Heat loss through the lift shaft

heat loss through

flowing out of warm air
Lftungsffnung

Many lift shafts currently represent a gap in heat insulation:

non-closable openings in the top of the shaft lead to an
uncontrolled cooldown of individual floors.
Through the joints in the lift shaft doors, the warm air flows
unhindered from the heated building into the shaft. In addition, the air in the shaft is heated through the walls.

Thermostat

This heated air rises in the shaft due to the chimney effect
and ultimately escapes through the permanent openings at
the top of the shaft. These openings at the top of the shaft
are necessary to draw off smoke and toxic fumes in case
of a fire. In addition, the necessary air quality within the
shaft is guaranteed by these openings. During regular operation, however, there is no reason to do not close these
openings.

Solution

Energy savings
In a four-storey building, a pressure of 8 Pa arises in 12m-high
elevator shaft due to an upward thermal flow at an outside
temperature of 4C and an indoor temperature of 20C.
Through a shaft opening of 3535 cm and backflow openings
(of the same size in sum) in the cellar, the air flows at a speed
1.5 m/s. At an outside temperature of 4C, this air flow of over
600 m/h generates a power dissipation of 3 kW, which corresponds to a heat loss of 1250 kWh a month. At an oil price of
CHF 75.00 per 100 litres, costs to the amount of CHF 1,128.00
a year result. In regular operation, these openings are closed
and the heating oil saved.

Ventilation dampers
The openings in the lift shaft can be closed using automatic
ventilation dampers. At temperatures e.g. above 35 to 40C,
the dampers open, under 30 to 25C, they close. The dampers are regulated via adjustable thermostats at the top of the
shaft (or in the power room). The main entry level (near by the
fire department key switch or close to the lift holding position
in case of a fire) and the power room, both are equipped with
a manual switch to open the dampers. In case of a power
failure or intentional release, the dampers open automatically.
When electricity is shut down, the dampers remain open.

OG

The supply lines for the damper actuation and shaft lighting
can be installed in a protective tube. The seal tightness of the
dampers has no special requirements; no fire dampers are
required. In case of the risk of the formation of condensate,
dampers with rubber lip seals and heat-insulated damper
blades should be mounted.
