The technology for elevator evacuation equipment is becoming increasingly advanced, partly due to the strict demands of safety regulations.
Challenge
The challenge for epic power
In the face of power outages or emergency situations such as fires, having systems that ensure effective, fast, and safe evacuation for occupants is essential. It is necessary to equip the elevator with technology for elevator evacuation.
It was to implement an emergency evacuation system in a 1350 kg elevator, complying with the Elevator Regulations EN81.72 and BS9999, which cover elevators that can be used for firefighting and evacuation purposes.
The goal was to guarantee continuous operation during power outages or fire alerts without the need for a diesel generator or major modifications to the installation.
Solution
e3 (epic evacuation equipment). The provided solution
e3 System
It was decided to install the e3 (epic evacuation equipment) system in a scenario that met all the requirements mentioned above. For this purpose, we had the collaboration of the company One Lift Group.
Implementation
The implementation was carried out in the machine room where the elevator control is located, without the need for additional construction or structural changes.
Benefit
The benefit obtained thanks to evacuation elevator technology
- The elevator, 1350 kg, two floors (6-7 meters), is one of the many cases where this system fits.
- In the event of power outages or fire alerts, the system ensures its operation, allowing for more than 100 trips without interruptions. This ensures constant functionality even in potential adverse situations.
- The installation complies with the most stringent safety standards and ensures the use of the elevator during the necessary evacuation time for that setup.
