LE-v150
The LE-v150 is a robust and compact vertical axis wind turbine designed for various battery charging applications, including marine, data communications, and rural broadband. It features a cross-ventilated 'savonious' rotor design, allowing it to withstand storm-force winds and receive wind from 360 degrees without needing to yaw.
Key Features
- Output: 24W at 8m/s (17.8mph), with a maximum of 200W.
- Design: Only one moving part, making it highly reliable with minimal maintenance.
- Temperature Resilience: Operates effectively down to -30°C.
- Compact Size: At 270mm wide, it fits into limited spaces.
- Silent Operation: Noise levels are below background noise.
- Lightweight: Weighs just 13Kg.
Technical Specifications
- Rotor Diameter: 270mm
- Height: 918mm
- Blade Material: Aluminium
- Rated Output: 24W at 8m/s
- Peak Output: 200W
- Cut-in Speed: 5m/s
- Survival Wind Speed: 27m/s
- Weight: 9Kg
- Warranty: 2 years
- DC Voltage Output: 12V, 24V, 48V
Applications
The LE-v150 is suitable for trickle charging marine batteries and powering data logging and communication equipment in remote locations. It is ideal for applications such as data logging, telemetry, security, marine, data communications, and environmental monitoring.
Installation and Maintenance
In a typical standalone system, the LE-v150 is mounted on a tower and connected to a battery bank via a maintenance switch. A charge controller diverts excess power to a dump load when batteries are full. The turbine's fully lubricated sealed bearings require no greasing or maintenance.
