Negative car

Positive spray gun

� Static electricity can be used in spraying liquids e.g. spraying pesticides, spray painting

� The car gains electrons

� The gun looses electrons so the paint looses electrons

� The paint spreads out as each positive drop repels

� No paint is wasted as the negative car attracts the positive paint

Electrostatic Spray Painting

� During car production, the unpainted car body and the paint are given opposite electric charges.

� Unlike charges attract, so:

� The paint sticks to every corner of the car body

� The paint covers the car body evenly.

Principle: Electrodes at high voltage create a corona effect (ionized atmosphere) surrounding them. This charges the passing particles. Once charged, particles are subject to a transverse electrostatic force that pulls them toward the collecting plates.Plates are periodically rapped (vibrated) to make the collectedparticles fall down into a receiver basket.

Static Electricity in a Photocopier

� (1) & (3) drum inside is charged. Light reflects an image of document on drum. Dark areas (writing and images on the original) retains a positive charge.

� (4 & 5) Charged parts of the drum attracts the negatively-charged toner ink (black powdered particles).

� (6) Toner ink transferred from drum to positively-charged paper, producing a copy of original.

Operation Principle� The rotating flux induces a voltage in the short-

circuited bars of the rotor. This voltage drives current through the bars.

� The induced voltage is proportional with the difference of motor and synchronous speed. Consequently the motor speed is less than the synchronous speed.

� The interaction of the rotating flux and the rotor current generates a force that drives the motor.

� The force is proportional with the flux density and the rotor bar current

Squirrel cage rotor. � This rotor has a laminated iron core with slots, and

is mounted on a shaft. � Aluminum bars are molded in the slots and the

bars are short circuited with two end rings. � The bars are slanted on a small rotor to reduce

audible noise. � Fins are placed on the ring that shorts the bars.

These fins work as a fan and improve cooling.

� Difference between angular velocity of rotor and angular velocity of the rotating field causes squirrel cage bars to cut the field magnetic field inducing current into squirrel cage bars.

� Hoistway is the space enclosed by fireproof walls and elevator doors for the travel of one or more elevators, dumbwaiters or material lifts. It includes the pit and terminates at the underside of the overhead machinery space floor or grating or at the underside of the roof where the hoistway does not penetrate the roof. (Hoistway is sometimes called "hatchway" or "hatch".)

Brake

� Traction machines are provided with a mechanical brake, designed to stop and safely hold an elevator.

� A centrifugal force governor is provided on most elevators to guard against over speeding (when a car travels in excess of 20% of top speed, the governor will activate a safety stop device).

� Safeties are installed at the bottom of an elevator car and occasionally on counterweights to provide positive emergency stopping when activated by the governor.

Geared Traction Elevator

� Geared traction machines are driven by AC or DC electric motors, they use gears to control mechanical movement of elevator cars by “rolling” steel hoist ropes over a drive sheave which is attached to a gearbox driven by a high speed motor.

� These machines are generally the best option for basement or overhead traction use for speeds up to 2.5 m/s.

� In order to allow accurate speed control of the motor, to allow accurate leveling and for passenger comfort, a DC hoist motor was the preferred solution in high-traffic elevator installations for many decades.

67

Gearless Traction Drive

� Gearless traction machines are low speed (low RPM), high torque electric motors powered either by AC or DC. In this case, the drive sheave is directly attached to the end of the motor.

� Gearless traction elevators can reach speeds of up to 10 m/s, or even higher.

� A brake is mounted between the motor and drive sheave (or gearbox) to hold the elevator stationary at a floor. This brake is usually an external drum type and is actuated by spring force and held open electrical.

� a power failure will cause the brake to engage and prevent the elevator from falling.

Hydraulic Elevators

� Conventional hydraulic elevators: They use an underground cylinder, are quite common for low level buildings with 2-5 floors (sometimes but seldom up to 6-8 floors), and have speeds of up to 200 feet/minute (1 meter/second).

� Holeless hydraulic elevators were developed in the 1970s, and use a pair of above ground cylinders, which makes it practical for environmentally or cost sensitive buildings with 2, 3, or 4 floors.

� Roped hydraulic elevators use both above ground cylinders and a rope system, which combines the reliability of inground hydraulic with the versatility of holeless hydraulic, even though they can serve up to 8-10 floors.

� The low mechanical complexity of hydraulic elevators in comparison to traction elevators makes them ideal for low rise, low traffic installations. The main disadvantage is their lower efficiency – with no counterbalancing, they require more power to operate.

� The design of a hydraulic elevator is shown in the next slide.
