If you have a dryer with long or complicated duct runs, S&P offers the perfect solution to increase dryer efciency: the
PV100x Dryer Booster Fan. The PV100x has been specically designed to handle dryer boosting applications when
overcoming long or complicated duct runs. This system helps save on drying time, moisture build-up, wear and tear on your
dryer, and helps save on your electric bill. The centrifugal blade design is able to
overcome extreme resistance from the most challenging installations. The PV-100x
offers a fully enclosed motor, which ensures a long, trouble free life; thus making it
the right choice for enhancing the performance of your clothes dryer.
The PV-100x fan is available separately or as part of a kit that includes everything
necessary for a hands-free operation. Once the system is installed you will no longer
waste time, energy or unnecessary wear and tear on your dryer. The next step is to
select which activation best ts your needs.
How to activate the PV-100x fan for clothes dryer boosting
Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are a viable method of fan activation
and a good solution for many installations. The pressure
switch senses the pressure differential in the duct created
by the dryer operation, thus activating the fan. Conversely,
when the dryer is deactivated, the pressure switch senses
this differential and the fan is deactivated. S&P’s PV-
100xps utilizes a compact pressure sensor and run timer
enclosed within the junction box and mounted to the fan
housing. The pressure sensor is also available as an
accessory.
Current Sensors
Current sensors are S&P’s “preferred” method of activation. They are “fail-safe”, as there is no
maintenance required on the current sensor and they’re easy to install. The current sensing device
can be installed at the outlet (where the dryer plugs into the wall) or at the circuit breaker box.
When the device senses current going to the dryer, it activates the fan and vice-versa. No thought!
No maintenance! Our choice!
Interlocks
Interlocks, like Current Sensors, are another “fail-safe” method of clothes dryer booster
activation. The interlocks senses when the fan is running and activates the dryer. Used
as a safety feature, if the fan is not running or if there is a problem with the fan the dryer
will not turn on.
All 3 activation methods are available as accessories or in the S&P’s all inclusive dryer booster kits.
NOTE
The PV-100x Dryer Booster fan is suitable for use
with duct runs of up to 105 linear feet of 4” rigid duct
or a maximum of 6 elbows and 80 feet.
The sidewall unit can be paired with a current sensor or pressure switch when interior duct access in
a home, apartment or townhouse is limited or difcult. The expanded exhaust grille allows for the easy
passing of lint laden air. The SWF utilizes the same powerful motor as the PV-100x and is also suitable
for duct runs up to 105 feet or up to 80 feet with 6 elbows. The low prole SWF fan is easy to install
with an epoxy coating that can be painted to match the exterior of the building. The SWF
also offers the same trusted 5 year warranty.
