Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2808548A1] Method for collecting the condensate inside an apparatus (500), said method comprising the following steps: - providing a condensate collection system comprising: a bottom collection tank and a top collection tank; a condensate discharge pump intended to displace liquid from the bottom collection tank to the top collection tank; and an overflow system which causes displacement of the liquid contained in the top collection tank and exceeding an overflow level into the bottom collection tank; - collecting a condensed liquid during operation of said apparatus in the bottom collection tank; - actuating (200, 300) said condensate discharge pump so as to displace said condensed liquid from the bottom collection tank into the top collection tank; - detecting (400) a low load condition of said condensate discharge pump, actuation of the condensate discharge pump being interrupted (550) upon detection of said low load condition; - performing (100, 600) a measurement of the actuating time (T 2 ) of the condensate discharge pump, with signalling (700) of a full condition of the condensate collection system when this actuating time (T 2 ) exceeds a maximum time (T 2lim ).
