SOLAZONE HOMEPAGE


Aerogen Wind Generators




These excellent and reliable wind turbines are made in the UK by LVM.

They feature the latest technology, and the expertise and experience gained since 1982.

The models below are "third generation", and are being used all over the world for yachts, research institutes, military forces, and for small power applications in remote areas.



Powerful Performance - Designed for all wind speeds

The optimum wind speed is between 5 and 20 knots. Aerogens are designed to operate efficiently in this range, starting to charge at 5 knots. Equally they take advantage of higher wind speeds to produce higher outputs continuously and safely.

Compact, light, robust and maintenance free

Aerogens are lighter and smaller than some units with similar or even lower performances. They are sturdy and robust, and incorporate heavy duty bearings, slip rings and brushes. Corrosion resistant marinised materials are used throughout.

Quiet, safe, low speed efficient propellors

LVM computer designed aerofoil section blades are used to maximise the generators output at comparatively low wind speeds therefore ensuring enhanced safety, comfort and bearing wear.

High efficiency brushless alternators

High efficiency hand wound 3 phase brushless alternators and neodymium iron boron permanent magnet rotor, sleeved and epoxy coated, mean Aerogen provide years of maintenance and trouble free use.

Easy Installation - Mounting Kits available

and all Aerogens are available in 12 or 24 volt versions


Models available


Aerogen 2
The ideal small wind generator for weekend yachtsmen, small yachts and low power land applications.
Weighing only 5 kilos the design can ensure that batteries are maintained and fully charged for each visit and make a contribution whilst sailing/caravaning.
Produces 0.5 amps at 12 knots and 1 amp at 19 knots. It can produce up to 4 amps intermittently, and is thermally protected.
Mounting for 1" tube only.



Fan diameter 580 mm
Turning diameter 700 mm
Weight: 15.6 kg


Aerogen 4
Produces more power for the cruising yachtsman and static and mobile caravans.
It can provide sufficient power for cruising yachts with significant electrical equipment - even refrigeration.
Produces 2 amps at 13 knots, 6 amps at 20 knots, and up to 19 amps in 60 knot winds.
Safe in storms as it is self limiting. Mounting for 1" or !.5" tube.



Fan diameter 870 mm
Turning diameter 960 mm
Weight: 10.14 / 10.8 kg


Aerogen 6
The powerful Aerogen is the ideal unit for live aboard yachtsmen, and for applications with high power usage.
Starts charging 0.25 amps at 6.5 knots, produces 4 amps at 12 knots and 10 amps at 20 knots.
It is optimised to maintain continuous high outputs at higher wind speeds.
It operates safely and continuously in 45 knot winds, producing 30 amps (12 V) or 15 amps (24 V), but above that it requires some manual control, and therefore is not suitable for unattended applications.



Fan diameter 1220 mm
Turning diameter 1300 mm
Weight: 15.14 kg


Furled inland generators
Are designed for unattended inland applications. They prduce less power than the marine versions, and are automatically furled by the special pivoting tail assembly. They have a flange mount, which is welded to a 2" pipe, and the generator is bolted to the flange. These are NOT suitable for use on yachts.



Voltage regulators
Voltage regulators and diode units are available for single, twin and triple battery sets.
When the batteries reach full charge the power produced is diverted to a wire wound resistor and dissipated as heat, thus ensuring the wind generator is loaded at all times.
