State-of-the-art ecological elevators are used where energy saving and the resulting environmental benefits are very important.
"Ecological" elevators can be either hydraulic or mechanical, with similar technical specifications as the conventional ones.
A hydraulic "ecological" elevator is fitted with a pre-adjusted Bucher electronic valve, and it is driven by a VVVF Inverter system. LEDs are normally used for providing the car with lighting, and the lift controller is put on standby automatically, thus deactivating all displays and lights and the inverter when the elevator is not being used. To ensure even higher levels of energy saving, a set of counterweights can be used in certain cases. The end result ensures top-level quality plus maximum energy saving, even of up to 50%. Accurate parking is ensured, whereas speed, and therefore energy consumption, is controlled and adjusted automatically, in accordance with the load being transported.
A mechanical "ecological" elevator is fitted with a gearless motor and is driven by a VVVFInverter system. LEDs are used for providing the car with lighting, and the lift controller is put on standby automatically, thus deactivating all displays and lights and the inverter when the elevator is not being used.
Mechanical "ecological" elevators offer perfect quality of motion and parking, while ensuring energy saving of up to 50%.
Every "ecological" elevator is accompanied by appropriate certificates, as well as an energy design and a certificate of energy consumption classification.
