Abstract
Automated condensate drain line cleaning apparatus are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus may include a controller, a fluid supply line, and at least one fluid flow regulation device. The at least one fluid flow regulation device may be electrically coupled with the controller to receive at least one control signal from the controller. The at least one fluid flow regulation device may cause a fluid to flow into a condensate drain line through the fluid supply line responsive to the at least one control signal. Other apparatus as well as methods and kits are also disclosed.
Claims45
A method comprising:
- performing an automated introduction of a fluid into a condensate drain line;
- and
- removing at least one of microbial material and non-microbial debris from the condensate drain line by flowing the fluid through the condensate drain line.
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller;
- a fluid supply line;
- and
- at least one fluid flow regulation device electrically coupled with the controller to receive at least one control signal from the controller, the at least one fluid flow regulation device to cause a fluid to flow into a condensate drain line through the fluid supply line responsive to the at least one control signal.
A kit comprising:
- a controller;
- at least one fluid flow regulation device capable of being electrically coupled with the controller;
- instructions to couple the at least one fluid flow regulation device with a condensate drain line through a path including a fluid supply line so that the at least one fluid flow regulation device is operable to cause a fluid to flow into the condensate drain line responsive to at least one control signal received from the controller.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least a portion of a condensate drain line;
- and
- automated means for removing microbial buildup from said at least the portion of the condensate drain line.
