How Does the Vacuum Elevators Work

 



The Vacuum Elevator combines a linear vertical cylinder with a lift car that moves up and down through the power of air suction. The operation of the elevator is based on the upward push generated by the difference between the atmospheric pressure on the top of the car and the under the car. The vacuum created as a result of the pressure difference is achieved by turbines operating as exhaust fans which are located at the top of the elevator. This is used to move the lift car upwards.

A sliding air-tight seal that surrounds the piston gear allows an almost frictionless movement to hoist the car due to the pneumatic depression generated on the upper part. The inflow of air is regulated by a valve to control the pneumatic depression, enables descent, and controls the speed of the car.

On the lower part of the shaft, it is open to ensure the free entrance of air at atmospheric pressure. A perimeter seal is placed on each floor to create a self-sealing atmospheric pressure. The lift car comes with traditional locking devices to maintain the pressure difference required to move between floors. In case of a fall, a chute is activated as a self-braking mechanism.
