Glazing

Coloured polycarbonate window

Accordion

In addition to the standard glazing in grey 133, polycarbonate window panes are also available in five additional colour variants (transparent, bronze 130, blue 113, grey 215, orange 710,).

The material is just as UV-resistant as the standard glazing.

FineView

Accordion

The window panes are finished on both sides and made more  scratch-resistant by means of a special process. The window panes become less vulnerable and can be more easily cleaned without leaving a trace.

ReFlect

Accordion

It has been proven that the penetration of IR radiation into the cabin can be reduced by sputtering the polycarbonate panels. The interior temperature thereby remains cooler and the journey becomes more comfortable. In addition, the sputtering gives the panels an elegant mirror effect and makes them even more resistant to scratches.

Scratch-Protection foil, interior

Accordion

Sticking a protective foil to one side of the panes (either inside and/or outside) increases the protection against scratches, dirt and condensation, and provides a cleaner, clearer view over a longer period. A replacement of the protective foil can be easily carried out without affecting the ropeway operation.

The use of a roof-mounted hatch is recommended for even better cabin ventilation. This consists of an anodised aluminium frame with 10 mm thick acrylic glazing.

Cross-current fan with automatic control

Accordion

With an airflow of 155 m3/h, the cross-current fan guarantees constant ventilation. The function is independent of the airflow resulting from the movement of the cabin, and can be used at a temperature from 20 to +60°C.

Cross-flow fan with potentiometer

Accordion

Air conditioning system

Accordion

A commercially available 24V standard unit is used for air conditioning with an air-conditioning unit. Simple maintenance and a rapid availability of any required spare parts is thereby guaranteed. This option has a significant impact on the cabin weight, and requires a corresponding power supply.

Gill ventilation

Accordion

The constant passive ventilation through the use of the air stream aerates the cabin and makes every journey a pleasant experience. Since the air flow is at knee height, no unpleasant feeling of pulling is caused.

Electrical ventilation

Accordion

The constant electrical ventilation is completely weatherproof and works independently of the slip stream. This option is used for very hot and tropical regions.

Roof ventilation with radial fan

Energy

Power supply through SuperCaps

Depending on the consumption and the route used, or if several cabins have to be supplied with electricity, we would recommend a power supply using SuperCaps.

The SuperCaps developed and patented by CWA deliver a constant power supply. They are recharged via a charging rail in the station every time the cabin runs through (charging cycle 10 - 20 s). There is a 12/24 VDC circuit (via Powerbox). The SuperCaps have a capacity of 165 F (54 Wh) and ensure a 24 h operation. In the case of a power failure, the elements that are relevant for an emergency situation (camera, emergency light, intercom) remain in operation via UPS (battery).

Power supply through batteries

The installation of batteries can be useful, depending on the consumption and the route used, or if individual cabins have to be supplied with electricity.

Batteries with a capacity of 80 – 18,000 Wh and a power range from 20 – 15,000 Watt are used. The batteries must be recharged every day in the station outside the operating times using an external charger. Depending on the type of battery used, a charging cycle can last 3 - 12 hours.
