Can this be used as a dryer booster fan?

No it can not. This is a plastic unit with a very low air temperature rating.

I don't think so...the blades would likely be your biggest issue; they're pretty close so you'd probably end-up creating a bottle-neck and ultimately a complete blockage.Hope this helps.

No. A fan that is used for a dryer booster must be approved specifically for that application.

Used hair dryer in London.. Very heavy over a pound. Comes with replaceable 5 amp glass fuses to protect delicate computers. My guess is yes. Bring a 10 amp fuse in case. Converter is a beast, should handle a fan cooler.

I would say it would be way to weak for that purpose. This should primarily be used as an entertainment center fan and it goes a good job at what it does. Might as well get a regular fan for what you're trying to do.

Yes, I think it could be used to pull the moisture, and a do better job at that. It easy to hook up. I may try to spray paint with rustoliuem paint, just don't spray the motor inside put tape over it , I think it would last for many years, I would consider using an 8 inch fan also a lot more cfm . I used a squirrel cage fan to do this which was a little more time consuming and also put one in my shower to dry the shower out . After doing that I would use the 6 or 8 inch fan instead,if I had to do it over , you can also use a timer switch.

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

This is a 12 volt DC fan, so you need a DC power supply. I use a computer power supply which works great and can handle the high load - 30-40 watts. This blower is intended for marine use, but I use it to boost a dryer vent line and has survived the heat and humidity for 2 years now.

According to the label in the picture the maximum temperature is only 140 deg. F, or 60 deg C.A more suitable fan for dryer venting may be a similar inline fan with a higher rating, at 130 deg C or 266 deg F.LEDwholesalers 4" Inline Booster Duct Fan 63CFM, GYO2405

No. It will void the UL Listing. A dryer cord is rated for 30 amp and the air conditioner is only rated at 20.

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

No. This is only a screen that filters lint. The air from your dryer will always be hot and very, very moist.

Hi Cheryl, Yes we are currently using it for a whole house fan and it works great! Thank you!

Yes it can , I have two fans running off of a speed control, and it works great

Yes you can do that but you may need to change the plug to match the dryer outlet

Probably not, sensor in bottom detect positive pressure from dryer, this starts the fan.

I wouldn't think for the dryer because the plug is a different configuration and the wire is a larger gauge. Possibly could use for the washer but i wouldn't.

I don't have the dryer with me, it is on my sailboat. But the barrel is small at the opening. Less than 2 inches, but I don't know for sure. It blows plenty of air.

I'm in a Florida condo and due to accessibility mine is mounted at least 20 feet from the dryer vent and no problems. My dryer booster is within a long horizontal run. Good luck!
