Publisher's Overview I _pl:JI ~.;;

A Lasting Influence Welcome to the inaugural issue ofELEVATOR WORLD Middle

East, pubUshcd by Elevator \IVotld Inc .• rbc iruernarional publisher of ELEVATOR WORLD magazine since 1953. We are excited

about this bilingual publication, the gotll of which is to assist in

better communication for the industry in the Middle East and Norrh Africa (MENA) •-cgiorl. 11tis public:uion would nor be possible if not for the help of our team in the U.S., as well as Amir Shokry of lead 1~radc l~airs and fliilcm Y1lmaz, our managing director of EW 1\trkey.

This publication will have :a clear focus on projects and news in this region, in addition to intern~1tional content. As with all ElevatOr \Vorld publications) our aim is ro educate :\1\d inform rhc reader. To do this, we will cover a variety of topics, such as

education, safety, modernization, maintenance and new

construction proje<:cs.

Launching a ne\\' maga'l.ine is no easy endeavor. It takes planning, market researcb, advertiserS1 investment and, most

importantly, readers inceresred in the subject maner. Elevator World has an adv~u1tage, as we bave a very supportive net\\'Ork of worldwide readers. correspondents and contributors.

Furthermore, our subject is un_ique: wirhout the elevator, where would the building·constntction industry be? If buildings were

limited to four or 6ve floors, it would be pretty boring. ·me wonh of a magazine has to do with two factors: the comenc

it contains and the nl:trketiiJg platfont"' it offers. 11tis new

publication wlll target the M'ENA region with 5,000 copies diStributed at the LII'TECH Expo in Cairo on January 21-24. Our goal is to produce a second edition late r in 20t6 and, ultimately,

four issues in 2017. TI1is cannot be done wirbout rhe help oft be industry. We need you to communicate with us on what is

hnppcr)ing in you.r comJ)tlJ'lY n1ld dlC projccrs on wbkh you ::trc workiJlg. We need you to s ign up to read the publication and invest

in advertising in ir.

1l1osewho think a prim magazine is an omdared product in roday's digital world are misrnkeo. Jn 2014. more than 23l new print magazines were launched. Print still holds much credibility

and influence, ns ir is devoid of the distractions pl'escnr in digiml media. M.my well-known digital-only businesses, such as CNET,

WebA1D and Uber have launched print publications. Why? 'Because these brands know that print publications have lasting influence

over n11 orhc1' media.

Global Urbanization Cities to see a 2.5-billion increase in population by 2050.

by Michael Ridder

In 1950, urban population represented only 30% of the world•s rora1 population~ whereas this figure is expected w more than double to 70% by 2050. Currently, more thnn half the world•s population lives in U1'bnn areas. leading to tbc wol'ldwidc development of megaciries with populations of more dlan I 0 million. Most of the expe<:ted growth will be concentrated in Africa. 1\sia and South America. I• I

Due to space constraints, urban development in the form of mid- to high-rise buildings bas proven to be the most economical and environmentally viable solution to accommodate such large numbers of people . ln additio n ro caking up less space, this type of cons-truction allows fol' smarr, cencraliz.ed control of energy. In addition, sk-yscr~pers one increasingly taller. In 2000, the average height of the 50 tallest buildings in tbc world wos 315m, while in

2013, this figure reach ed 390m, a 25% increase in just one decade. However, although the means exist to build even taller buildings,

these structures lack the necessary infrastructure to efficiently tmnsport their occupants. ll1crefore, the functionality o f the sl")'SCt1lpcr i s~ at present, limited. which means a loss of potential income from tbe rental of residential and commercia] spaces.

and their buildings is as important as the water o r energy supply, upon which d1e economies of scale of u rban conglomerations are heavily dependent.

Meeting the mobiliry demands of the urban mosses, especially in emerging economies, is the current challenge f.1.cing the elcv;uor industry.

The Elevator Technology Market in Spain

With a market value ofEURJ .6 billion ( USSL76 billion) in 2013,tbe Spanish market is expected to reach EURl .9 bilUon (USS2.1 billion) by 2018. It is tbe fifth-largest marke t in the elevato r industry, a fte r Chin3, the U.S., Genn~my and F l'tH'Ice. Tts cun·enr industry tendency is tOward new installario ns ( 4. 7% growth) nod modernization ( I L .8% growth), while services wUI d c'<:reosc slightly, by 0.2%, over the ncxr three years.1l>e market is highly competitive, with four companies holding :1 similar positio n in rhe marke t. ThyssenKn1pp ranks second. with an upward !Tend.

However, the cont inuous growth of large cities is not an

In Eu rope and North America, recent censuses show thar rhe lo.rgesr urban areas are growing fasrcr than other cities. ln the U.S., merropolitan orcas with more than one million people- arc those recording the f.1stest growth by far at 3.2%, considerably higher than the 2.4% growth nne for the U.S. as a whole. Medium.sized cities. with a populat ion between SOO.OOO and one million, bave grown at the sa.me nuc :~.s rhe n:.tio n as a whole, wbHe the coumry's sma11csc geographic units, ir·s 536 micropolitan areas with less chan 500,000

demands for efficiency, from the predominant one-dimensional vertical arrangement ro two .. dimensional horizontal/ vertical structures with more than one car opc.mriog in C:l.Ch shaft.

ThysstnK.rupp's TWlN elevators bave represcnce<la great improvement ove r single-t-ar systems1 increasing their capacity and

operating efficiency. However~ incrementing the number of cars in this system is resrricled by the use o f complicated cabling systems and requjres one C4t' co :l.lways be nbovc dte ocher. Cons1:1nt safety

concerns have also prevented progress in t he use of rope-less elevators. This is where linear drive technology offers a great advantage, climin:ning the usc ofhoisr topes nnd allowing more than one car to be used in the s~1mc shaft, such ~s the case witb the company's under-development MULTI system (ELEVATOR WORLD, February 2015).

