Condensate Sump Pan - 36k Models

OPERATION
• Only 36k models utilize a condensate
sump pan
• During cooling operation condensate
from the indoor coil drains into this
pan
• The condensate in the pan helps pre-
cool the hot liquid refrigerant and
increases overall efficiency of the
system.
• If the outside air gets near freezing the
bellows valve in the pan opens and
condensate drains out to prevent the
pan from freezing.
• This pan should be cleaned during
regular system maintenance.
