9. Installation
9.1 Interface requirements
The following information is necessary for the correct
integration of Pegasus service lift inside a wind turbine
tower.
9.1.1 Height and angle
The Pegasus service lift can be installed on towers up
to 150 m high, and with a maximum inclination angle
to the tower axis of ±2º and of ±0,5º for every 3 m of
ladder.
9.1.2 Lifetime and frequency of operation
The Pegasus service lift is designed for a lifetime of 20
years with a time of operation of approximately 12.5 h/
year of 250 h during lift. In case time of operation is
more, service and inspections are required and
replacement of components might be necessary
according to the replacement criteria stated on the
maintenance manual.
9.1.3 Lift holes at platforms and air gap to tower parts
The Pegasus service lift must have an air gap of at
least 20 mm around it along the tower to avoid
collision with tower components.
The wind tower manufacturer must verify this as part
of the integration process not only in the static position
but also considering possible movement of compo-
nents inside the tower as a consequence of the tower
sway. The components subjected to possible move-
ment inside the tower may include, but are not limited
to, dampers, wire ropes, cables, doors, hatches, etc..
The Pegasus service lift needs a gap of 500mm below
the lowest landing area to accommodate the bottom
buffers and power cable.
