RACING HYDROGENERATORS PAC K C H ARAC TERISTICS Charging voltage Maximum using speed Available in two versions : Aluminium Racing (PK-610-600-PV) and Carbon Racing (PK-610-600-PV/CAR) hydraulic unit controls the pitch of the blades MPPT converter changed energy management on board and have become essential pieces of equipment in offshore races. They are equipped with a controlled pitch propeller, functioning electronically with an independent system. The drag is minimal and the energy output is optimal on a speed range from 5 to 30 knots. Overall length with bracket RACING hydrogenerators have radically Compatible batteries Pack contents 1 hydrogenerator 1 converter 1 hydraulic unit Mounting accessories Hydrogenerator weight Converter weight Hydraulic pump weight carbon aluminium 2 years Output power curves controlled pitch propeller electric wire + hydraulic tube Speed (knots) patent FR0855813 ECC patented design 001783523 Theoretical drag of the blades calculated in CFD. For equal power, the drag is less at high speed than low speed.

©Jean-Marie LIOT / ALEA / MACIF This new-design wind-generator is under testing since one year in collaboration with MACIF Design Team with the goal to achieve full autonomy on their giant trimaran. We applied our knowledge from well-proven hydrogenerator technology to transpose its efficiency to wind generation. The result is a powerful and lightweight windgenerator. The prototype installed on MACIF trimaran showed great durability during François Gabart’s solo-round-theworld record. Compared to conventionnal wind-generators this new design offers unique advantages for «racing» use : High...
