  • Patent number: 11739977
    Abstract: There is provided a condensate pump assembly (100) for use in an air conditioning system. The condensate pump assembly (100) comprises a pump (102) arranged in a housing (104) to pump liquid from a liquid inlet (116) towards a liquid outlet (106). The condensate pump assembly (100) further comprises a liquid receptacle (108) arranged, in a first position in the housing (104), to receive condensate from a condensate inlet (110) and to be in fluid communication with the liquid inlet (116). The liquid receptacle (108) is movable to a second position removed from the housing (104), whereby to empty the liquid receptacle (108). The condensate pump assembly (100) further comprises selective release (112, 114) means operable by a hand of a user to release the liquid receptacle (108) for movement from the first position towards the second position.

  • Patent number: 11661930
    Abstract: A pulsation damper for a condensate pump comprising a housing defining a fluid chamber having a liquid inlet connectable to an outlet of the condensate pump, an air inlet, and a liquid outlet, wherein the air inlet includes a one-way valve configured to selectively introduce air into the housing to maintain a first air pocket within the fluid chamber as liquid flows through the fluid chamber, wherein the liquid outlet is located outside the first air pocket, and wherein the air pocket is configured to dissipate pulsations within liquid entering the housing at the liquid inlet prior to the liquid discharging via the liquid outlet.
