* 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 one-half

 

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

recommended for cleaning. Fill trap with water to make an

air seal. Observe all sanitary requirements.
