Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators

Residential environments are where pneumatic elevators are usually used. Because they are less expensive to install and maintain and take up less room, they are ideal for households with limited space. These elevators offer the best of both worlds in terms of practicality and convenience and are safer than other lift kinds. Pneumatic Vacuum lifts, in the opinion of the majority of Canadian designers and architects, are more suitable for domestic environments. Learn the fundamentals of this lift type before delving into the mechanics of how pneumatic vacuum elevators operate. 

In a vacuum lift, air pressure is used to raise the lift cab to the proper floor. Compared to other lifts, they are more dependable and secure. In order to provide the pneumatic system with enough air to perform the operation, an air compressor is frequently needed. Air is drawn from the surroundings by the compressor and stored in receiver tanks. They are distributed throughout the entire system by means of pipelines and valves. Air pressure is the force that an object experiences as a result of the weight of the air molecules. If there is no air pressure, the cab cannot rise or sink.

The Operation of a Pneumatic Vacuum Elevator

The vertical cylinder and coaxial car in the pneumatic lift are propelled up and down by air suction valves. Due to the difference in atmospheric pressure between the top and bottom sides of the car, the lift works by developing an ascending push. Powerful pumps are employed to reduce the air pressure above the lift vehicle when the equipment is given the order to ascend. During this period, the lift vehicle is being driven upward by the pressure beneath the car.

As long as the pressure above the car is lower than the pressure below it, it should be able to climb. The vacuum will work to balance the pressure when the vehicle reaches its destination, and the lift car will stop when the pressure is balanced. The pump lowers the pressure under the car when the vehicle receives the signal to descend, which causes the vehicle to descend. An exhaust fan located at the lift's top aids in creating the vacuum. The lift's circular tube has fans, or turbines, at its summit that push the cab higher by sucking air out of the tube.

No Need for a Hoistway, Machine Room, or Pre-Construction Pit.

This home lift is ideal for townhouses and other small locations where typical residential elevators wouldn't work as a convenient and affordable alternative to using stairs. 

The Elevator cylinder, the smallest of the three vacuum elevator variations, may fit through a 32-inch finished floor hole. 

Instead of needing a large lift shaft, this standalone home lift sits on the existing ground floor and provides a magnificent panoramic view as you go between floors in your house. 

You will experience cool, ambient temperatures as a cabin fan circulates the air inside and an LED light keeps the cabin lit during the ascent or descent.

A home lifts that is environmentally friendly

This enormous lift only needs a single-phase 3.7 kVA power source to run. This is comparable to how much electricity your washer and dryer consume. In comparison to other home lifts models, the pneumatic vacuum lift utilizes the least amount of electricity, benefiting the environment and saving money. In the same way as the other models in our collection, it descends without the use of energy. Your life will be easier by avoiding the stairs, and your power bill hardly changes as well!
