Passenger Elevators

In the era of modern urbanization, the face of cities is determined by high-rise buildings. The most important component that ensures the functionality of these buildings is undoubtedly passenger elevators. As Dizayn Lift , we see elevators not just as a mechanism, but as a work of art that is a unity of engineering and design. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the history, types, working principles, safety systems and future trends of passenger elevators.

1. The Evolution of Passenger Elevators: From Past to Future

Although elevator technology has existed since ancient times, the modern passenger elevator was founded by Elisha Otis in 1852. The invention of the safety brake made it possible to safely transport people up tall buildings. Today, we are talking about "smart" elevators, controlled by artificial intelligence, that travel tens of meters per second.

The construction boom in Azerbaijan, especially in the city of Baku, has increased the demand and quality standards for passenger elevators. Dizayn Lift brings global innovations to our country to meet these changing needs.

2. Technical Classification of Passenger Elevators

Passenger elevators are divided into several categories based on their operating principle. Each system has its own application area and advantages.

A. Electric (Traction System) Elevators

These elevators operate with steel cables and a counterweight system.

Machine Room (MR): Traditional system, requires a dedicated room on the roof of the building.
Machine Roomless (MRL): A favorite of modern architecture. The engine is located inside the shaft, which saves usable space in the building.

B. Hydraulic Lifts

These oil-pressure elevators are typically used in buildings up to 5-6 stories high. They are suitable for carrying heavier loads and are characterized by low energy consumption (during descent).

C. Panoramic (Glass) Elevators

These elevators, which are mostly used in shopping malls and hotels, provide visual pleasure to passengers. Dizayn Lift uses high-quality triplex glasses and aesthetic frames in panoramic solutions.

3. Main Components of Modern Passenger Elevators

For an elevator to function perfectly, hundreds of details must work in a coordinated manner:

Control Panel (Controller): It is considered the brain of the elevator. It controls all calls and the movement algorithm.
Motor and Drive (VVVF): Adjusts the elevator's speed and stopping sensitivity.
Cabin: The area where passengers are seated. Ventilation, lighting, and design are at the forefront here.
Door Systems: Telescopic or center-opening automatic doors.

4. Security Systems: Uncompromising Quality

Safety in elevators is not just an option, it is an absolute necessity. Compliance with EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 standards covers the following systems:

Overspeed Limiter: Activates mechanical brakes if the elevator exceeds the set speed.
Light Curtains (Photocell): Infrared sensors that prevent passengers from being trapped when doors are closing.
ARD (Automatic Rescue Device): A battery system that brings the elevator to the nearest floor in the event of a power outage.
Overload Sensor: It gives an audible warning and blocks movement when the elevator is overloaded beyond its capacity.

5. Energy Efficiency and Environmental Approach

In the context of the global energy crisis, the energy efficiency of elevators has a significant impact on a building's overall utility costs.

Regenerative Drives: The energy generated when the elevator descends or ascends is returned to the electrical grid.
LED Lighting: Smart systems that minimize energy consumption in standby mode.
Gearless Systems: Reduces friction and prevents environmental pollution.

6. Interior Design in Passenger Elevators

The cabin interior design shapes the overall prestige of the building. Dizayn Lift offers its customers a wide range of:

Stainless Steel: Available in satin, mirror or gold effect options.
Natural Stone and Marble: Luxurious look for flooring.
Laminate and Wood: A warm and cozy atmosphere for residential complexes.
Multimedia Panels: LCD screens for broadcasting news, advertisements or music inside the elevator.

7. Planning and Installation Stages

Installing a passenger elevator requires serious engineering calculations:

Traffic Analysis: The number of people who will move in the building during the day is calculated and the number and speed of elevators are determined.
Frost Preparation: The accuracy of dimensions and the tolerance of the walls are checked.
Mechanical Installation: Positioning of rails, brackets and motor.
Electrical and Regulatory: Software writing and test runs.

8. The Importance of Maintenance and Inspection

After the elevator is installed, it needs regular maintenance. Preventive inspection carried out once a month:

It prevents major malfunctions in advance.
Extends the wear life of parts.
It provides psychological comfort to passengers.

9. Common Mistakes in Elevator Selection

Focusing Only on Price: Cheap elevators mean high maintenance costs and frequent breakdowns in the future.
Not Considering Shaft Dimensions: Shafts that do not meet standards during the design phase limit elevator selection later.
Unprofessional Installers: Improper installation can cause even the most expensive elevator to operate noisily and unstable.

10. Elevators of the Future: Our Vision

Artificial intelligence and IoT (Internet of Things) are entering the elevator industry. As Design Elevator , our goal is to:

Remote Monitoring: The system itself sends us a warning before a failure occurs.
Contactless Control: Call the elevator with a mobile app or voice command.
Antibacterial Systems: Healthy environment with UV-C lamps and air purification filters.
