EFFICIENCY = ENERGY
The most powerful wind generator in its class.
The all-new Air Breeze. Quieter, more efficient, and precision engineered
to deliver more energy at lower wind speeds than any other wind generator in
its class. Air Breeze is the next generation of Air turbines—with more than
100,000 units sold in 120 countries, the world's most popular small wind
turbine.
The AIR Breeze uses a new microprocessor based technology that results in
an increase in performance, battery charging capability, and reliability.
Additionally, “flutter” noise from the machine has been reduced.
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 Lower Noise: 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 Breeze’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 Breeze’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 Breeze will slow
to an almost complete stop. Only when the battery has dropped below its
voltage set point will it startup and resume charging.
