A collection pan for leaked waters from evaporative coolers is disclosed wherein a rectangularly shaped tray or pan resides underneath an evaporative cooler. The pan is characterized by four up extending sides at the outer perimeter of a flat rectangular base, the sides in height preferably greater than the sides of the base of the evaporative cooler. Generally central to the collection pan situated at a position to conform to the location of the outlet duct in the base of the evaporative cooler is an opening duct, the opening duct also characterized by four up extending sides. This opening duct is adapted to protrude into the outlet duct of the evaporative cooler with the sides of the opening duct in close proximity to the sides of the outlet duct. The height of the the outlet duct sides of the collection pan are greater than the sides of the evaporative cooler outlet duct and, also greater than the height of the sides of the collection pan. Both the inner and outer perimeter sides of the collection pan are terminated with a rolled over lip for strengthening purposes. Water which leaks through a corroded cooler base is caught in the collection pan.
In combination, an evaporative cooler and a collection pan residing under said evaporative cooler for collection of leaked waters from the evaporative cooler, said evaporative cooler of the type defined by a cabinet construction having vertical sides joining a connecting flat horizontal base having a length and a width, said base also having an outlet duct located therein to permit the exit of cooled air, and said collection pan comprising;
In combination, an evaporative cooler and a collection pan residing under said evaporative cooler for collection of leaked waters from said evaporative cooler, said evaporative cooler of the type defined by a cabinet construction having a plurality of vertical sides joining a connecting flat horizontal base, one of said plurality of vertical sides having an outlet duct therethrough to permit the exit of cooled air, and said collection comprising:
