Explanation

They play a vital role in ensuring a safe evacuation process in times of disaster such as fire or earthquake. These elevators are especially critical when fire escapes are not sufficient.

Technical Information

Features of Emergency Elevators:

Fire-Resistant Structure:

The cabin and elevator doors are made of fire-resistant materials.

They are equipped with seals and barriers that prevent smoke and heat transmission during a fire.

Emergency Power Supply:

There is an emergency generator or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that allows the elevator to continue operating in the event of a power outage.

This power supply ensures that the elevator remains operational in times of disaster such as fire or earthquake.

Special Control System:

In emergencies, the elevator is automatically programmed to go to safe areas for evacuation.

In the event of a fire, the elevator does not go to the floors where the fire is located and is safely directed to the nearest evacuation floor.

Rescue teams can manually control the elevator.

Protection Against Smoke and Water:

It is specially designed against factors such as smoke and water, so it remains operational even if fire extinguishing systems are activated.

Elevator shafts are usually insulated against water leakage.

Access for Rescue Teams:

There may be a special elevator reserved specifically for firefighting and rescue teams.

Emergency elevators generally provide safe access for rescue teams, allowing rapid intervention.

Large Capacity and Cabin:

They have large cabins and high carrying capacities to facilitate the transportation of rescue teams and evacuees.

They are also sized appropriately to carry emergency equipment such as wheelchairs and stretchers.

Low Vibration and Comfortable Movement:

Vibration-reducing mechanisms are used to provide a more comfortable and safe journey for people who panic or are injured during emergencies.