Residents wake up to views of Palm Jumeirnh. DAMAC llcights will become one of1hc 111llcst buildings in l)ubni and the four1h tallest residential building in the world, surp;l~<cd only by l'entominium (in Dub-~i). World One (in Mumbai) ;lnd MariM 101 (in Dubni).

Toshibn I'levator was

awarded the clf .. varor package for this project with tlw daunting ch;tllengc of complctillg the insrollotion on a fast track, ns it W(l$

necess~ry to hand over the elevmors shorrly after handover of the machine room. A project-management team bandied all the engineering, dc,ign. manufacturing and installation acti\'itics and worked closely with the dient, contractor and consuha1H. 1his resulted in the project being ahead of schedule.

llw elevator system is divided into th1·ec zones - low, mid and bigh. 1he low lone is served by six 3-mps elevators st·rving 56 floors. 1he mid zone is served by three ~-mps elevators thattra•·cl from the ground floor to 17 stops higher than the low zone. The high zone is scn·ed by two passenger and one service elt·vntor operating in a three-car group, traveling from the ground lloor ro 25 srops higher than tho: mid zone at a speed of S mps.

This projcc1 is the last high rise in the Dubai Marina di.rrict and stands adjacent ro the Cayan Tower (I':W, janua•·y 2014 and November 2011 ). -Mohamed). lqlml

Saraya Towers by Aabar These are two striking. luxury residential towers with water

views of the Abu Dhabi Corniche and the Saraya Lagoon. Situated at the tip ofthe impressive Saraya development, they complement each other. 1hese adjacent 41· and 46-story towers have apartments on each noor. Podium decks provide extravagant landscaped areas with swimming pools. 1be buildings are enhanced by sl..')' gardens, courtyards, terraces and landscaped rooftops. The fa~ade is sculpted to catch and renect different angles of the sun throughout the day.

Each tower is served by three possenger and one service clcvatol' with speeds of 4 and 3

mps, respectively. Additionally, there is one pemhouse ele\'ator per tower. The units are designed with bronze, copper and stainless-steel interiors in u range of finishes. -Mohamed). Iqbal

A Desire for the Best For such a small coumry, the U.A.E. has a disproportionately

large numberoficon.ic buildings. Beyond the Burj KhC~Iifa, Iqbal points to the "exotic, pineapple and honeycomb design" of the Al Bahr Towers in Abu Dhabi, an Aedis-designed project that was recognized in2012 by the ColUlCil on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) as a Best Tall Building finalist for the Middle East and Africa, as well as recipiem of its lllflovarion Award. Emporis praised the towers for their"dynamic, rmnslucent f.1cade that runs off power generated by phorovoltaic panels which tenet to sunlight."

Accolades keep coming for U.A.E. buildings: in 2015, CTBUH deemed Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid Tower in Abu Dhabi, for which Otis did the elevatOrs, the best tall building in the Middle

Hydraulic Elevator Modernization I What to keep in mind when undergoing the right modernization solution

by Dr. K. Ferhat Cefik

Modcn1izacion is nee:ess:ary to bring eleviltors imo complianc-e with new codes and regulations. 'The riglu modorniz.1tion solution s01isfies high performance, reliabilhy, cflklency. superior ride quality and- most importantiy-ccologicalaspects. As the carbon footprint of products lnc1·easlngly becomes an important property, the ecologic suhabillry <1f elevators should be taken as one oft he prime driving points in modc..•rnlzt'i tlons.

e investment on a regenerative inverter l I never pay itself off during a human

lifetime.

Building owners who invest in modcml-zarion :uc usually concerned about compliance with new code, ride quaUtyand the cosr of modemizorion. Whether p:ani:al component ch:anges on c.'Xisting elevJtors or complete replacement of them takes place, the ele,-.tors can be successfully brought up to d21e on codes and ride qu:aUry. Howe\·er. rhe silu:arion of their carbon footprints might be a very different story.

All compct<nt el.--.tor companies m«t new standard requir<menrs and can pro>·ide good ride quality. Howe,·cr, energy consumption and eoologic•l aspects of che solutions oft'ered m>)' be very different. Nowad~ys, ecological assessment of ele\'ator modemitation Is wrongly degraded to energy consumpLion only, omitting rhe filet that material and maintenance 2~ two other major factors to be considered for a true ecologicale,,.luation.

Modernization of hydraulic eiC\ .. tors should be evalunted much differently than chat of traction elcvntors. lltis is been use h)·droulic elevators arc used up to five floors, and more thnn 70'16 of them see infrequent usage. A low·usngc elevator can be suitably rnodernlz.ctl by using n conventional hydrnulic elev:~tor

easily. Though irs enel'gy consumption du•·iog ope.-arion is h igher than a technologically advanced hydraulic or traction ele~'ator, the

investment (and, in most csses, the co tal ca!'))Qn footpr int) ofrhe conventiOn()J hydrJulic elevator arc much lower.

One of the most important components in moderni-zation is the eleva<Or controller. Energy consumption at srandby can be reduced to a minimum with the current generation of e levato•· comi'OUers. Sinee on1)' the drive unit and safety systems ofhydrauHc e levator

systems differ from traction e lev:uors, this article will m~tinly

consider modernization of d\c power uojr and control valves, and

try to correct the most common mistakes made in moderni7.ation of hydraulic elev~tor~.

