Abstract
An air handling unit has a condensate pan which is removably disposed in an opening below the cooling coil. A pair of parallel u-shaped channels have coil support members transversely disposed thereon to support the cooling coil thereabove while slideably receiving the condensate pan therebetween. Sloped tracks are installed between the respective legs of the u-shaped channels, and the condensate pan is correspondingly tapered such that when it is placed in the installed position, its bottom is sloped downwardly toward a drain line.
Claims6
In an air conditioning system of the type having an evaporator coil which is susceptible to the formation of condensate thereon, an improved condensate collecting apparatus comprising:
- a pair of u-shaped channels disposed in parallel relationship with their open ends facing each other;
- a plurality of coil support members extending transversely between and supported by said u-shaped channels, said support members providing vertical support for the coil mounted thereabove;
- and
- a condensate pan removably disposed between said u-shaped channels for collecting condensate falling from the coil.
