1. About ENAIR
Enair w orks w ith the illusion of collaborating in the transition to a sustainable energy model,
w hich increasingly have more in w eight renew able energy and distributed generation. For this
ambitious target, Enair has an important R & D department, composed of professionals w ith
extensive experience in the field of w ind energy. This team is dedicated to developing products
in w hich the design, reliability and efficiency are the main features.
Enair activity focuses primarily on small w ind energy pow er, w ith a range that is currently
composed of the models up to 50kW. For the development of this activity w e have various
specialized production centres in each of the subjects, spread throughout Spain, bu t mainly in
the province of Alicante w here ENAIR, has the headquarter a development centre and test field.
In Castalla Alicante, our products undergo a first phase of essay, development and verification
testing and then undergo successfully the most demanding certifications of the market.
This w hole development process of the product part is supervised by David Bornay; w ho is
dedicated since 1970 to develop different types of turbines of small and medium pow er until
today. With innovative base, the w hole team of ENAIR is continuously incorporating
improvements to our turbines. According to recent market studies, w e believe that you
purchased the best w ind turbine, w hich in his pow er range, and market available is.
The small w ind turbine is regulated by the manufacturing standards of IEC-61400. Within
these standards are subcategories of the standard such as IEC-61400-2, -12, -11, etc.
each feature sets that small w ind turbines must comply w ith robustness, pow er curve,
noise, etc. requirements. Compliance w ith these rules is essential to ensure that a " small
w ind" has the quality required therein. At present there are very few countries w hich
require manufacturing standards for w ind turbine installations. Countries that do not
require these fulfilments, are exposed to the option that any type of home w ind turbine
w ithout safety and w arranty standards can be installed. This should be avoided as it
should be ensured that only product installations w ith high performance and reliability are
installed.
Beaufort scale is a scale used globally to establish measures commonly used as a reference
for assigning names to certain currents of w ind. This scale is important to keep in mind,
especially from grade 8 upw ards, at w hich the w ind can cause damage to the w ind t urbine
by sw irling object .

2.2 Applications
The applications for our w ind turbines are multiple and include different types of
installations, for isolated pow er grid installations as w ell as for installations connected to
the netw ork and through energy-producing facilities.
Telecommunications
ENAIR is a w ind turbine w hich belongs to the field of small w ind, simple operation and
easy assembly.
Targeting is done passively by a rudder that w orks as a w eathervane, he alw ays keeps the
aero generator dow nw ind. Once the w ind impinges on the blades, the kinetic energy of
w ind is transformed into rotational kinetic energy. The variable pitch system regulates the
rotational speed for high w ind speeds. The generator converts this rotational kinetic energy
into electrical energy.
Structurally the w ind turbine has: a main body, w hich provides the connection betw een the
coupling of the tow er, the helm orientation, generator and the variable pitch system, is
isolated from the outside by the cone piece, a housing protects the internal mechanism.

New Design
ENAIR has been designed for a service life of over 25 years, even in the most adverse
conditions, such as extremely salty environments or locations w ith high average w ind
speeds.
UV resistance:
All paints used have high resistance to light and UV radiation to protect aging and fading
caused by the sun.
Corrosion resistance:
Structural design w ith fiberglass and aluminium, as w ell as the application of surface
treatments allow the w ind turbine to be installed place w ith extreme conditions: desert,
marine environments, etc.
To prevent corrosion of metal parts, specific nautical paintings are applied, based on
protective rubber.
Type of parts Corrosion Protection
Made of aluminium Anodized + anticorrosion paint
Water-tightness:
The interior spaces are completely sealed to prevent moisture penetration that may
deteriorate internal components by placing a series of gaskets complete sealings.

The ENAIR w ind turbine placement is as import ant as the available w ind.
Tower height:
In general, the produced pow er w ill be greater, as higher the tow er is because the w ind
speed increases w ith height. You must consider that a taller tow er is a major economic
investment w hich on the other hand is most often easily amortizable.
Land shape
Normally the highest point has the best w inds, although areas around river valleys, large
hills or mountains and large forests can affect the w ind resource.
Obstructions:
Every obstacle that interferes the movement of the w ind is affecting both its direction and
speed. The most common obstructions are houses and trees. It is generally recommended
to install the tow er 10 meters above any obstruction and w ith a distance tw ice the height
of the obstruction.
For example, if you have a house 5 meters tall and a tree 7 meters near w here you w ant to
install your ENAIR, it should be allocated to 17 meters above ground (7 m the highest
obstacle + 10 m) 10 meters from the house (5 x 2) and 14 meters from the tree (7 x 2).
Buildings:
On buildings, before placing a w ind turbine, ensure that the structure of the building can
w ithstand the w ind turbines w eight and stresses during its operation.
The w ind turbine should be placed about 3 meters back from the facade of the building,
and about 2-3 meters above the highest point. Consider also the surrounding buildings and
the “ w ind rose” .
The dimensions of the area of turbulence in the dow nw ind area (over 10H), are
conditioned by t he w idth of the object (A):
Prevailing winds:
It is important to know from w here the most frequent and strongest w inds come from, in
regarding of the area w here you w ant to install ENAIR 70. To the extent possible, this
direction must be free of obstructions. In order to know this, data is gathered w ith an
anemometer and a w ind vane to measure the direction and w ind speed over a period of
time. The outcome of the measurements is called " w ind rose" . An example of the
aforementioned w ind rose is show n below , the right show s the w ind situation in summer
and the left in w inter. As can be seen, they are completely different, so a detailed study of
the demand for electricity in both seasons w ill be very useful.

