Mechanical transportation 391 18. Quality of a lift service is determined from: 1. Number of passengers carried in each car. 2. Highest car speed attainable. 3. Round trip time for one lift divided by the number of lifts available. 4. Passenger comfort. 5. Quietness of the lift system. 19. Which are correct about lift motor rooms? More than one correct answer. 1. There aren’t any, all components are within the lift shafts. 2. The motor sits on top of each car and has a pulley at the top of the shaft. 3. Electrical lift motor room is situated at the top of each lift shaft. 4. Hydraulic lift motor room is at the base of the lift shaft. 5. Lift motor rooms are always halfway up the lift shaft. 20. Lift and escalator installations: 1. Lift systems can be added to the building design after important design decisions have been agreed. 2. Escalators are just motorized stairways and do not need much design work. 3. Lift systems are an after-thought in the overall concept of the building. 4. Transportation systems do not cost much. 5. Mechanical movement systems for the building’s occupants are critical to the success of the project. 21. Transportation systems: 1. Allow people to become unfit; we should walk. 2. Are not essential for several categories of buildings and building user. 3. Allow rapid movement around large sites. 4. Do not need much energy to operate. 5. Need no maintenance. 22. Where could a double-deck lift system apply? 1. Combined goods and passenger lift cars. 2. Commercial buildings of around 20 stories. 3. High-speed long-travel lifts. 4. Low-speed short-travel lifts. 5. Hospitals.
18 Question bank Learning objectives Study of this chapter will enable the reader to: 1. practice answering short questions from a multiple choice of answers; 2. prepare for tests, assignments and written examinations where this form of questioning is provided; 3. evaluate why some answers are not entirely correct for the question; 4. have discussions with peers and instructors over the meaning of the incorrect answers; 5. lead into further study and investigation; 6. answer a range of questions from the fifth edition. Key terms and concepts acronyms 393; data transmission 394; greenhouse 393; heat transfer 394; humidity 394; hydrocarbons 394; insulation 395; inverter 392; low-energy building 393; obesity 393; odours 395; refrigeration 396; sustainability 393; temperature 394; thermal comfort 395. Introduction This is a general knowledge section of questions covering topics within the fifth edition. Some questions may require the reader to look up answers in additional resources or use the internet with a search engine. There is only one correct answer to each question unless specified as having more. Incorrect answers may be partially true but not considered by the author to be the entirely correct response for the purpose of this book; these may stimulate additional study, discussion, questioning with peers or the instructor. Question bank 1. What does inverter mean? 1. Alternating current phases are reversed. 2. It is an electronic soft starter for a three-phase motor.
