Performance Curves  |
Rayleigh Distribution Curve k=2 |
Combining wind and photovoltaics in hybrid systems are quickly becoming the standard in renewable energy installations. This is due to seasonal fluctuations of both wind and solar energy resources that make it an ideal combination.
Maintenance-free performance, easy installation, and high output make AIR Industrial ideal for virtually any remote battery charging application. Installations range from Alaska to Antarctica.
Use with the Battery Optimizer and a heating element to increase battery performance during those cold winter months.
Without question, AIR has become the number one selling battery charging wind turbine in the world. AIR brings together advanced brush-less alternator technology, state-of the-art carbon composite blades, and exclusive built-in voltage regulation all in an elegant cast aluminum body. Now, AIR Industrial brings a whole new level of sophistication and reliability to wind turbines. Check out these points:
BLADES: The AIR's blades are made of carbon fiber reinforced composite that twists as the turbine reaches its rated output. This twisting effect changes the shape of the blade, causing it to go into stall mode. This limits the RPM of the alternator, preventing damage in high winds. The Carbon-fiber blades are resistant to UV, cold, heat and abrasion. If blades are damaged, replacements can be installed within minutes using two hex wrenches.
ALTERNATOR: The AIR's alternator is optimized to match as close as possible the energy available in the wind. It is constructed with Neodymium Iron Boron permanent magnets and is brush-less for superior performance and maintenance-free operation. The alternator has been strengthened with larger wire to handle anticipated greater amperage production.
REGULATION & CONTROL ELECTRONICS: The electronics performs several functions to assure maximum output and safety for the user. The control electronics maintains a load on the alternator at all times to make sure that the turbine never over speeds, regardless of the condition of the battery. As the battery is charged, the sophisticated regulator periodically checks the line, correcting for voltage loss and monitoring charge rate. Once the battery has reached its optimum charge level, the regulator shuts the current off, preventing the battery from being overcharged and slows the blades to preserve bearing life.
OPTIONAL EXTERNAL REGULATION: With no modifications to the wind generator, an external diversion load controller can be added to the system allowing you to make the most of the AIR Industrial's energy production. With a diversion load controller, the excess energy can be diverted to heat a room thus increasing battery efficiency and life. |
