The
Dryer Facts:
When
it comes to dryers, where is the perfect installation
with little to no duct length? The reality which contractors
and homeowners have to work with is far from perfect.
A short dryer duct length is not always possible. This
is where Fantech Dryer Boosters can help.
Under prime conditions, residential and commercial
clothes dryers should dry clothing in a timely fashion.
Problems occur when dryers are connected to long runs
of duct work. This is the reason why most residential
dryers are located against outside walls. The exhausted
air is vented directly to the outside without complicated
ducting to hinder the performance of the dryer.
Many dryer installations do not allow direct venting
and the typical residential dryer cannot operate efficiently
against the resistance created by the necessary duct
work. The results are longer drying times, higher energy
usage and costs, and excessive wear and tear on the
dryer.
Some common examples are:
- Basements that do not allow direct venting.
- Central interior located residential laundry rooms.
- Apartment complexes with centrally located laundering
areas.
- Apartment complexes with individual hook-ups for
dryers in each apartment.
