VENTILAT IONSOLUTION
DRYER BOOSTER FANS are speciallydesigned to solve the problems caused bylong duct runs on clothes dryers. Long ductruns with multiple elbows can causeextended drying time as well as lint andmoisture build-up within the dryer duct.
WHEN IS A DRYER BOOSTERNECESSARY?According to some dryer installationinstructions and local building codes,booster fans should be added in thedryer duct run when the length of theduct exceeds 25 feet with no bends,20 feet with one bend or 15 feet withtwo bends.
Dryers were designed to be located onan outer wall and directly vented out ofthe building. In today’s home, condo andapartment designs the laundry has beenmoved to interior locations causing theuse of extensive lengths of duct. Mosttypical dryers cannot operate efficientlyagainst the resistance created by thenecessary duct work. In these applicationsa dryer booster fan is the perfect solution.
HOW DO THEY WORK? When the dryer is on, Fantech’s patentedpressure sensing switch automaticallyturns the booster fan on. Thewarm, moist air in the dryerduct is exhausted quickly.
CALCULATING DUCT RUNTo calculate the length of your plannedduct run, measure from the dryer to theexternal venting point in roof or wall.For each bend or elbow add 5-7 feet toyour total duct run calculations. All ofFantech’s Dryer Boosters can be used onruns up to 130 feet except the DBF110which is effective up to 108 feet.
Always consult local codes before installation.
NOTE: If booster fan is located within 15 linearfeet of the dryer, a DBLT4 Lint Trap should beadded between the dryer and the fan.(See back cover for description.)
