Air-X Marine Wind Turbines
The AIR Marine is by far the world’s number
one selling small wind turbine for Sailboats. In late 2001
we introduced an entirely new level of technology which previously
was only found in today's state-of-the-art mega-watt-class
wind turbines.
The AIR Marine incorporates a new microprocessor
based technology that results in increased performance, improved
battery charging capability, greater reliability 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 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 most small wind turbines.
Much Less Sound: Previous AIR wind modules
relied on their aero-elastic blade design for protection in
high winds. This caused a 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 potential output will resume.
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.