What to Modernize An import<tnt step before inirinring a moderniz.ation is ro check

the elevator technical data and conditions of t he worklng

environment to derennine if the power unit, control· valve group and cylinder(s) are really suirable for the elevator. In this way, previously made d esign mistakes can be found and corrected . Change of usage of the elevator throughout the years, and results of application of new regulations may requil'e modifications in eJevatorspeed and/ or<:.:lpacity, which might require new

components to be used- that is, an in tensive srudy of the existing system is needed to dcrerm_ine what ro re new and what to reuse . Replacing an existing elevator with n new one should be the last

oprio.-'1, while this is both the most expensive and wors-t fot lhc environment.

Modernization of the Power Unit The power unit p roduces flow and determines the maximum

speed of the ram. Empty cabin weight o n the ram and payload of the elevator give the working pressure range. \.Vhen the power unit

is out of date and/orrhc speed ofthe elevator or lifting capacity is modified, t he power unit may need to be renovated. Depending on

the hydraulic drive technology used, the internal design, control valve, connections and size of the power un.it mighr be redesigned

in tb is process.

Modernization of the Cylinder The hydraulic cylinder shouJd not be changed unless necessary.

Doing so will incrt.>ase the roodernjz.acion cost coosider:--.bly, nnd the replacement of seals and drain pipes, and protecting against

corrosion are usually sufficient during moderniz.stion. However, damaged or bent rams, or heavily corroded cyUndcrs should be renovated or replaced. Another reason for cylinder replacement is tbc change of lifting copaciry. As a n~c of thumb, when elevatOr n·aftlc analysis allows. decrease the lifting capacity of the elevatol", instead of replacing the cylinder.

Using Advanced Technology ·n1e use of inverte rs ln hydrnuHc elevators has decreased energy

consumption, allowed smaller motor sizes, elimin:.ted high surge currenc.s, reduced noise, cooled oil and provided good ride performance. The level of such advanced elevator technology in

rnodernizarions d epends firstly on rhe usage o f d'le e levator. Secondly. con·ect selection of rhe technology is vital to obrain cost~effective benefits: investiog in che most adv:.--.nced vertical·

Figure I:Thc -unit

tnnsportntion technology on a low-usage elevowr is nom>olly not feasible. This is bec.tuse of the fact that the inverter and its pcriphenl devices ore costly ond require energy to be octive, e'"cn when the elewtor is on stondby.

No solution is :~ttnctive or ecological if it is not cost effective. Ke<!ping this in mind, for example, a low-usage elevator in a two·to·thrce-Ooor house with fewer than 20 cycles per day normally requires the update of some components for it to com1>ly with new codes. If ncccs~':lry, the elevator controller can be modified or replnced to minimiz.e standby energy consumption nnd surge cur.·cnt. (A quality mechanical valve is sunicicnt f<>r such elevators, while 1he fluid temperature remains nearly consHmt). On

the other hand, highly advanced technology solutions arc suitable for bigh-usnge elewtors. Such advanced technologies as voriable· voltage, variable-frequency (VWF)-driven control volvcs offer low levels of energy consumption, better ride quality and f.mcr in\"cstmcnt poyback.

during • human liferime.

Elevator Market Needs for Modernization Though the general trend in the ele•·ator industry i< townrd lifts

with lower energy requirements, the usc ofhydraulic elevarors with invcrrcrs (WVI'·dtiven control valves) bas not found enough appeal yet. "!his is because ofthe fact that existing solutions are

generally more demanding, cosrly nod difficult to maintain. loste:ld1 a transition solut ion with electronic control valves is most often used In modcrni~tltions. Electronic valves gencrt1lly p rovide 12-14% ener-gy saving., compared to 40-65% with WVl'·dl"ivcn

valves. On the other· hand, h igh starting current, noise and oil-heatingcharnctcristics wiJI be similar to those of mechanical vah•es.

There arc close correlations among energy sa'1ings. inveslment payoff duration ond cle•'lltor usage (Figure 2). With increasing elevator usage, payo« dur.ation decreases, and energy savings

increase. Compact, simple~to·impJemenr and inexpensi\·e V'VVF· dri•·en advanced solutions are needed ro establish on occcptable solution for the m3rkcr. Since most hydraulic elevators :1re low usage, it is necessary that the solution is practical and n(fordnblc to be applicable for low-usage elevarors.

Installation nnd maintcntmcc p roperties are of prime importance ro offer n cost-effective solution . ThcrcforcJ with n

1M any parts in a used elevator are not worn out and can be kept for many decades.

complex solution with many closed-loop systems nested into each other, using a motor encoder and special control board, would

require expert technicians to install and maintain more system components. As u rcsuh, the system cost wouJd increase, and pay·off dumrion would be much longer.

Solur ions like the llloin l lydraulics EV4 WVI' (Figure 3) nrc compact, simple and inexpensive, intended to be applied ro low-usage elevators with short payoff d urat ions. These also se•·ve ns

control valves: for modernizations, because they allow existing power units robe •·cused.ln the £V4 WVF's case, on existing lllnin EVlOO mech;~.nico.l valve on a power unit can be converted to :.tn EV4 \'Oive by using only a renovation kit. This enables quick

applicotion of modernizations and shortens the payoff duration.

