Altronics PWC-WD

Altronics' air quality computer is now available in a trailer-mounted version: The PerformAIRE Weather Center. This stand-alone system uses a remote sensor housing that can be located outside the trailer in the open air; the housing is an aluminum white powdercoated extrusion. Dual internal fans keep fresh air moving through the housing for accurate air measurements. The control console can be mounted inside the trailer, where run & weather data is entered/monitored using keypad and LCD (personal computer NOT needed).

The PerformAIRE Weather Center monitors the Temperature, Absolute Barometric Pressure, Relative Humidity, Vapor Pressure (VP), Grains of Water (GOW), Horsepower Correction Factor (CF), Air Density Ratio (ADR), Dew Point, % Oxygen, Wind Speed, Wind Gust, and Wind Direction through its state-of-the-art electronic sensors. This information is transmitted into a microprocessor where Density Altitude (DA), Oxygen Altitude (OA), and predicted values (ETs, Timer/Throttle Stop, Jet/Tune settings) are calculated and displayed to incredible accuracy through exact scientific equations formulated for internal combustion engines (verified by authorities in atmospheric research). Optional (not included) wind sensor provides on-the-fly prediction adjustments for wind effects.

The PerformAIRE Weather Center contains a database that allows for storage of runs and then uses this data to automatically predict ETs, Throttle Stop Settings, Jet Sizes, etc. The predicted values can be based on several performance factors, such as, DA, OA, ADR, VP, or CF. The predicted values are continually updated with each new sample of air. The stored runs are also tagged with a time and date stamp and weather info to allow for later referencing. The expandable data base is capable of storing hundreds of runs and will allow those runs to be stored in separate databases, which can be labeled for specific cars or tracks.

Paging System: Without the need of having a personal computer in your trailer the PerformAIRE WEATHER CENTER can send complete weather and prediction information to you anywhere at the track, including the staging lanes! Multiple pagers can be ran off the system and predictions can be sent for multiple cars. Paging range is 2 miles (minimum), and there are no service fees. This is a stand-alone system!
