Turtle Engineering Ltd have spent 2 years working with leading universities across the UK to develop a truly self-powered defibrillator cabinet. Although we initially desired an exclusively solar-powered cabinet it quickly became apparent that in the winter the UK does not receive enough sunlight to power a heating system. Therefore, the addition of a wind turbine ensures that the cabinet will work all year round.
Turbines for every scenario
We’re sure that you’ll love our original turbine design, with its high quality construction, clear purpose, and visibility. However, some turbines in very exposed locations have been damaged by exceptional circumstances like storms. In order to mitigate this risk we worked to implement a new turbine solution. The new, cylindrical turbine option is based on the turbines used to power off-shore buoys. It is therefore much more storm-resistant! Rugged and long-lasting, the new cylindrical turbine is also a good fit for isolated areas, where damage to the turbine is a bigger concern. We also recommend remote monitoring in such areas.
Optional Remote Monitoring
The combination of solar and wind will provide the required charging for the battery. However, issues can still occur. To counter this we have developed a fully remote monitoring system. This system uses the mobile phone network to report back to us with the cabinet status on a daily basis. This means we can notify you when the cabinet has been accessed, provide updates on the environmental conditions and charge status of the cabinet, and promptly notify you of any faults as they occur.
Additionally an optional extra Wi-Fi hotspot facility can be included within the cabinet to allow certain defibrillators (such as the LifePak CR2) to connect to central servers for reporting health status, receiving updates and reporting when pads or batteries are approaching the end of their life. Please contact us for details.
Installation
Before installation, you need to cast a concrete base for the complete solar and wind powered defibrillator cabinet and set a sub-frame in the concrete for the cabinet to bolt down to. All fixings are securely housed within the battery compartment, ensuring that there are no accessible external fixings.
If you have any questions regarding this or our other products, or would like to discuss which cabinet best suits your needs, do not hesitate to contact us via phone, online chat, or email.