Circular Economy and Environmental Impact The circul:lt cconom)' aims to rely on renewable energy,

minimize tracks, and eliminate rhe use of roxie chcmicol.; nnd get rid of waste through careful design. In the manufncruring industry, p roduct materials nnd components are designed for reuse without producing waste. On the other side, global warming and

persundc manufacturers to produce tnergy-cffidcm produces. As a result. optimum utilization of natural resources bas become an important issue in the elevator sector. Lifecyde assessment is rhe met bod by which 10 determine lbe environmental impoe1 of

produc iS, such as the environmental performance of ele• .. lors. \Vbe:n it comes to modernization, reuse of most existing

hydnulk components becomes of prime importance for the user and cn,,ironrnent. Many parts in a used eiC\':.ttor :lre not worn out and can be kept for mony decades. Considering the fact thai more

than 3.5 milJion hydraulic e levators are running worldwide, reusing compo nents insrcnd of replacing them reduces the cnvironmcnu'll impact and saves money. Changing all hydraulic componen1s

would incrc:Jsc modcmiz.:nion costs and will m:.kc o high cMbon imp3C.[.

A recent smdy by Hyd•·owore Elevation Technology AB of Sweden o n new clcv~nor insmll:nions and modernizations for IOW·U!Oige lifts (overogjng SO I rips per day) cl.,.rly showed 1ho1 hydraulic elevai01"1 are much more environmentally friendly 1hon traction ones. Figure 4 shows comparisons of environmental impacts for new inmllations (hydraulic and traction). The total environmental impact for hydnulic elewrors is 7'Jii less 1hon thai of

traction ones. In Figure 5, environmental impacts are comp0;red between hydraulic elevoror modernization (usoge category I) ond the full replactmem o f n hydraulic elevator with a t raction one. ~n1erein, the environmental impact with the traction elevator is 43%highcr.

In gencml, hydrnulic elevato rs are much more reliable thnn tmctio n e levators. The refo re, rheir maintenance genemtes much less impnct. l lydrllulic clcvMors. h aving fewer components with high-pcrformnnce copability, a ll working in o lubricated

environment, have longer lifecycles and less downtime, rcsuh ing in significant cost savings. In addition~ the most expensive spare part of a machine-room·less trnetion elevator is greater than 309' of the

total elc•·ator cost, while that figure is 4-6'llr. for • bydnulic eleo.·ator. These statistics were calculated onl)' via regular se:r\'ice visits; adding breakdowns and repairs would probably increase tnaction·elevutor imp:.11ct f!'\fen more. These results show th:u for low-usogc cle••otors, full replacement of hydraulic elevators with

tracLion ones would be disastrous for the environment.

"Ihe projocr also called for a gre<~t deal of skilled coordination of a number of aspects as more than J 20 subcontractors worked on the sire. Sire-access problems that obstructed rbe works and several inte rfacing aspects regarding the elevators, escaJators and

moving walks had to be resolved. The numerous inspections required by the project specifications had to be arranged and approved.

Special Performances and large Elevators 1'he HLA project included large freight c lcv:uors wirh

complicated systems. They are hydrauJjc el .. w :nors with load capacities of3.6. 5.5 and i.S T. They posed a challenge for accessing :md routing to the shaft locationJ especially given site restrictions and work by othCI' parties. As timing was of the essence, the oper:.ltiug re-am at HIA conducted several srudies and routing plans before the material arrived on site to make sure tbere

would be no de.Jays. Once the materials arrived, the routing plan IHtd ro be readjusted and improvised on several occasions to suit changing site con.djtions. Due ro tbe size of these mtils_, the opentdng team had w coordjnate temporary storage areas with the client ro ensure that they were kept in a safe environment with reduced risk of damage. Then, the elevators required:.\ special

installation procedure to ensure stability and proper operation. Otu··ing execution. safety monitoring is impol'tnnr ro ensure

teams a.re operating in the proper manner to avoid ruty near­misses or accidents. Technichms involved received specialized

training> and rhe operating ream implemented strict, efficient moniroring of all units, enabling high· risk areas to be located and preventative measures t~'lken. AdditionaU)', rhe operating ream monitored the acrivities of others around rhe units w ensure that

everything was done with the proper c:ue, pausing other parties' work if rherc was imminem risk. The operating ream also implemented a permit system to re(ain control when others used the conveyor syst·ems.

How Fast Could the Fastest Elevators Be? Examining what limits passenger-elevator speed and how faster ones will

come to be available

by Or. Albert So and Ricky Chan

Last year, lhe first ~1uthor of this article published .. Fastest Elevator - A Competition in High Technology" (ELEVATOR WORLD, September 2014), discussing various technologies developed b)' joternational manufacturers to break the speed record, now at 1,200 mpm (though not yet installed), while the previous records were ?SO mpm in Yokohama Landmark Tower, 1,010 mpm in Taipei 101 and 1,080 in the Shanghai Tower. The last sen renee of the article stated *a revolution in the elcvacor speed record is inexorable'" due co the comjnuous growth h\ height of ultra-high-rise buildings around the world, which are targeting 1

k.m tall. A reader, Pieter J. de Groot, commented (EW. December 2014)

thotthe maximum speed of elevators is limited by the rare of cbange of air pressure that can be role~ ted by passengers. It is well known that the atmospheric air pressure decreases at a rate of approxinmely 12 millibar (mb) per 100m, as mentioned In de Groot's comment. He further pointed our that tbe prcssuri'ting of cars1 which is ao undesin~ble complication but wi[b minimum d1ne benefits, does nor solve the problem of reducing the r<lte of cbonge of air pressure for passengers. 1bis is because control of the in-car air pressure [0 maim:~ in a constaot rate of change requires both depressurizing during the first half of an upward trip, theo pressu•·i~ing during the second half of the upward trip.

