Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method for reducing lint accumulation from a clothes dryer exhaust in a dryer exhaust system, by increasing the airflow through the exhaust system over that generated by the dryer exhaust fan is described. A blower or fan is used to direct a flow of air into a flow coupler into which the dryer exhaust conduit is vented, such that the airflow reduces the pressure in the dryer exhaust conduit, thereby increasing the flow and reducing the accumulation of lint therein.
