No-Clog Clothes Dryer Duct Booster® Fan Enhances Safety and Energy-Saving Performance— Improves Drying Times Up to 50%
White Bear Lake, Minn. —The level of safety and performance of clothes dryers has been enhanced thanks to the Dryer Duct Booster®, recently introduced by Tjernlund Products, Inc. of White Bear Lake Minnesota. The unique booster fan offers a 5-year no-clog guarantee and the potential of reducing clothes drying time up to 50 percent.
Dryer ducting that is beyond the specified length for the dryer is typically a lint collector. Besides increasing drying times and wasting energy, lint is a major cause of fires. According to a FEMA January 2007 report on “Clothes Dryer Fires in Residential Buildings,” 12,700 fires, resulting in 15 deaths and 300 injuries, occurred annually over a three-year period due to “failure to clean venting systems.”
Tjernlund’s Dryer Duct Booster, which increases air velocity within the vent system when the dryer is running, offers several proprietary features including a “Lint BlitzerTM” blower wheel that repels lint and is the heart of the 5-year no clog guarantee.
The powerful Duct Booster fan provides optimum air velocity in duct lengths up to 100 equivalent feet (add the lengths of straight pipe plus 5 additional feet for each 90 degree elbow and 2.5 feet for each 45 degree elbow). Optimum air velocity removes moisture more efficiently, which reduces drying time. Reduced drying time saves energy with every load and speeds up the entire laundry process.
Do-it-yourself installation is easy in four basic four basic steps: (1) Remove or separate section of duct, (2) mount booster to solid surface, (3) seal connections with duct tape and (4) plug into an electrical outlet. An integral vibration isolating mounting bracket rotates 360 degrees to accommodate vertical and horizontal ducts.
To maximize motor life, the permanently lubricated 50-watt fan motor is positioned out of the air stream, away from damaging heat, moisture and lint exposure.