The amho1· response. also in the Iauer E\V issue. stated the mnnufacmrer of the super-high-speed elevators serving Taipei 101 gor a conuolled rare of change of in-cor air pressure nr 1.26mb per second (mbps), which is acceptable to most passengers. As • mnuer of fact. the particular clevnwr car at Taipei 101 is airtight1

and has :ln in-c;-~r barometer undcl' continuous :tnd complie:tred control by a blower. In other words, the passengers should feel comforrablc when l"iding i_n a super-fast clcvaror car, whatever the speed, provided fhat the race of cb1mge of in~car pressu1·e is undc1· conn·ol. lhis :uticlc will continue the aurhor response by explaini ng the physics behind the ~nswer, chen introduce a potenrial solurion for manufacnm:rs 10 continuously break speed records.

The Speed Limit Based on Physics of Air Pressure Variations

lhc acmal rate of change of air p1·essurc rhar limits clcv:.uor speed is the pressure external to the hoistway, not inside the car.

e.xplains why building interiors are U$Ually slightly pressuri1.ed - to make sure only indoor oir leaks out, while outdoor oir cannot leak in. In other words, it is desirable and possible to control the air pressure of the building inccrior by using mechanical ventilation for the purpose of saving energy. Sealing up all gaps on the far;ade would surely help.

An article on high·speed elevators serving Taipei I 0 J(lJ

mentioned chat whenever tbe atmospheric pressure changes inside or outside lhe elevator car, it would cause physiological discomfon to the passengers. '!he author reported that these elevators traveled at contract speeds of 1,010 mpm ( 16.8 mps) up and 600 mpm ( 10 mps) down over 382.2 rn. The atmospheric pressure difference between the clisparchingand destination noors in Taipei 101 is approximately 48mb. It is well known that any sudden change of armospberic pressure would nonnally have made some passengers fed quite uncomfortable or sick, just like in a.n airplane before landing. To solve this problem, Toshiba develo ped an atmospheric pressure regulating system to mitigate the discomfort due to difference in pressure inside ond oms ide rhe car when it is rraveling at bigb speed.

TheSdrne principle as that used in Taipei IO l 's case can be apptied to the study of the bypothctical l ,OOO·m·tall building, which was proposed in this anicle's previous section to be equipped with a super·bjgb-speed elevator trying co run :lt an imagiMry high controct speed of, say, 30 mps. By using this assumption and the namral pressure gradient of 12mb per 100m, the total pressure difference between the roof and ground Ooor is 120mb. As demonstrated in the previous section and in Taipei I 0 1•s cnse. a pattern with the l'ate of in-cnl' pressure change fixed at the same value from start to stop is tbe most wanted. ln its case, the in·c•r pressure change in an ascending cur could be sharply reduced to 1.29 mbps and also reduced during the descent to only 0.96 mbps,'11 which were well within the comfonablc tolemncc argued so far. These figures were achieved mainly due to a high­pressure blower gencrnring rhe necessary pressure wirhin the car. In the Taipei 101 case, the aerodynamic shape oft he car capsule was also mentjoned, while the first author of this aniclc srudied rhe car shape for enhancement of the aerodynamic performance of high·speed elcvatOrs.l•l

To address de G•·ooc·s main issue, when rhe car stops at the 1,000-m-bigb lsnding point sod the car landing doors ore opened, the passengers need to f.1.ce an immediate air~pressure drop of tens

of millibarsJ which is not tolerable by most passengers. A related study by the authors of this article has since pinpointed this sudden air-pressure drop when at the tallest point of the elevator and corresponding levels below. The study includes a series of calculations on how much added pressure would be required to

11eg:ne the pressure difference at differem heighrs and levels of this build.ing witb the lift car sbunling at 30 mps.

Reference is mode to Table 2 showing tbe changes in t ime, height) speed, in~c:u pressure, omdoor atmospheric pressure and

indoor pressure to be added for the captioned car traveling from ground floor to top floor at 990 m high with a consmnr acceletation and deceleration rotc of I mps'. Here, • uniform noor height of 4 m per floor is assumed. It can be seen that the whole journey takes 63 s. without the consideration of jerking, and that the h ighest added pressure of a pproximately 46mb occurs a[ a height of around 930-940 m above ground toward the e11d of the journey. When the added pressure is negative, the indoor air pressure bas to be lower than tbe atmospheric pressure at the same height, and vice versa

for a positive added pressure. To e)jminate the effect of a sudden pressure d rop as experienced

by passengers when a super-high-speed elevotor CM lands and opens the doors at every floor level. pressurization of the office building at different levels has to be p roperly controlled tlS

iiJustrated in Figure2 so as to balance out rhedras[ic pressure d ifference between the elevator c:.r and lobby.

This system applies a high-head fan to genernte h igh air pressure a t each floor whenever the required added pressure is posit ive (as shown in Table 2) to suit the calculated figures based on a I .26-mb drop per second oftrovclond a ' 'crtical r<:duction of0.12 mb perm. Of course, the oul·door atmospheric pressure varies bec.1.usc of various f.1.ctors1 such as instantaneous weather condit ions, seasons

Qf rhe year and the temperature setting of the centralized air· conditioning system. BUt, all such data can be fed to the bujJd ing­OHtnagement syslcrn. tbcn the in-cnr air~presslu·ization system for dynamic control of rhe indoor air pressure of every floor. This control is faciHtatcd by s tandard air .. handling systems as shown in

Figure 3. The mathematical theory and algorithms forselectingthe fans by which to achieve tbe precise pressure compensation as described above can also be obtained from and referred to in BS 5588-4: I 998 or the latest British Standard or European Norm correspoodi_og ro sraircasc pressw·ization and depl'cssurization.lll

Analysis 'll1ougb this method seems w be a potential solution for the

sake of sustainability, in addition to elevator riding comfort, there

are technical considerations. Although it is possible ro pressurize e,•cry floor1 it is impossible to pressurize the lift sbnft thnt e.'<reods from the ground Ooor to the top floor. When car/landiog doors open at a particular floor, braps around door edges must first be sealed up so t he car is only open to the lobby, instead of the lift shaft. Pl'essure over the whole floor. including the lobby, must be uniform. ln other words1 the car, lobby and che whole Ooor must

be airtight against the lift shaft. Crncks on the building fa~.ade and around fenestrat ions must be sealed, or the a ir leakage ra[e will be

rather high at higher floorsj as the re is an increasing pressure diffe1·ence in tens of millibars. Again, the stairways act like rhe lift shaft and, therefore, the air-pressure variation along the stairways is equivalent to that of the outdoors. Stainvays have to be

pressuri2ed, as well, as the trend of using elevators for fire escape is maturing, diminishing rhc reliance on stairways.

