Regenerative inverter (LOWATT)
The LOWATT regenerative inverter reuses the energy generated by the elevator’s operation. According to Hyundai Elevator, it recycles power that used to leak away and saves up to 64% of energy.
- Energy savings, compared with the conventional method
up to64%
- Saved on the bill of 18 apartment elevators (8 h a day)
about13M KRW / year
according to Hyundai Elevator
01The principle
The energy goes back to the building.
Going up, lighter than the counterweight
The motor produces power: the inverter sends it back to the building.
- 01The car goes up lighter, or down heavier, than the counterweight
- 02The motor then produces power, which the inverter regenerates
- 03It is used elsewhere in the building: lighting, air-conditioning, exhaust fans, pumps, other elevators
according to Hyundai Elevator
02Five benefits
Use less, heat less.
Energy savings
- Up to 64% energy savings compared with the conventional method of energy consumption
up to64%
Electricity bill
- About KRW 13 million saved per year on the electricity bill of 18 apartment elevators
- In the case of 8-hour operation a day
about13M KRW / year
Longer-lasting parts
- Recycled energy reduces heat in the machine room: less thermal damage, longer-lasting parts and fewer failures
Less air-conditioning
- Less heat in the machine room, so less air-conditioning and lower maintenance costs
Certified
- The first elevator in Korea rated Class A for energy efficiency, by TÜV SÜD, under the standard of the Association of German Engineers (VDI)
- Electromagnetic compatibility certified by the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KTR)
Figures published by Hyundai Elevator. Actual savings depend on the elevator’s traffic and use; they are assessed during the study.
