Can I use a Centrax Centrifugal Fan in a humid environment? Yes, the Centrax Fan utilizes a sealed motor that can withstand humid/damp environments. Please use the appropriate strain relief for your application. What does Thermally Protected mean? A thermally protected motor contains a fuse that will cut off power to the motor should the motor temperature exceed a safe limit. Centrax Centrifugal Fans contain an auto-resetting feature. What are the impellers made of? Glass filled nylon with a flame rating of UL94VO. Can I build-in a Centrax, i.e. drywall or panel over it? No. The Centrax must always remain accessible for service, cleaning or repair. Can I use the Centrax to vent outside air? The Centrax has to be protected from rain and excessive moisture. What is the lowest airflow temperature for a Centrax? To maintain good oiling of the motor bearings, we recommend a minimum temperature of 40°F (4°C). What do I typically need for electrical installation? Provided in the box is the hardware for mounting the Centrax Centrifugal Fan. You will need to provide an appropriate strain-relief and the code-correct wire to bring power to the fan. You will also need a screwdriver, duct tape, drill, and pliers depending on your installation. Is the Centrax safe? The Centrax fans have been rigorously tested to the Standards of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and have an ETL listing.

Comments about Suncourt Suncourt Centrax Dryer Booster Kit:

The booster fan works fairly well and is very quiet. I get a lot more airflow now, although in the end I still needed a new dryer.

It can be hard to install in some places, make sure you have enough room. You will need a very large box for the current switch installation.

I'm somewhat concerned that there is hot air coming out the electrical connection. This suggests to me that I may get lint stuck in there eventually. I'll have to watch this.

Comments about Suncourt Suncourt Centrax Dryer Booster Kit:

The company website describes the product and it's uses but fails to inform that, depending on the placement of the fan, a secondary lint trap must be used. This information comes on the instructions enclosed in the shipping contents. When I e-mailed the company to order the lint trap they told me they did not provide them and did not have a suggestion where to purchase. This added considerable time to get the fan installed [...] I found the fan at one of their competitors sites and, by the way, they had a very similar fan at about the same price. So, I could have purchased both from the competition [...]I would recommend this product but not this manufacturer.

Went in really easily. All hardware was included. I was even able to install the CT sensor in my breaker panel for a very neat installation.

In operation, it cut my clothes drying time by at least 50%, maybe more. Nice product!