It is expected, though not estimated by your authors, that

energy consumed to c.~reate such an ~tirtight super·high-rise building could besubst:mtial. Fortunate.ly, the pressure d ifference between consecutive f1oors as inte rpolated between the values listed in Table 2 is not so high that air leakage between Ooors would not be a major concern. For short travels, time spent on ~t<:<:clcration and deceleration is rel:uivcly long; therefore. i1H:ar pressure control is less demanding where the I .26 mbps drop could always be fulfilled. The real challenge lies in a shuttle trip from the ground Ooor<o the tOp Hoorofo buildingolmost l km ••ll .

Conclusion 1l1is article argues that it is technically possible for elevators to

break the theorecical speed limit, say 21 mps as estimated, by using advanced heating. ventilation and air4 conditioning pressurization control. However, the authors agree with de Groot•s view, in general, that further competition on elevator~speed record

b1·eaking is nor th:'lt me:'lningful1 while rhere are mnny or her ways to tackle shuttle journeys insidesuper·higb·rise buildings. The establishment of shuttle terminals at different heights provides ~m

opportunity for passengers to get used to the lower a.ir pressure at a particular terminal before they proceed to change cars 10 get ro a higher ttnninat. Another way is to establish a pressure-adaptation

lobby at each high landing Aoor so pas-sengers take some time to stay there before <bey arc allowed to walk imo the core of rhe building. ·n,is method bas been used by de<tp·sea divers for years. As announced, the next speed record will be 20 mps. Let us see

bow far imemarional manuf.1crurers can go!

1'he picturesque rown of Augsburg, Gerrnany, was awash w ith

elevator-industry professionals from a round the world the week of Ocrober 13, 2015, all glltbered for rhe 12th irerarioo of lnterlift, rbe

industry's biggest bie.nni:'1l inrernarionnl trade fa ir. 1lle largest event since its premiere, Inrerlift 2015 welcomed 541 exhibitors from 43

countries and 20,440 visitors from nearly 100 nations in 42,500 m1

at the Messezentrum amjd cold and~ sometimes, rainy conditions.

According ro a survey given to lnrcrlift 20LS exhibitors and

visito rs by t he Gelszus Trade Fair Market Research agency, more than 70%S:lw the sirunrion oft he clcvoror indusrry worldwide ~lS considerably better than it was perceived to be rwo years ago, which may account for lnterlift 2015's record numbers. As for the

perception of this first-rime Inter lift ane11dee, the indusrl'y seerned to, indeed, be burst ing with innovation, education) energy and

excitement. lnterlift 2015 saw 1,500 more vis itors than in 2013, and most of

them beUeved in a bright future for rhemschrcs and the indusu·y. This belief served rhe 43exhibiting countries well during the fair's

durntion. Led by Germany's 160 exhibiting com parties, foreign

exhibitors were copped by I tal)•, as in years past, with 91 exhibiting companies, followed by China with 62, Turkey with 42and Spain

w ith 36. Fr!lncc and Great Britnin fe~nured 16 exhibiting companies each; Greece, 11; ~md the U.S. and the Netherlands, nine each,

rotu>ding out the top I 0 exhibiting countries.

Aside from the impressive numbers and positive forecast, this year•s Incerlifr stood om from irs fotmer iterations fol' a variety of

reasons. During JnterHft's opening ceremonies, commenced by VFA-InterUft e .V. President Acbim Hiitter, AFAG Messen uod

Elevator Signal Fixtures and User Features Documenting the various signal fixtures, their terminologies

and their unique applicability

by Samson 8abu

Signal fixtures such as push bunons~ indicatOI'S, hnll lanterns and displays play :-an import:lnt role in any clew tor instl}llarjon in communicating and/or exchanbring information with the "crual users of an elewuor. From very basic origins, roday's signal fixlures have been developed extensively by the manuf•ctw-ers to meet user dem:tnds and improve their way of communic:~ring with users. Various factors, including user-specific :~nd application-specific requirements, have contributed to the wide rnnge of signal ttnures ••ailable today. This article attempts to document the various signal lt<rures. the terminologies •ssociated with them and the applicability of • sig,tal fixture to a particular project requirement (t serves as an aid to non-ele\~tor professionl'l1s to understand the names and terminologies, and how to describe suit:~.ble fixtures in their projects.

Types of Standard signal fixtures include hall call stations, car-operating panels (COPs), indica10rs, lanterns, gongs, firefighters· control (lobby) panels and floor-registration J>anels. Special-operation features include displays. speakers, intercoms. special-operation key switches, c.ard-reader acce.ss control, closed~cirt"Uit TV (CCTV) cameras, induction loops, Wi·Fi access points, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) signal booster$ and evacualiOn communication systems.

