What can a Pentadyne system do for me?

Pentadyne clean energy storage has a lot of great attributes and advantages.

We’ve found that other broadcasters using our system particularly value these qualities:

1. No HVAC needs - Pentadyne systems need no HVAC, perfect for transmission sites. UPS batteries need air conditioned space – and plenty of it – to offset their heat production. Operating batteries just 10°F above optimum cuts their life in half.
2. Crowbar protection - Crowbar circuits protect broadcast equipment inductive output tubes from power anomalies by instantly throwing tens of thousands of volts to ground. It has to. One IOT can cost as much as a Pentadyne flywheel. The massive crowbar inrush can kill lead-acid batteries in a flash, but the Pentadyne flywheel has no trouble responding to such needs fully and repeatedly for decades.
3. Near-zero maintenance - Driving up a mountain every few weeks to do battery maintenance, testing and replacement is no one’s idea of a good use of time and money. The Pentadyne flywheel needs one hour of downtime maintenance only once every 6 years.

Other valuable attributes include:

• Energy storage that's more effective and reliable
• Elimination of lead acid UPS batteries
  Vastly lower own & operate costs
• Half the footprint of VRLA batteries 80% smaller footprint than wet cells
  Virtually silent operation
• 1/10th the energy consumption of other flywheels
• No concrete pad needed or floor loading issues
• Rolls into place and commissions in less than 60 minutes
• No explosive gas emissions or hazardous materials
• No acid vapors, spillage or other safety issues
• Solid, non-"pro-rated" 5-year warranty, standard
• Environmentally responsible, sustainable
• Built in California: seismic zone 4 rated
