Biography
Mr. Dunlavy achieved both his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in mechanical engineering from Auburn University. He is a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and is responsible for performing forensic analysis of mechanical systems such as air conditioning equipment, plumbing components, and commercial and industrial machinery.
Licensed in Florida and Georgia, Mr. Dunlavy investigates and evaluates complex mechanical system failures, including commercial and residential heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) equipment, refrigeration equipment, plumbing/piping systems, consumer appliances (including medical devices), heat transfer products such as water heaters, boilers, chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and heat exchangers, mechanical and electromechanical control systems, theme park related equipment (such as pneumatic and/or electromechanical actuators), fitness and exercise equipment, and manufacturing/industrial material processing equipment. He is also responsible for collection of evidence in the field and participating in and/or directing laboratory examinations to determine root cause(s) of failure.
Mr. Dunlavy has provided expert deposition and trial testimony with regard to such mechanical evaluations at S-E-A.
Prior to joining S-E-A, he was a Senior Mechanical Engineer responsible for project management of R&D of new energy recovery products, which included collaboration with sales/marketing and conducting cost benefit analyses to determine product feasibility. Mr. Dunlavy has also developed novel HVAC and water purification systems, specified components, provided performance estimates to meet customer requirements, performed warranty investigations to determine root cause of failure, and recommended approvals of warranties.
