AIR X Wind Turbine
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
turbines 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.
The
new electronics are a considerable improvement
over the AIR 403 controller that consists of
diode-rectification and a simple off/off voltage
switch.
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-Xs 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-Xs 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-Xs 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.
Design changes
are primarily found within the body of the
turbine:
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.
