GECITM GREEN DIAMOND CHARGER DESCRIPTION

The Green Diamond Charger has been designed to charge lead-acid motive batteries. This charger converts the AC input to DC, at the proper value to charge the battery.
The operation is completely automatic, and it’s managed by a microprocessor based control system, composed by a Main Control Board, installed inside of the charger, and an optional wireless Battery Identification Module (WBM), that is permanently connected to the battery.
The exclusive power conversion system of the Green Diamond Charger is based on a new, patented, frequency multiplier circuit. This system offers very high electrical efficiency, near unity power factor and very low output current ripple.
These features determine a very high electrical efficiency of the entire motive power system (Battery + Charger), because all the losses of the charge/discharge cycle are minimized.
The exclusive charging curve of the Green Diamond charger allows to reduce the charging factor to the minimum value, so the duration of the overcharge/gassing phase and the average temperature of the battery are minimized.
The Green Diamond Charger is suitable for Conventional and Opportunity charging applications. It’s equipped with a builtin Real-Time Clock, which allows the user to program the desired start time of the day, the full charge time window and to schedule the weekly equalize cycles.
The Green Diamond Charger is able to monitor its performances and its energy consumption. It provides estimates of the energy savings, in the three fundamental formats:

  • Total Energy Saved ………………………(kWh)
  • Total Reduction of Greenhouse Gas emission ………….(lbs of CO2)
  • Total Saving on Energy Bill………………………   (USD)

These information, and all the operating parameters of the charger are shown on the alphanumeric display.
In addition, it’s possible to connect the charger to the Fleet Management System DoctorFleet.com, which allows to monitor the complete fleet through a WEB based interface, and to send automatic alarm messages and usage reports by email.
