The GeN2 Lux system is the smart choice for ‘green’ buildings.

REGEN DRIVE

A typical lift includes three major components:the machine, the lift car and the counterweight.The counterweight is designed to balance a half-loaded car. Electrical power is generated when aheavily-loaded car travels in a ‘down’ direction ora lightly-loaded car travels in an ‘up’ direction(green area of graph).

With a non-regenerative drive the energy generated isdissipated in a set of resistors creating a waste-heatload in the building.

With a regenerative drive, the energy generated is fedback into the building’s grid where it can be used byother loads connected to the same network. The energyconsumed with a non-regenerative drive is representedby the yellow area while with a regenerative drive theenergy consumed is just the difference between theyellow and green areas.

The amount of energy savings due to regenerationdepends on various system parameters and configu-rations such as car load, speed, length of run, trafficpattern and system efficiency.

As the preferred choice for ‘green’ building initiatives,ReGen drives deliver substantial energy savings whilehelping to meet or exceed established worldwidestandards.

• Energy savings (up to 75%)

• Low harmonic distortion (typically below 5%) andreduced Radio Frequency Interference

• Operational cost savings through reduced peakpower demand and decreased energy consumption

• Optimal performance - the drive operates withvoltage fluctuations of up to 30%.

A ‘GREEN’ MACHINE

Neither the belts nor the gearless machine withsealed-for-life bearings require any form of pollutinglubricants.

The low inertia gearless machine is equipped witha highly efficient PM synchronous motor of radialconstruction.

The result is a machine which is up to:

• 50% more efficient than conventional gearedmachines.

• 10% more efficient than conventional gearlessmachines with induction asynchronous motors.

• 15% more efficient than other machines withPM motors of axial construction design.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT LED LIGHTING

Superior quality with a longer lifeUp to ten times longer lasting that a conventionalfluorescent source, LED lighting is fitted as standardon the GeN2 Lux system. Besides saving costs,a lift has to be taken out of service far less frequentlyfor maintenance visits which in turn reduces downtime.

Importantly, also, an automatic switch-off modeoffers up to 80% energy savings over a fluorescentsource. And repeated switching on and off does notaffect its lifetime. Finally, light quality, too, isimproved as LED lighting experiences none of theflickering associated with a fluorescent source.

Running the whole length ofthe car operating panel, LEDlighting also achievesimportant energy savings.

VDI 4707 CLASSIFICATION

A standard established in 2009 by Verein DeutscherIngenieure, the authoritative association of Germanengineers, VDI 4707 assesses the energy performanceof lifts taking into account load, speed, frequency ofuse and travel height - both during travel and standbymodes.

The energy demand of a lift is rated using sevendifferent classes from A to G where A reflects thehighest rating possible (the least energy used) andG the lowest (the most energy used).

Measurements taken on installations with standardconfigurations prove that the GeN2 Lux lifts haveearned a Class A rating so achieving the very highestenergy efficiency criteria.Note: “Usage category” shown on the table is calculated based ontypical average number of travels per year and average travel time(from REM™ system database) for each GeN2 Lux duty.

EXCEPTIONAL RIDE QUALITY

Replacing metal ropes with smooth, flat beltsmeans a quieter and smoother ride.Enhanced ride quality is achieved through the combi-nation of a number of factors. Otis’ flat polyurethane-coated steel belt which eliminates the metal-to-metaleffect of conventional ropes results in quiet operation.The rollers also contribute to ride quality as doesthe gearless machine combined with a closed-loopvariable frequency ReGen drive with vector control.The latter also assures outstanding stopping accuracy(within +/- 3 mm at every landing).

The Compass™ system enhances lift efficiency and reduces bothwaiting time and travel time.

COMPASS DESTINATION MANAGEMENT

The strength of the optional Compass system is that itoffers passengers an efficient and personalised serviceat the same time as improving system performance.

Unlike conventional dispatching, the Compass systemhelps avoid congestion and transports passengers totheir desired floor with less waiting time and fewerstops.

Passengers input their destination with keycards or,manually, using touchscreens and keypads strategicallyplaced in the lobby.

The system instantly directs them to designated carswith each passenger knowing which car to take - somoving directly to the appropriate car location.

Knowing the right car to enter helps avoid confusionand passengers automatically rushing to the next carthat arrives. Hence it enhances traffic flow immeasurably.

Passengers travelling to adjacent floors are assignedthe same car. This, too, significantly reduces traveltime by limiting the number of stops per trip.
