Elevator Mechanical Design | Mechanical Lift Elevator | Mechanical Elevator System
In this elevator rescue training video, instructor Geoff Davis dives into the inner workings of elevators, specifically focusing on the electro-mechanical variety. The instructors highlight the key differences compared to hydraulic elevators - more moving parts, cables, and a counterweight system. They explain that the counterweight is designed to be heavier than the elevator's maximum capacity, ensuring it always remains above the car and preventing falls even during a complete safety system failure, while introducing components like hoist ropes and the sheave brake, offering a glimpse into the mechanics that keep elevators safe and functional.
Below is a transcript of this video:
The hoist way of an electro-mechanical is going to have a lot more stuff, a lot of moving parts, a lot more moving cables.
You have that counterweight moving up and now behind you, a lot more going on above these than a hydraulic.
The hoist ropes going up to the machine room. On the right. That's the approach that we'll go down to the elevator, going back up the a-driven machine room. Ropes going down off the machine down to the elevator.
This is how these things are anchored in the machine room themselves is literally just a piece of metal. The cables coming up through being bolted in.
If you have a complete and total malfunction of every safety system, on an elevator, and it's going to move freely. Those elevators [are] going to move up, not down because of this counterweights. A counterweight is equal to maximum capacity of the elevator plus 40%.
So, there's no way we're ever going to be able to tip that scale to put enough on an elevator to make it fall, because it’s heavier than the counterweight.
If you open the doors on one and that counterweight is in that back wall right in front of you. You know that that all there has to be all the way up.
On the right is a sheathe break there. If the elevator senses that is moving too fast that sheathe brake will collapse on the sheathe and physically make it not.

    You have to think about where the water is going and what it is accomplishing, not Just squirt. At the angle it is laying on the windowsill, the spray from the interior nozzle is actually going horizontally across to the opposite wall rather than the ceiling. This is good as the water and air will quickly reverse direction and head out the window. If it did hit the ceiling it would be sucked out topo quickly and not get on the burning material. Imagine hanging it from a second-floor window where the main pipe was vertical. the water would hit the ceiling at a 45-degree angle which is also good. I would add additional nozzles to make sure the actual burning material was getting coated no matter what the angle.

    I really enjoy the comments here. Please inform yourself before making dumb statements. This truck is in the testing procedure, so there will be some things improved in the final version. The firebrigades who are using them rn (Berlin / Amsterdam for example) say that this truck is nearly too capable. The electric System can be powered by a diesel generator when a call takes longer, but ou of 400 calls, the berlin firebrigade only had the generator turning on once, after a fire involving 7 cars. Screens have been in use on a lot of firetrucks over the last decade. the question is not buttons or screens, but userfriendly or not. there are buttons who are a piece of crap as well are there screens ;)

    I'm just not an early adopter--a bit of a skeptic. I feel like something as important as fire apparatus should be using tried and true technology. Let them make electric cement trucks for several years before investing in electric fire apparatus. My free thoughts... (you get what you pay for).

    • @PyroShields

      When they built these trucks I"m sure there were experts there to offer their advice what a firetruck must be capable to handle. Does this make any sense to you.

    • @PhoneRanger-ij4wc
      @PhoneRanger-ij4wc 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@PyroShields I understand. Sometimes experts make mistakes. I'm just sharing my thoughts. Let me ask this. What is the motive behind the electric fire apparatus? Did it originate because it performs better? Does it pump more water? Does it run longer without requiring refueling/recharging? Is it more cost effective?

    • @PyroShields
      @PyroShields 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@PhoneRanger-ij4wc I'm sure you're aware how we are switching from ICE vehicles to EV's. I guess this is what you may call the pilot program. EV's do cost more so I doubt it's more cost effective. I'm not a first responder so I would not know the performance compared to diesel.

    • @PhoneRanger-ij4wc
      @PhoneRanger-ij4wc 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Switching from ICE to EV? Yes, some segments are experimenting with switching. I'm not sure the fire service should be one of the early places to have a "pilot program." You are aware that this vehicle still has a diesel engine onboard because the experts realize it is very possible that the electricity will give out. That is not "replacing" ICE. Again, just the opinion of an admitted skeptic.

    The RTX is a piece of junk. They have class wide tank leaks, and they are severely undersprung, putting them at increased risk of rollover given their narrow, tall Euro chassis. They have limited battery range, so if they are on an extended scene a diesel generator kicks in to charge the battery and power the engine, eliminating the environmental benefits. AND they cost twice the price of conventional engines. They are just not ready for prime time!

    I have done gas cooling for most of my 30 year's of service. This nails what I see. Straight stream goes through the gasses and cools the surfaces . Colling the hottest part first. Cooling ahead. As it steams off the surface it cools the gases. Once you see the seat of the fire a couple of pulses. That steam release will cool more gasses. Best part is this is easy to teach, don't require expensive kit, and works for most situations. P.S. Australian Fire Fighter.
