Dryer Booster Fan Kit w/ Pressure Switch

Description

The DVK Dryer Booster Fan Kit with Pressure Switch is designed to be mounted in the duct between the fan and the dryer. The DVK100B-P Dryer Booster Fan Kit includes a DVK100B fan and  a PST120V pressure switch. The PST120V is an airflow proving switch. It initiates the booster fan when it senses positive air pressure from an operating dryer, and the pressure switch has an integral timer with a 10 minute ON 15 second OFF cycle, enabling the fan to restart as long as the dryer is operating. DVK fans are designed to enhance the drying efficiency of residential, commercial, and industrial clothes dryers. The DVK Dryer Booster Fan Kit features a quiet and efficient backward curved impeller that is capable of overcoming long duct runs, and an in-line configuration that simplifies installation.

Helpful Tips for a Dryer Booster Fan Kit

Most residential dryers are designed to vent approximately 15 feet of duct. With the introduction of main floor and second story laundry rooms, duct runs have become complex, often exceeding dryer manufacturers’ recommendations. The results are longer drying times, greater wear and tear on the dryer and higher energy costs.

• DVK fans should be mounted at least fifteen linear feet from the clothes dryer.
• Each 90-degree elbow is equivalent to five linear feet of duct.
• DVK fans are designed to vent up to 100 feet of 4-inch rigid duct.
• Rigid duct is recommended to optimize fan performance.
• If using flex duct, it should be stretched as smooth as possible.
• For duct runs in unheated spaces, Continental Fan recommends insulated duct to reduce the effects of condensation.
• An LT100 lint trap may be installed between the dryer and the booster fan to reduce lint build-up and maintenance on the fan.
• Continental Fan does not recommend wiring a dryer booster fan directly into a clothes dryer.
