I thought a typical residential type clothes dryer had a air flow of 150-200CFM. But the booster fans I have found look like they have a capacity of more like 100-150 CFM (Fantech).
Has anyone used a booster fan?
 
airflow depends on pressuredrop and the fans should have a curve showing flow vs. pressure. Obvioulsy there are different size dryers and fans.
 
Maybe fan tech is for residential dryers? And residential is less than commercial? (which is usually 220 cfm)

I use Exhausto, now called Enervex? But they are more commercial and better price point for multiple dryers. You can also try Tjernlund.

knowledge is power
 
Get a fan curve for both to make sure they can operate in series. not a certain thing.
 
I had forgotten Exhausto. I'll check it out. But I am looking for the CFM for a single residential dryer.
