Hi
I have had an Aerogen 4 for about 14 years which is in need of repair due to the blades disintergrating by reason of corrosion of the aluminium hub. Purchased a new Air-X to replace it but have since decided to repair the Aerogen and remount that as well. Problem. The Air-X instructions say that for multiple banks, the internal regulator of the Air-X will have to be switched to an external one as another wind generator will give it the mistaken impression that the batteries are charged. I have an existing regulator for the Aerogen and a rheostat heat sink that burns off the extra power. Question: Any ideas on what/how I could use as an external regulator or heat dumping device. I have heard that some people heat water with the surplus energy. Incidentally, I have been very happy with the Aerogen. It is extermely quiet and vibration free. As we are normally in windy areas it has been well worth having. Any advice appreciated as always. regards Peter |
