The extract fan, rated at 9m3/s from the pool hall required replacing due to a bearing failure, resulting in the impellor displacing and damaging the casing of the fan. Due to space and access limitations Thermo Air (Imofa) Ireland modified a replacement fan, delivered in modular form and reassembled within the fan chamber.  The 18.5kW motor was also replaced with a high efficiency 7.5kW EC motor, reducing the power consumption of the unit as part of the Dublin City Council Sports and Leisure Centre’s energy efficiency upgrades scheme.