\Vith the introduction of destination-control systems, a new line of signal fixtures was developed, including floor/ landing registration panels, destination­floor indic:ators, elevator drsignation plates and hlnterns. A lithe signal fixtures can be provided in rwo different fashions (i.e., with and without faceplate). In many instances, signal fi.xtures with a faceplate are used wherein the signal elements (such as push buttons. indicators and lamps) are mounted on a separate place at its front. lb is faceplate is then attached to the walls/ panels provided by the architect. The faceplates can be

elevator car at any landing and its (tircction of travel. lbe ball lanterns have two lamps- one to indicate up and another to

indic:.ne down directions. Upon Mrivttl of a c.tr ar :tny landing (or up to 4 s. prior to actual arrival), depending on tbe travel direction

of the car> the up or down lamp illuminates and blinks. Hall lanterns :tre also used for the "immediate prediction"

("earl)r car announcement .. ) function. 'llliS is applicable for three or more elevators in one group. \Vhen a user presses the push button

on a ha11 call station, the :tSSigned elevator is immediately announced by way of illuminating the up or down lamp of an elevator that will serve the use r.

Arrival Gongs Arrival gongs at landings arc often combined with hall lanterns.

'lbe gongs produce a soft~ electronic sound :.1t each hmding to

announce the ar'l'ival of an elev<tmr. Tite gongs sound once to

iodicare traveling up and rwice to indicate traveling down. with adjustable volume. Oo simpler installations, a car-top arrival chime is used. The unit is mounted on top of the elevator car. Lnstead of a soft electronic sound. • bell sound is produced.

COPs The COP is located inside each elevator car. It contains all the

push bunons for the floors served by the elevator. It also has inscriptions showing tbe capacity of the elevator, the name of the manufacturer and a .. No Smokin~ sign. It is the complete

operating pane) that includes the indicators, communication system ( intercom), maintenance/service controls and any other speciaJ~operation fe-ature-s, such as ~tccess control. They can be

tmditiona1 segment/ matrix indicators or LCD indicators. COPs also contain Ooo•· name labels! designation plates

indicating the services on specific floors. Such labels are e ither engraved on the COP or exist as custom~ made stuck-on 1abe1s

affixed adjaccm tO the push buttons. A single COP per elevator car is provided as standard. For

high-capacity and large e levator cars, tw·o COPs are provided for operational convenience. Similarly. for e1evawrs with more than one entr.~occ, one COP is dedicated for each entrance. Generally, elevators with more than one entrance have different numbers for

each enrnmce. P1·oviding a dedicated COP for each c1urance is necessary to correctly display the floor levels on the indic•wrs and push buttons. Such COPs also bouse dedicated buttons to control the opening/ dosing of doors at each entrance.

COl's have traditionally been provided with physical, micro· click push buttons. However, touchscreen COPs arc often

provided. Touchscreen panels are helpful in quick reconfigurat.ion of the push buttons, to change floor names >nd establish hot buttons for frequently used floors. Touchscreen panels can also display the building map to assist in way finding.

For the Disabled

On any elevator installation, the best practice is to incorporate features for the dis~1bled. Specific features required are tactile/ bmillc push buttons, audible response from push bunons and audio announcements. Generally, sucb features arc integrated on the main COP itself. However, when the main COP cannot

acconunodare such features due to special designs such as

.;,io..JJ 4.IS ~ ~"

touchscreen COPs, a separate, standaJone COP is provided for disabled users. This panel is located at a much lower level to ensure easy accessibility. Special buttons are incorporated on rhis panel (such as (ojextend door open" to extend the door~open time) for the dis:.tbled to comfortably enter and exit the elevator.

Car Indicators The indicators inside e1evator cars are generally located on the

COP and provide information on tbe direction of travel and position (floor) of the tift car in real time. Generally, a numerical and an :trrow indicator are included. Alternatively, rhe indicatOI' can be located above the door at transom I eve]. The car indicators a1·e p1·ovided for each COP inside the elevator car, especially for cars with more than one entr.'lncc.

Car Lanterns On simpler installations (such as back-of-house, service

elevators), the lantern lamps are mounted at the entrance column oft he elevator car. This rype of lantern is \'isjble only after the doors open and is used simply to indicate the direction of travel.

Similar to hall lanterns, car lanterns are also provided with an arrival gong. 11>e gongs sound once to indic.•te traveling up and rwice to indicate tnweling down, with <.ldjustable volume. Ahematively~ a car~rop arrival chime can be used. The unit is mounted on top of tbe elevator car. Instead of a soft electronic sound: a bell sound is produced. It is common to see both the car .,.,;val chime and arrival gong(from the lanterns) sounding at the same time. This is not desirable, and either the chime or gong must be eliminated.

Push Buttons Push buttons are the important and interactive part of signal

fixtures. ·n,e users input tbcir desired service via d1e push button, which is generally provided for each Roor served. Push buttons a.re also provided ro initia[e door close, door·open and alai'Jn/ iorcrcom actions. They arc, ideally, provided with disabled friendly features, such as htctile letters, braille letters and response beep. Alternatively, tactile and Braille stuck-on labels can be used beside each push button.

The active part of a push button should be clearly djstinguished from its surroundings by way of a contrasting color and/or raised push-button panel. On publk·transpormcion installations, exrro-largc push butrons m"y be provided.

Push button locationJ layout, maximum height and spacing should comply with the recommendations of EN 81-70 to ensul"c

Key Switches

Key switches are provided witb the elevator car and/ or landings to enable specific operational modes, such ~s VIP, parking_,

Pirefighter's Emergency Operntioos Phase f! opemtion, hospital code-blue operotion, etc. Special-purpose key switches (such •s emergency-power transfer, fire recaiJ and homing) are provided on remote-monitoring/-conrrol panels (supervisory panel/ watch board/lobby panel) for the elevators.

