蒂森克虏伯TWIN电梯首次亮相科威特

10月21日蒂森克虏伯电梯公司宣布，其已在科威特国家银行（NBK）的新总部安装了25台垂直运输设备，其中包括10套TWIN电梯系统。科威特国家银行总部建筑高300米，有63层，位于科威特市中心，其设计让人联想到珍珠和贝壳。它是该国的第二高建筑，也是该国第一座使用蒂森克虏伯电梯TWIN系统的摩天大楼。通过两个在单个竖井内独立移动的轿厢，TWIN系统能在减少能源消耗的同时，最有效地利用可用空间。科威特国家银行获得了“能源和环境设计领导力金奖”的认证，是科威特首家达到该标准的人。除TWIN系统外，蒂森克虏伯还提供了12台常规电梯，其中一些以6 m / s的速度运行，1台全景电梯和2台自动扶梯。其提供的电梯设备均配备了AGILE目的层控制系统。另外，蒂森克虏伯还与之签订了为期五年的维护合同，让建筑物所有者随时随地获得技术人员的支持。

THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR'S TWIN USED FOR FIRST TIME IN KUWAIT

thyssenkrupp Elevator has installed 25 vertical-transportation (VT) units in the new headquarters of the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), including 10 of its TWIN elevator systems, the company announced on October 21. The 300-m-tall, 63-story NBK building, with a design reminiscent of a pearl and shell, stands in the heart of Kuwait City. It is the second-tallest in the country and the country's first skyscraper to use thyssenkrupp Elevator's TWIN system, which uses two cabins that move independently within a single shaft. TWIN allowed the building's designers to make the most efficient use of available space while using less energy. NBK is certified to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold rating, among the first in Kuwait to achieve that standard. In addition to the TWIN systems, thyssenkrupp supplied 12 conventional elevators — some traveling up to 6 m/s — one panoramic elevator and two escalators. The VT system uses the company's AGILE destination-control system. thyssenkrupp Elevator has a five-year maintenance contract that gives the building owners access to a standby technician.
