Duct Boosting

Description

DOES YOUR HOME HAVE A ROOM THAT IS DIFFICULT TO HEAT OR COOL?

Many homes and office buildings have at least one area that presents a problem for heating or cooling. This is usually the result of additions or renovations being made without proper consideration for the heating / cooling systems.

In-line duct boosting fans can solve many air moving problems efficiently and quietly. Duct boosting fans are designed to boost airflow through long or complex duct runs, resulting in better air comfort in the “problem” areas.

Combining a pressure switch with an additional thermostat located in the “problem” area will provide additional control. This combination will only provide air boosting when both the pressure switch is activated by the furnace fan and the temperature in the area rises or falls below a comfortable setting.

All of Continental Fan’s in-line duct boosting fans are ideal for duct boosting.

Helpful Tips for Duct Boosting

• Use insulated duct in unheated spaces.
• Control air volume with a variable speed control.
• Sound levels in a duct fan installation decrease as the distance of the fan from the intake grille increases. Five feet is usually adequate.
• Rigid duct tends to echo fan noise. To reduce sound levels, use flexible insulated duct.
• One 4” fan will boost air up to 90 linear feet of duct.
• Always consult local building codes prior to selecting product and materials.
