Protecting the environment

Reliable by design

Neither the belt nor the gearless machine, with its permanently sealed bearings  requires any lubrication so the  Gen2TM  system is cleaner for the environment. The highly (1) _________ Gearless machine, with its permanent-magnet synchronous motor, (2) ____________ power consumption by as much as 50 percent over (3) ______________ geared machines and 15 percent over other machines with permanent-magnet motors of axial construction.

Long lasting flat belts, smooth, crowned sheaves and minimal moving parts in the gearless machine dramatically (4) __________ Wear and increase durability and efficiency. To further (5) __________ reliability and safety. Otis developed the PulseTM  system, which continually monitors the status of the belts’ steel cords. Unlike visual inspections of (6) _____________ steel ropes, the PulseTM system automatically detects and reports belt faults to maintenance personnel for rapid response, providing owners with greater peace of mind. With flat belt technology, Otis has created a (7) ______________ system that (8) ______________ the need for a machine room, is quiet, clean, reliable and economical, and easy to install and maintain.

1.14 In pairs, summarise the advantages of the flat belt system. Discuss durability, wear, noise, space, cleanliness, efficiency, automation, maintenance and cost.

1.15 Complete the following tips on emphasising technical advantages using the words in the box.

conventional  eliminated  enhanced  reduced  superioir

When describing technical advantages, it’s useful to emphasise...

a)  (1) _________________        performance, compared with the older model of the same product.

b)  negative issues that have been (2) ____________, or completely (3) ________________.

с)  special features that differntiate the technology from (4) _____________ systems.

d)  performance levels that make the technology (5) ____________ to the competition.

1.16 Ω Stefan, an engineer, is briefing some sales colleagues on the advantages of a new pump design. Listen to the briefing and match the tips (a-d) in Exercise 1.15 to the extracts (1 - A).

Extract 1_______         Extract 2________  Extract 3 ________ Extract 4 __________        

1.17 Complete the following sentences from the briefing by underlining the correct emphasising word.

We've come up with a completely/significantly unique profile. It completely/dramatically reduces vibration. Machines like these can never be entirely/highly free from vibration. The new design runs dramatically/extremely smoothly. Another advantage of the new profile is that it’s considerably/entirely lighter. So compared with our previous range, it’s highly/totally efficient. Trials so far suggest the design is completely/exceptionally durable. We expect it to be entirely/significantly more reliable than rival units.

1.18 Match the words in Exercise 1.17 to the synonyms

considerably  dramatically  entirely  exceptionally  highly  totally

__________/_________        = completely __________/_________  = significantly __________/_________         = extremely

You are Otis engineers back in the 1850s, when elevators were new. In pairs, prepare a short talk to brief your sales colleagues on the advantages of elevators for lifting people and goods. Emphasise the points below, using the phrases and techniques; from this section. Remember that people at this time are sceptical about the technology.

Elevators are:

safe - a reliable braking system eliminates the danger of a car falling if a cable fails simple - they’re controlled from the car and are very easy to operate convenient - they’re easier on the legs than the conventional alternative (stairs) valuable - they enhance the value of land by allowing taller buildings on smaller areas
