gas once it is removed. Indaver are a fully licenced hazardous waste management company and supply full disposal certs including  traceability and disposal information.</p>

These cooling towers supply water to a chilled beam ceiling which in turn cools the environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The project also has three 573Kw “Free Cooling” air cooled chillers for Block 1 and two 360Kw “Free Cooling” air cooled chillers units in Block 2. These units have a Energy Efficiency Rating, EER, on design day of just under 5. This makes the building extremely energy efficient providing significant cost savings for the end user.</p>