2. Why install a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine and 3 blades instead of other designs?
Horizontal 3-blade w ind turbines offer the highest efficiency based on their design
and the Betz Law , w hich defines the maximum theoretical conversion factor
betw een the energy carried by the w ind to pow er absorbed by the turbine blades.
This conversion factor is the pow er coefficient Cp Wind Turbine, and its maximum
value is Cp = 0.59, precisely by the Law of Betz.
Each type of w ind turbine design, w hether 2 -blade or multiblade vertical axis have
different coefficients limited by the design of the w ind turbine itself. In the
As show n in the chart, the best design according to physical law s is the 3-blade
model horizontal w ind turbine. This is the most common and w idespread design
w orldw ide.
In theory, a w ind turbine w orks better w hen less obstacles are in the path of the
w ind, but w ith a suff icient distance from the obstacles, the effect can be
minimised.
A w ind turbine should be place at a horizontal distance of at least tw ice the height
of the closest obstacles and at least 10m higher than the closest obstacles. For
further explanations, please consult the chapter “ Installation” .
The ENAIR w ind turbines are designed to be silent as its rated speed is betw een
200 and 250rpm depending on the model. Considering the height at w hich they
are, they w ill be virtually unnoticeable by someone w ho is standing at its base.
Having a 33% low er rpm than other existing w ind turbines, it makes the longevity
3 times higher than the high-revving models.
It is unlikely that a bird impact s the blades of a small w ind turbine as ENAIR,
rotating at low speed (betw een 200 and 250 rpm depending on the model) and not
located at the height to w hich migratory birds make their long journeys, w hich
makes it even more unlikely.
Yes, you can use a w ind turbine to heat w ater. Simply connect the controller
output to an electric heater. What you should consider is that normally the heating
energy consumption is considerably higher than electricity, so you w ill need to
have larger equipment .
Small w ind turbines themselves can be connected to the distribution netw ork. This
requires using a compatible inverter w ith the netw ork and that the installation is
approved by the local utility company, w hich require compliance w ith the standard s
and regulation w ith w hich a connection to the grid can be built .
Each model of our turbines has been tested for this purpose in period of one year,
w ith a very good result.
This depends greatly on the chosen location, the average w ind speed and its
constancy.
In a suitable location, a w ind turbine produces electricity about 75% of the time,
but not alw ays at rated pow er. For a year it is normal to produce betw een 20 or
30% of w hich w ould generate at nominal pow er running all the time. This value is
know n as capacity factor.
Our w ind turbines are designed to last more than 20 years. This is due to its robust
design, quality of materials, the anti-corrosion treatments and a completely sealed
design that prevents moisture and other particles from entering the system and the
inability of the birds nesting in them during w indless periods.
All this means that our design does not deteriorate even in aggressive
environments like near the sea, w here saline air and the sand particles usually
cause corrosion and erosion.
Small w ind turbines are the perfect choice for individuals, communities and small
businesses that w ant to generate their ow n energy. The chosen characteristics of
the location (average w ind speed, location and topography) determine the size and
type of w ind turbine used in each case
The w ind speed is influenced by the local topography and nearby obstacles such as
trees and buildings. Wind direction sometimes can be very variable w ith risk of
being affected by turbulence due to the nearby obstacles. So w hen in doubt , it is
best to contact professionals engaged in the installation of small w ind turbines.
Our technical department w ill inform you about the average speed at your
particular location. In order to do this, please fill in the contact form on:
www.enair.es
Roughly a w ind turbine w orks as follow s: the blades take advantage of w ind
energy to generate a torque on the generator. This, depending on the speed and
the force exerted by the blades and its axis, generate electricity, w hich w ill reach
the controller and the inverter. These electronic components convert electricity
continuously for w hatever purpose its needed like charging batteries, direct
consumption or feeding electricity to the grid.
The tow er height can vary considerably, depending on the type of turbine and the
location. Generally, the tow er of small w ind turbines ranges from 10 to 20m. The
higher the tow er, the more constant and faster are the w inds.
Furthermore, to determine the total height of the system, one must take into
account the diameter of the blades, w hich typically ranges betw een 1.5 and 10m.
The installation of small w ind turbines may require some kind of permission. This
often depends on the height of the tow er, the autonomous region or the country in
w hich you w ant to install. When in doubt it is best to consult a professional or the
competent authority in each case.
The structural parts of our w ind turbines are made of stainless steel and aluminium.
Blades and other components are made of copper, plastic, polyester resin and
fiberglass.
All parts are adequately protected against corrosion, either by hot dip galvanizing or
by various surface treatments aimed to have adequate protection even in salty
environments. Furthermore, the entire assembly is sealed to prevent ingress of
w ater, dust or any kind of substance inside. In this w ay the electrical components
are safe and w ell protected.
