While it is sometimes appropriate to remove the computer room, sometimes it is better to have a dedicated computer room. Additionally, shaft dimensions and passenger considerations are affected when a separate machine room is not provided.
Machine room passenger elevator: The size of the machine room depends on the size of the motor/pump unit (if hydraulic)
The motor and controller are located in this room
Less noise inside the shaft because they are outside the shaft
If the unit is hydraulic, the tank and most of the fluid are in this room
The pit depth may be smaller because there are no extra parts in the pit
Easier to work with these components because they are more accessible
Any replacement parts are easier to install as access is easier
Less maintenance time - lower cost
No need to cram all equipment into the hoistway
Shafts do not require access doors
The controller and motor are in the machine room
No need for temperature control of the shaft
Only components that are sensitive to temperature changes are in the room
The lower initial cost of elevators
lower equipment cost
Less time to install elevators
Machine Roomless Passenger Elevator:
The motor (pump unit - if hydraulic) and controller are squeezed into the shaft
Since the motor is there, it is more noisy (when taking the elevator)
Passengers will smell hydraulic oil (the tank is now in the shaft)
It's more difficult to work on the motor and controller because everything is crammed into the shaft
Maintenance takes longer - moving in tight confines - more expensive
Larger shafts - take into account the additional equipment in the shafts
Access doors are required for manual lowering and access to equipment
The shaft needs to be temperature controlled
