Door Technology for High Rise Applications

摘要

Designing, building, installing and maintaining elevators for high rise is not such an easy matter since high performances couple with strict constraints. Design must take into consideration issues and effects that are normally not significant in ordinary buildings. From an elevator component supplier viewpoint, in such situations it's very important to pay attention to elevator doors, since they are the most critical device in terms of people safety, and also affect the overall system performances; therefore, one of the main concerns is letting the door systems work in the best conditions. In the paper we will define the variables that, in high rise environments, have impact on the door systems and on their operating characteristics in terms of performance, quality, reliability and aesthetic requirements.
