摘要:
A compressor coating is described which can reduce corrosion in the turbine system of a gas turbine engine. The coating is essentially not wet by droplets or aerosols of sea water or other corrodants. The coating reduces the build up of salt deposits on compressor components and their subsequent passage into the turbine section, thereby preventing severe localized corrosion which would otherwise occur.

A belt for suspending and/or driving an elevator car includes a plurality of wires arranged into one or more cords and a jacket substantially retaining the one or more cords. Each cord includes a plurality of wires arranged around at least one non load-bearing core. An elevator system includes an elevator car and one or more sheaves. One or more belts are operably connected to the car and interactive with the one or more sheaves for suspending and/or driving the elevator car. Each belt of the one or more belts includes a plurality of wires arranged into one or more cords and a jacket substantially retaining the one or more cords. Each cord includes a plurality of wires arranged around at least one non load-bearing core.
摘要:
An elevator load bearing member assembly includes at least one roughened surface (46) on a polyurethane jacket (44). In one example, mechanical roughening is used to roughen the surface (46) after the jacket has been extruded onto tension members (42). In another example, the temperatures used for molding a jacket (44) are controlled to induce melt fracture and roughen the surface (46) during the forming process. Other examples include chemically roughening the jacket surface and using localized heating to roughen the surface. The roughened jacket surface improves friction characteristics of a load bearing member assembly.
摘要:
An exemplary elongated elevator load bearing member of a traction elevator system includes a plurality of tension elements. A plurality of weave fibers transverse to the tension elements are woven with the tension elements. The weave fibers define at least one traction surface of the load bearing member.

An exemplary method of making a woven fabric includes weaving a plurality of load supporting tension members and a plurality of cross fibers together into a woven fabric. A spacing between adjacent ones of the tension members has a first dimension. At least some of the cross fibers are shrunk to thereby decrease the spacing between the adjacent ones of the tension members to a second, smaller dimension. In another example, two woven fabrics are positioned next to each other. The two fabrics include a spacing between adjacent tension members having a first dimension. At least one tension member of one woven fabric is aligned with and between two of the tension members of the other fabric to thereby decrease the spacing to a second, smaller dimension.
摘要:
A system (10) manages power from a secondary power (30) source to supply power to elevator and building systems (18) after failure of a primary power source (20). An available power monitor provides a measure or estimate (such as state-of-charge) of the power available from the secondary power source. A demand monitoring system (46) generates a signal related to passenger demand for each elevator in the elevator system. A controller (34) then prioritizes allocation of power from the secondary power source to the elevator and building systems based on the available power from the secondary power source and the passenger demand in the elevator system.
摘要:
An exemplary assembly includes at least one elongated tension member (32). A jacket covers at least some of the tension member (32). The jacket comprises a polymer material (64, 68) including a friction stabilizer (62) that facilitates maintaining a desired friction characteristic of at least an exterior surface on the jacket.

A passenger conveyor handrail (30) includes a sliding fabric layer (36) having a low-friction coating (40) on at least one side (38) of the sliding fabric layer (36). A disclosed example includes the low-friction coating (40) on selected portions of the one side (38) of the sliding fabric layer (36). Another disclosed example includes a coating on both sides (38, 39) of the sliding fabric layer (36). Various manufacturing techniques are described.
摘要:
A passenger conveyor handrail (30) includes a plurality of teeth (36) that interact with a toothed driving member (42). In a disclosed example, a low friction material (60) is placed near an end of the teeth (36) on the handrail (30). The low friction material (60) facilitates the teeth sliding along a guidance (70) but does not interfere with a desired engagement between the teeth (36) and corresponding teeth (46) on the driving member (42).
摘要:
A passenger conveyor drive belt assembly includes a belt support that facilitates proper engagement between the drive belt and corresponding links of a step chain. The belt support preferably is positioned between a drive sheave and an idle sheave within the loop traveled by the drive belt. The belt support includes at least one moveable support member that moves responsive to movement of the drive belt while urging the drive belt into proper engagement with the step chain links.
