Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the AIR wind turbines, designed for off-grid power systems. These turbines are manufactured by Primus Wind Power in Colorado, USA, and are known for their reliability and ease of integration with solar systems.
Key Features:- New carbon fiber multicolor blade-hub design for enhanced performance.
- Capable of nighttime power production.
- Over 180,000 units installed since 1995.
Technical Specifications:- Energy Output: AIR 40 produces approximately 40 kWh/month at 5.5 m/s (12 mph), while AIR 30/AIR MaX produces about 30 kWh/month at the same wind speed.
- Operating Environment: AIR 40 is suitable for low to moderate wind regimes with quiet operation, whereas AIR 30 is designed for industrial applications in moderate to high wind regimes.
- Physical Dimensions: The rotor diameter is 1.17 m (46 in) with a swept area of 1.07 m² (11.5 ft²). The turbine weighs 5.9 kg (13 lb).
- Startup Wind Speed: AIR 40 starts at 3.13 m/s (7 mph), and AIR 30/AIR MaX at 3.59 m/s (8 mph).
- Voltage Options: Available in 12, 24, and 48 VDC.
- Construction: Features a grey cast aluminum housing with injection-molded blades and a permanent magnet brushless alternator.
- Protection and Durability: Includes electronic torque control for overspeed protection and can withstand survival wind speeds up to 40.2 m/s (90 mph).
- Warranty: Comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
Performance Curves:- The power and energy curves indicate that AIR 30/AIR MaX is recommended for high wind regimes, while AIR 40 is suitable for moderate conditions.
- Factors such as site turbulence, elevation, and air temperature can affect turbine output.
Applications:- AIR 30 is ideal for industrial applications such as oil & gas and telecom with high wind and sound levels.
- AIR MaX is suitable for residential and educational settings with high wind and very low sound emissions due to carbon fiber blades.
- AIR 40 is recommended for residential and educational use in moderate wind conditions with low sound levels.
Additional Notes:- All AIR models are compatible with 12/24/48V systems and are specifically designed for the battery bank voltage, not field adjustable.
- 2021 models are compatible with Lithium-Ion batteries.
