Cleaning Drain Pan
Hazardous Chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly
alkaline and can burn severely if contact with skin
occurs. Handle chemical carefully and avoid contact
with skin. ALWAYS wear Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) including goggles or face shield, chemical
resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as required. For
personal safety refer to the cleaning agent
manufacturer's Materials Safety Data Sheet and follow
all recommended safe handling practices. Failure to
follow all safety instructions could result in death or
serious injury.
The condensate drain pan and drain line must be checked
to assure the condensate drains as designed. This
inspection should occur a minimum of every six months or
more often as dictated by operating experience.
If evidence of standing water or condensate overflow
exists, identify and remedy the cause immediately. Refer
to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting chapter for
possible causes and solutions.
To clean drain pans:
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
2. Wearing the appropriate personal protective
equipment, remove any standing water.
3. Scrape solid matter off of the drain pan.
4. Vacuum the drain pan with a vacuum device that uses
high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters
with a minimum efficiency of 99.97 percent at
0.3 micron particle size.
5. Thoroughly clean any contaminated area(s) with a
mild bleach and water solution or an EPA-approved
Side
sanitizer specifically designed for HVAC use.
6. Immediately rinse the affected surfaces thoroughly
with fresh water and a fresh sponge to prevent
potential corrosion of metal surfaces.
