Kestrel e220i Wind Turbine


Kestrel is a company which is committed to deliver renewable energy needs for the coming generation and they put their effort in reducing the use of fossil fuels. Renewable energy in the form of wind is currently more explored. Kestrel wind turbines are one of the main ingredients of this extraction. The wind power technology developed by Kestrel seems to be the real requirements of this segment.

There are a few specialties for this product. The features which make it special are the off grid supply and the power water pumps. The power of the water pumps is the best in the wind turbine segment itself. The charge batteries are also a peculiar part of the equipment maximizing its performance. The supply national grid and the boost hybrid systems for increased efficiency are some of the other features that make the product first class.

Now let us explore the working style of the product. The e220 is a special product which has a 3 blade turbine. The turbine has a very low start up torque. This can increase its efficiency too. The axial flux permanent magnet brushless alternator makes the things possible for the turbine. The alternator is driven by the optimized three blade rotor with good heat management.

In excess wind speeds also the e220 works efficiently by rated outputs. It can optimize the potential power output and energy yield. A periodic visual inspection will be needed as maintenance. There will not be much to worry about on that part for sure. The rated sound level is less than 30 dB and the blade type is of aerofoil. The lateral thrust applied in the turbine is 350N.

The best use of e220 is in farms. The rural installation for power where the grid does not service is also a very good option for it. The equipment is available at a cost of $2321 which is a very reasonable one. The total wind turbine mass is 45 Kg which makes it a very handy one even to carrying it to other places with the help of one or two people. With a rated rotational speed of 1000 rpm and a rotor swing diameter of 2.2m, the turbine seems to be exceptional in its looks as well as in output. A rated output of 800W is also impressive. Thus the Kestrel e220i Wind Turbine is a very good option for you at your farms.
