6.5.7 Condensate drainage using a condensate pump
Condensate is only drained by a condensate pump with "wet cooling" versions.
The water is drawn off by the condensate pump and discharged along a hose (supplied loose) connected on the pressure
side. Depending on conditions on site, the water can be discharged into drainage lines, possibly with a trap connection.
In the event of a fault with the condensate drain, the water level will continue to rise until the float switch triggers an alarm
contact. The contact can be analysed by external signalling devices.
Cooling mode must be automatically terminated, possibly with a shut-off valve, if the alarm contact is triggered to prevent
the condensate tray from overflowing.
Condensate drain
Drainage of condensate from the condensate pump must be along a natural gradient with an adequate cross-section
(minimum 1/2"). Increase the cross-section of the line with longer condensate lines.
Check whether the condensate line needs to be insulated to prevent the build-up of condensate along the line.
Never use a rigid transition to the on-site condensate drain. We would recommend a free overflow into a trap.
