Elevator COP (Coefficient of Performance) and LOP (Lift Operating Performance)

The Coefficient of Performance (COP) in elevators measures energy efficiency, comparing useful output (elevator movement) to energy input. Higher COP values indicate better efficiency, crucial for sustainable buildings. Modern elevators optimize COP via regenerative drives, LED lighting, and standby modes, reducing power consumption by up to 50%.

Lift Operating Performance (LOP) evaluates reliability, speed, and user experience. Key metrics include wait times, travel efficiency, and fault rates. Smart elevators leverage AI and IoT for predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime. For instance, AI algorithms adjust traffic flow in real-time, while IoT sensors preempt mechanical failures.

Together, COP and LOP define an elevator’s eco-friendliness and service quality. Regulations like ISO 25745 enforce COP standards, whereas LOP aligns with user-centric benchmarks (e.g., EN 81-20). Future trends include machine learning for dynamic COP-LOP balancing, ensuring peak performance with minimal energy waste.

FAQ
1. Are the elevator wire ropes durable?
The elevator wire rope has special provisions and requirements. Configuration is not only for wire rope and rated load, but also considered the size of the traction, as a result, the tensile strength of wire rope is greater than the weight of the lift. The safety factor is equipped with more than four wire rope. So it won’t break at the same time.
2. Is it dangerous for power failure suddenly during the elevator running?
If it occurs, the elevator will automatically stop due to the electrical and mechanical safety device. In case of power failure,elevator brakes will automatically taken. In addition, the power supply departments such as planned outage, prior notice are also operating.
3. Will us be hurt when it closed suddenly?
In the closing process, if people touch the hall door, the door of elevator will automatically restart without any danger. With anti clamping switch, once the gate touched, this switching action make the elevator unable to be closed and even reopened. In addition, closing force is also available here.
4. How the elevator running?
Elevators are operated with a counterweight wire rope through the (tractor) traction drive, making ups and downs on the guide rail.
5. Is the escalator installation complicated?
We believe the functions of an escalator are not necessarily proportional to the operation complexity. Therefore, escalators designed by us apply an integrated structure, so that the equipment is more precise and more efficient and allows easier and more convenient commissioning.
6. Do you have any cerifications?
Yes, we do with ISO9001 / CCC / CE Certificates for u.
