Introducing
the latest evolution in small wind turbines. The AIR-X builds
upon what made AIR the world's #1 selling small wind turbine with
new technology previously found only in today's state-of-the-art
mega-watt-class wind turbines.
All of these features are primarily found within the body of the
turbine. The new microprocessor based speed control results in
increased performance, improved battery charging capability and
the reduction of “flutter” noise from the machine. The
controller allows for peak-power tracking of the wind by optimizing
the alternator's output on all points of the cubic curve and then
efficiently delivers the energy to the battery. The turbine’s
smart controller allows it to actually control blade rotation
speed thus eliminating the buzzing noise commonly found with the
AIR 403 and 303 in high winds. Furthermore, a new series of carbon-reinforced
blades with a modified pitch angle further increases power production.
Much Lower Noise: Previous AIR wind modules relied on their
aero-elastic blade design for protection in high winds, causing
loud flutter noise in winds above 35 mph (16 m/s). AIR-X’s
circuit monitors the wind speed and electronically slows the blades
as it reaches its rated output preventing it from going into flutter.
This results in a much quieter wind turbine. In high winds, the
AIR-X will continue to produce power at a reduced level until
the wind decreases, at which point maximum output will resume.
The Benefit: Quieter and neighbor friendly operation.
Improved battery charging: Previous AIR designs required
300-400 amp hour battery banks so the trickle charge of the wind
turbine could be adequately absorbed. The AIR-X’s charge
controller periodically stops charging, reads the battery voltage,
compares it to the voltage setting and if the battery is charged,
it completely shuts off all current going to the battery. This
function is performed within a few milliseconds. The closer the
battery is to reaching its full state of charge, the more often
the AIR-X’s circuit repeats this action. This means any size
battery bank from 25 to 25,000 amp hours or higher can be charged
safely. When the battery has reached its charged state, the AIR-X
will slow to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has
dropped below its voltage set point will it startup and resume
charging. The Benefit: Extended battery life, no overcharging.
Lower stress design: AIR-X limits power on the input side
of the electronics by controlling the torque from the blades.
The power no longer has to be dissipated by the electronics resulting
in lower stress on the circuit, bearings and other materials.
Furthermore, stress on wind turbines occurs primarily in high
winds. Under these conditions, the electronic stall design reduces
the blade speed to 600 rpm, thereby significantly reducing turbine
and tower loading while still producing power. The Benefit: Greater
confidence in turbine operation in high wind conditions without
manually operating the stop switch. Note: A manual stop switch
control is an available option for the AIR-X.
Air X Wind Turbine
|
The new AIR X improves on the revolutionary features of the original wind module. New microprocessor based controller. New "wave washer" combined with looser bearing to body tolerances are incorporated into the face bearing set. This results in lower compression on the bearing/race, with quieter running and lower startup speed. It also lowers stress on the bearings and shaft when subject to twisting forces during normal operation. New series of carbon reinforced blades. More robust tower clamp and yaw assembly for stronger and more secure tower mounting. Unprecedented 3 YEAR WARRANTY
