Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007012157A1] An evaporator unit having a blower and an evaporator coil is provided with a condensate drain pan which is so structured and located as to enable the collection of condensate forming on the evaporator coil when the unit is placed in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. A drainage element provides fluid communication from the drain pan to tubing for conducting the flow of condensate from the unit. The unit housing has openings in a bottom end wall and a back wall such that the tubing can be selectively passed through the appropriate opening to accommodate the respective horizontal or the vertical orientation. In installations where gravity is not sufficient to provide the necessary drainage, a pump is provided within the tubing arrangement. A sump and an associated sensor is provided to activate and deactivate the pump on a selective basis.
