When you have to be ready for emergencies of all kinds or to bring medical care to remote locations, you need to know that your facilities and equipment will be ready also. Whether you have to respond to a natural disaster, a riot, a gas leak, or an outbreak of contagious disease, your emergency vehicles and housing must be able to protect your people and your equipment.

DMC’s flexibility and tolerance for extreme conditions will help!

I. Emergency Response

Emergencies vary widely in type, intensity, and location. DMC’s ability to adapt to a wide range of harsh conditions will help assure you that your equipment will function and your staff will remain safe. It will cool at high temperatures (and low if your building must remain sealed to keep out contaminants). It heats and cools in storms — rain, wind or sand. It will tolerate poor quality electricity (no electronics, only mechanical controls). A corrosive gas leak will not stop them.

DMC units can all be made safe for hazardous environments full of unknown but possibly flammable or explosive gases or dusts.

II. Remote Locations

The ease of maintenance and repairs assures that even if you use your medical equipment or vehicles in remote locations without good access to spare parts or trained technicians, you can keep the DMC air conditioners operating. The US military uses DMC units in large part because the mechanical controls can be repaired even in the battlefield.

III. High and Varying Altitudes

DMC designs its equipment so that it will maintain its cooling and heating capacity even at altitudes well over 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). Therefore, if you operate mobile clinics in remote areas, you can count on comfortable conditions for your staff and patients. With our optional air-purification system installed in the air conditioner, UV (ultra-violet) light will kill airborne pathogens to reduce the risks of cross contamination.

If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. If you have a particular application in mind, click here. We look forward to having the opportunity to team up with you, either to work with our standard products or to develop ones that will more specifically suit your needs.

Reminder about “Explosion-Proofing”

Even when DMC adapts its units for flammable and explosive environments, they retain all their other harsh-duty advantages and durability. Therefore, they afford a far better return on investment than do residential or commercial units modified for hazardous locations. In addition, DMC makes a special priority the development and production of robust Division/Zone 1 air conditioners, with and without heat.
