The filter and the filter blockage sensor may be disposed inside the reservoir. The filter may be a removable filter that can be easily withdrawn for service or replacement without disassembling the reservoir or disconnecting or disturbing any of the tubing or other components of the reservoir or the condensate liquid pumping system.

Abstract: A condensing assembly for urging condensation of a vapour into a liquid has a vertically stacked modular array of horizontal condensation units exposed to a heat transfer medium. Each condensation unit has a cooling chamber, a plurality of hollow legs and necks accessing the cooling chamber to define a fluid passageway. An open or enclosed space between vertically opposed condensation units is created by coupling the necks and legs of opposed condensation units. Introduced vapour travels along the fluid passageways and through the cooling chambers for condensation into liquid, which then travels along the fluid passageways to a storage tank. A cooling loop in each cooling chamber increases condensation. Vapour funnels in the condensation units along the fluid passageway reduce vapour to liquid contact therealong. An inlet header provides additional cooling to the vapour prior to entering the condensation units.

Abstract: A drainage structure for a refrigerator equipped with an integrated product is provided. A mounting space is provided on a front surface of a door of the refrigerator to receive an integrated product such as a TV.

A plurality of valleys may also be formed on the inner surface on which the recesses are formed. The valleys may have an irregular shape, and serve to reduce the size of water drops. Thus, moisture formed in a space into which the integrated product is mounted can be evaporated and discharged to the outside due to heat generated by the integrated product when it is operated.

The drain valve 160 attached to a drain of a drain pan in an air chiller unit is equipped with a valve seat member 162 having an opening 162a at the center and a valve member 164 disposed to contact the lower surface of the valve seat member 162. The valve member 164 is made of thin silicon rubber, and arms 164b created by slits formed thereto support a valve means 164e with extremely small spring constant. While the air chiller unit is operating, the valve means 164e is air tightly attached to the opening 162a of the valve seat by negative pressure, closing the drain valve. When the operation stops and dew drops gather on the valve means 164e, the valve means 164e is displaced by the weight and the valve is opened. When there are no dew drops, the valve is closed to prevent moisture from entering.

Abstract: A condensate trap for an air conditioning system includes a chamber having an upstream port coupled to the air conditioning system and a downstream port coupled to the external atmosphere, a sealing device disposed in the chamber, a lower seat member positioned in the chamber, and an upper seat member, disposed between the sealing device and upstream port.

On the other hand, in response to a negative pressure at the upstream port, the sealing device contacts the upper seat member to form a seal which prevents the ingress of air from the external atmosphere into the air conditioning system. Moreover, in response to a predetermined amount of condensate accumulating in the chamber, the sealing device moves out of contact with the seat members to allow the fluid to drain from the downstream port of the chamber.
