The Mater Private Hospital Dublin turned to Akrivis when their long-serving DM600 Air Handling Unit, installed over 20 years ago, reached the end of its lifecycle. Manufactured by Aubren (Akrivis’ parent company), the original unit had delivered uninterrupted, high-quality performance for decades, giving the hospital full confidence in choosing Akrivis once again.
The decision to install the Akrivis DM70S was guided by its combination of proven reliability and modern, space-saving design. For a hospital environment where equipment must perform flawlessly and space is at a premium, the DM70S offered the ideal upgrade—delivering the highest output-to-footprint ratio on the market.
The compact vertical format of the DM70S fits easily through standard doorways and elevators—critical for installation in existing hospital plant rooms—while occupying approximately half the space of traditional horizontal units.
Akrivis engineers collaborated closely with the hospital to adapt the unit for installation within a pre-existing weatherproof enclosure, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum protection.
The unit was installed without interrupting hospital services, a direct result of Akrivis’ meticulous planning and coordination with hospital teams.
The DM70S supports direct communication with all standard Building Management System (BMS) protocols, enabling smoother facility-wide monitoring and control.
The hospital reported that AHU controls were intuitive and user-friendly, requiring minimal training or intervention.
For the Mater Private, sustainability and quality were critical. The DM70S is not only energy-efficient and aligned with carbon neutrality goals, but it is also designed and manufactured in Ireland at Akrivis’ ISO-accredited facilities in Portlaoise. This allowed for easy client access, transparent production standards, and reduced supply chain emissions—enhancing the hospital’s environmental credentials.
“Installation was as I would have expected, trouble-free and swift. Works were completed without any disruption to hospital services. The installation team was diligent and very responsive to our needs. AHU controls are easy to use with minimum fuss. After-sales service has been very responsive, which has enhanced the overall experience and makes us look forward to dealing with Akrivis in the future.”
