Abstract: A condensate collection tank (1) for an air conditioning system is provided. The tank (1) comprises a body (20) for storing condensate liquid, a lid (10) releasably connectable to the body (20) to form the tank (1) and a mounting bracket (112) for fixing the lid (10) to a mounting surface. The tank (1) further includes an inlet port (50, 90) for condensate liquid from the air conditioning system, an outlet port (40, 80) for condensate liquid from the tank (1), a sensor (104) for determining whether an amount of condensate liquid in the tank (1) exceeds a threshold value, and a controller for controlling removal of the condensate liquid from the tank (1) via the outlet port (40, 80) when the sensor (104) determines that the threshold value has been exceeded.

Abstract: A conduit (51) for a condensate removal pump is disclosed comprising a tubular member (47) having a profiled rim (53, 54) at a distal end, profiled such that only a portion of the rim lies in a plane located at the extreme distal end of the tubular member perpendicular to the axis of the tubular. A resilient membrane (52) which has a slit extends across the interior of the tubular member and is arranged to open, to allow water to pass, when water is drawn through the conduit. A combined sensor and suction tube assembly (50) is also disclosed comprising a tube (55), a self heating thermistor (56) coupled to the tube, and a relay means (69) to relay an operational parameter of the self heating thermistor, indicative of the presence of water, to a condensate removal pump. The combined sensor and suction tube assembly is sized to fit within a pipe having an inner diameter of 20 mm.
