本文是一个正在进行的项目的初步报告，该项目旨在调查电梯作为残疾人逃生方式的使用情况。使用楼梯井进行火灾疏散对因身体残疾而无法使用楼梯的人构成了一个问题。本文讨论了使用电梯作为消防通道的一些主要问题，并提出了解决这些问题的概念性解决方案。本文报告了四座装有电梯保护系统的建筑物的现场试验情况。对这些保护系统及其与其他系统的相互作用进行了研究。引文:ASHRAE Transactions，1983年，第89卷，pt。新泽西州大西洋城1B号

This paper is the initial report of an ongoing project to investigate the use of elevators as a means of fire escape for the handicapped. The use of stairwells for fire evacuation poses a problem for people who cannot use stairs because of physical disabilities. This paper discusses some of the major problems associated with the use of elevators as a means of fire exit and proposes a conceptual solution to those problems. A report is made on field tests of four buildings with elevator protection systems. These protection systems and their interactions with other systems are examined.
