Owners and occupants of air conditioned buildings worldwide are burdened with costly property damage and health-threatening conditions caused by omnipresent water inside HVAC systems.
The HVAC system is a well spring of water condensed from circulated air and collected in a drain pan. During cooling operation, water formation is continual and to prevent damage and contamination it must be successively drained away. In most commercial HVAC systems, and many home units, condensate drainage is impeded by negative (below-ambient) pressure. Successful drainage, therefore, requires a special and reliable condensate drain system. When drainage fails, every home and building owner knows the result: damaging overflow, condensate blowing and spreading, and internal contamination.
