DVK Clothes Dryer Vent Booster Fans

Description

DVK Clothes Dryer Vent Booster Fans are designed to enhance the drying efficiency of residential, commercial, and industrial clothes dryers. DVK booster fans feature quiet and efficient backward curved impellers that are capable of overcoming long duct runs. They feature an in-line configuration that simplifies installation. Ultimately, the unique design features results in a quiet and powerful dryer boosting solution.

Most residential clothes 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. This results in longer drying times, greater wear and tear on the dryer, and higher energy costs. Therefore, a clothes dryer boosting fan is the perfect solution for the inefficiencies resulting from a complex duct run of a clothes dryer.

DVK Fans are available in three activation methods:

Continental Fan does not recommend wiring a dryer booster fan directly into a clothes dryer.  For this reason, three kits are available with our recommended activation methods.

• DVK100B-P Kit with Pressure Switch
• DVK100B-PM Kit with Pressure Switch – Mounted

 Helpful Tips for Clothes Dryer Vent Booster Fans

• Mount the DVK fan 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 the fans performance. If using flex duct, stretch it as smooth as possible. (Always consult local codes before selecting a duct type.)
• 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.
