I have the same question for you guys. We have a window A/C unit from wich a rigid ducting was installed years ago. Two registers are located downstream, the second one about 5 meters away from the A/C unit. From that register a flexible 6" duct was attached to a point about 2 meters away whre it hits the last register. The problem is that in between the second and last register a beam cuts across the ducting which forced the installer to make an "S" bend in order to go below it and again up (whole installation is up against the ceiling). As you can see, the flow to the last register is minimal. Someone installed a "booster fan" aproximately a third of the way down from the second register and still the flow is negligible. I was thinking about buying a "real" booster fan from HOME DEPOT, it is rated a 80cfm. Someone was offering me a register wich has a fan attached directly inside. the actual "booster" and the one I just mentioned look like an old insdustrial fan inside of a square metal box, they do not look very efficient, no rating is available either. Will the HOME DEPOT unit solve my problem ? from your explanation I gather no more than 100CFM will be available from my ducting, is that right ?
