3.6. Connection of a Condensate Drain
Operation of units with counter-flow plate heat exchangers or cooling devices causes condensation, which accumulates
in specially designed condensate trays. Condensate is removed from condensate trays via drainage pipes, therefore a con-
densate drainage system must be connected. Drainage piping must be at least 40 mm in diameter, mounted with a slope,
without narrowing sections or loops preventing water from draining. If such drainage piping is installed outdoors or in un-
heated premises, it must be adequately insulated or equipped with a heating cable to prevent water from freezing during
winter. Drainage piping is connected to the unit with a siphon. Due to positive or negative air pressure in the air handling
unit, water cannot drain out of the condensate collection tray by itself. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a proper height
siphon or a siphon with a one-way valve to the drain pipe.

Height H of a siphon without a one-way valve is selected according to static pressure p inside the air handling unit:

Example of a siphon with a one-way valve
Any drainage system cannot be directly connected to the common waste water system in order to protect supply air
from contamination with bacteria and odours. Condensate from the air handling unit drainage system shall be collected into
a separate container or should be lead to a sewage grille without any direct contact: do not connect drain directly to sewer
pipe and do not immerse it into water. Condensate collection location must be easily accessible for cleaning and disinfection.
