Abstract
Disclosed is a system for receiving condensate from a v-coil heat exchanger (v-coil), having: a receptor that has: a first channel having a first length defined between first opposing ends, the first channel configured to receive the v-coil, the first channel having a first bottom surface; a second channel disposed at an angle to the first channel and connecting with the first channel at a junction so that fluid flows downstream from the first channel into the second channel, the second channel having a second bottom surface that extends below the first bottom surface; and a heat shield connected to the first channel and extending below the first channel.
