* Recommended line sizes correspond to 2 degree F drop.
NOTES:
1.Pipe sizes should never be smaller than cooling unit connection size.
2.Table is based on 2 degree F drop over entire length. Excessive (more than a few) elbows and fittings will significantly affect pressure drop. If this situation exists, line sizing must be re- calculated.
Step 11 - Install Unit Drain Line - Install a trapped |
|
condensate drain line at unit drain connection The drain |
|
requires standard pipe connected to condensate pan |
|
nipple(s). Figure 7 shows proper trap design. |
|
Determine design negative static pressure. This |
|
pressure is not the same as fan total static pressure, which |
|
includes pressure losses downstream as well as upstream |
|
from the evaporator air fan. Always assume the worst |
|
conditions, such as having return air filters clogged with |
|
debris. |
|
Referring to Figure 7, differential 1 must be equal to or |
|
larger than negative static pressure at design operating |
|
condition. Store enough water in trap to prevent losing |
|
seal. Differential 2 must be equal to or larger than |
|
the maximum negative static pressure. To avoid loss of |
|
seal when the fan starts, differential 3 must be greater |
|
than the maximum negative static pressure. |
|
Do not use drain line smaller than 3/4 inch. Use hole(s) |
|
provided in panel for drain line. Pitch drain line downward |
|
toward scupper. Installation of a plugged tee is | FIGURE 7 - CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP |
recommended for cleaning. Fill trap with water to make an | |
air seal. Observe all sanitary requirements. |
