AIR Industrial Wind Turbine Generators for Remote Wind Energy

AIR Industrial Wind Turbine Generator The AIR Industrial wind turbine generator was introduced in the 3rd quarter of 1998, as a wind turbine capable of resisting the harsh environments that generally accompany mountaintop repeater sites and off shore platforms. Southwest Windpower's engineers spent two years in research with companies such as Chevron, Texaco and Cellular One to design a product capable of reliability producing power for remote sites.

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 wind turbine generator 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.

Features Of The AIR Industrial Wind Turbine Generator:

• 3 Year Warranty
• Simple installation; no tower is necessary. Can be attached to existing towers
• Variable pitch Aerolastic carbon matrix blades
• Aircraft quality aluminum alloy castings
• Brush-less neodymium cubic curve alternator
• Sophisticated internal battery charge regulator
• Safety protection electronics controls voltage and rotor RPM
• Maintenance-free - Only two moving parts
• Finned aluminum heat sink for maxim cooling effect in high wind average areas
• Upgraded electronics and wiring for improved reliability over standard models
• Exclusive Auto-brake-feature that slows the AIR to a silent spin when the batteries are charged thus preserving bearing life.

AIR Industrial Wind Turbine Generator includes Telecommunication sites Environmental monitoring sites Offshore platforms Remote weather stations Emergency warning devices More consistent power supply Reduced transportation costs Minimal space requirements CE approved, emits no electrical interference Reduced wind loading Reduced operating costs

Minimize down times and reduce operating costs with an AIR Industrial wind turbine generator. Based on the world's best selling wind turbine, the AIR Industrial wind turbine generator has been designed to survive the harshest mountain-top and offshore sites.

     When the AIR Industrial wind turbine generator is combined with a solar array, you will experience a more consistent power supply by evening out seasonal changes and weather fluctuations.

     No need for a separate tower! The AIR Industrial wind turbine generator's low wind loading and light weight design allow it to be mounted on existing structures within a few hours.

Simple Installation Of The Air Industrial Wind Turbine Generator

     Utilize the AIR Industrial wind turbine generator with solar and have power in virtually any weather condition, all year round, at just about any remote site. Photo to the right shows three AIR Industrial wind turbine generator modules combined with PV provide power for a cell phone transmitter in the mountains near Phoenix, Arizona.

Without question, the AIR Industrial wind turbine generator has become the number one selling battery charging wind turbine in the world. The AIR Industrial wind turbine generator 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.

Blades: The AIR Industrial wind turbine generator 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 Industrial wind turbine generator'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 AIR Industrial wind turbine generator's electronics perform 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 AIR Industrial wind turbine 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.

Each Unit comes with a 3 year warranty. A 5 year extended warranty is available from South West Wind Power for $60. Contact information is included in the packaging. This warranty is required in California and New Jersey.
