Manufactured in Canada, the Vortex Powerfan inline booster kit includes a 227 CFM VTX500 inline blower, for 5 in. Dia duct, and a current sensor that will automatically turn on and off the Vortex VTX500 inline blower as required. For example, In a clothing dryer application, when the dryer is turned on, the VTX500 will automatically turn on and will stay on for 5 minutes after the dryer is turned off. This will allow the dryer to perform better and more efficiently. Both, drying time and power consumption are therefore reduced.
VTX500 design features:
- Supplied with mounting bracket for easy installation.
- Suitable for airstream temperatures up to 140°F.
- Aerodynamic design allowing more air flow.
- Heavy gage steel casing with a hammertone powdercoat finish, making it more sound absorbing, durable, impact resistant and rustproof.
- High quality maintenance-free balanced motor, making it vibration free, quieter and longer lasting.
- Extended collar and lip, allowing easy duct hook-up.
- Optional speed control easing air flow adjustment, allowing better balancing of the ventilation system.
- 227 CFM
The ACS-5 product is a solid-state current switch with N.O. Triac outputs to control high-current line-voltage AC loads.