Special GradeNandal Proof

The signal fixrures provided for elevators within public· m:msporration systems (pedestrian bridges, train srarions, airpottS1

parks, etc.) should be designed compliant to safety standard EN 81 · 7J. Specific features include screw-le-ss fixing for faceplates with IP X3 water resistance, TP 54-grade push buttons with !'educed and least-possible gaps nrouod push burrons, inrlic:UOI' panels hidden bchi11d stainless-steel grilles, c11gr~ved/ctchcd labeling and stainless·stcel/ merallic push~button panels.

Special Gradel /PRated

When an elevator instaiJntion is cl~ssifiod as '-~outdoor" (i.e., the elevawr signal fixtures are exposed to weather

condirions), the dust and water protection for such fixtures mu~'t be increased to withstand the severe atmospheric (temperature and humidity) conditions. A minimum of IP 54 (NEM1\ 3) protection is recommended for tbe outdoor signal fixtures. Typicol applic3lions include pedestrian bridges, marine elevators, and mine and pharmaceutical applications.

Special Grade/ Explosion Proof

When an elevator installatioo is located within a highly inflammable environment, such as petrochemical factories, suitably protected signal fixmrcs must be used to prcvcm them from causing explosions. The fixtures should be suitably Msigncd to contain electric sparks and be certified to specialty codes, such asATEX.

Emergency Communication System/ Intercom

Inrercom systems enable two-way communication between the users within the elevator car and the receivers outside, immediately around the elevoror insrallorion (i.e., at the elevator lobby or machine room). 'Thtse are generally hands· free systems, supported on battery power for power·failure conditions. The push-button

For long cable runs such as those in high·rise elevators, use of fiber·optic cabling is pt·eferred, considering irs superior properties, such as less distonion. less interference. high·qunlity transmission of images and better security.

Induction l oop EN Sl· 70 recommends provi~ion of a communication a id, such

:-ts ao induction loop, on clev:uor cars to serve people with hc:~.ring

d ifficulties. Elevato r announcements a re connected to an

induction·loop amplifier., which drives a current into a loop placed around the elevnrorcar. Wh en a userwirh a he1lring aid sets his or her receiver to the .. T ,. setting, the receiver can pick up the signal from the induction loop and convert it into clear sound comfortable for the hearing impaired.

Wi-Fi Access Point As more and more users are becoming dependent on

smarrphones, JP~based communication (voice over IP) systems, it is essential to provide uninterrupted Wi~F'i for elevator use1·s. The ideal way to realize th is service is through hardwired Ethernet extenders with wireless access points on each e levator car. The

extender is connected to th e buil&ng network via twisted-pair cables incorporoted within the elevator traveling cable.

assigned, its location and the

directions to reacb it. Landing

registration panels are provided at the elevator lobbies for this purpose. '!be panels can be a traditional keypad rype ora modern touchscreen type.

Wide varieties of landing registrar ion panels are available to

deliver sophisticated user

rcqu.ircmcnts, including disabled, VIP

and group. Panels can be int"l,>"rated with access·control systems that

recognize each user. Upon swiping :m

access card, it automatically recognizes the user and registers a call

on his or her behalf to a floor notmally visited. The landing registration pane ls can be of the wired or wireless

type. Wireless ones are useful ro inst~u1dy i.n.crease the number of landing panels ro serve a sudden rush, such as for ballrooms, conference centers, etc. Since these arc wireless units, the location

of landing panels can be very flexible. With suitnble interface/ appliC3tion, even tablcl PCs and smartpbones can be converted

into a landing panel. Depending on the crowd·management concept, the landing

panels <:3n be integrated with turnstiles (speed gates). Here, when

the user s'vipes his or her access card on the turnstile, the system

automatkally recognizes the user, opens tl1espeed gate- and, at the

same time, registers a call on the user's behalf to a Ooor normally

visited. lhe system informs the user which elevator has been

assigned, its location and the directions to reach it.

In case ofrrnnsfernble eme,·genC)' (generator) power supply, rhis pnnel also contains an emergency power transfer switch to manually select and feed the emergency power to aoy selected elevator. Centralized intercom nnd public·nddrcss systems can also be imegrated '"''ilhin 1his panel to monitor, control and communicare wirh each elevator car.

Computerized Elevator Monitoring System This is a standalone computer system with a monitor and a

cenrml processing unit, which is connecced with the elevators'

conrrol panels. The real·rime infonnation regarding rhe current operating status of e:acb elewtor, and i1s position and direction of movement are displayed graphically on an LCD monitor. Alarm conditions nrc also displ•)·ed, with • sound.

The compurerizcd system roeords the performance of the ele,·ators and helps in reviewing their waiting dme for funhe.r an:llysis and impro,•ement. This system an olso be used to recaiJ the elevator to any desired lobby for VIP service. Individual noors can be locked/ unlocked to the users for security reasons. 1he syscem can be hudwired or web based, wherein multiple elevator groups on a large campus arc connected to one t.'C!ntralized system for monitoring and control.

Conclusion Ench building p1·ojecr requires n specific set ofsignnl fixtures

and user featu res, depending on rhc opplicocion tmd the client's

requirements. Such requircrncnts should be clcnl'ly reviewed, nod a clear tender specification must be developed including all the desired fixruros/fenrures. It is esscnrinl to understand the re•,n inologies used wi1hin chc clev:uo•· industry to incorporate them in rhc render specification. Your nuthor believes rhis article will help architects, e ngineers and specification writers understand and include appropritnc signal fixnu·es and user features in their projecrs.
