Abstract: A liquid detector comprising a housing having a plurality of side walls and a bottom surface; a sensor mounted within a cavity of the housing and having a sensing surface configured to detect a liquid on an outer surface of a first of the plurality of side walls, and securing means to secure the housing relative to a surface of an external reservoir, wherein the plurality of side walls extends from a top end to a lower end, wherein the bottom surface has a profile comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion and second portion are lower than the plurality of side walls, and wherein at least a lower-most point of the second portion is lower than at least one point of the first portion.

Abstract: A condensate pump assembly comprising: a housing having an inlet port, a reservoir arranged to receive liquid through the inlet port, and an outlet port having an outlet assembly mounted thereto, a pump arranged to pump liquid from reservoir to the liquid outlet assembly, and a pair of clips releasably connectable to the housing at a first pair of mounting portions and a second pair of mounting portions, wherein each of the pair of clips has a first portion for connecting to a first external element and a second portion for connecting to a second external element, wherein the pair of clips are configur the first external element when connected to the first pair of mou the pair of clips are configured to mount the housing to the sec connected to the second pair of mounting portions.

Abstract: The present disclosure comprises a method of controlling a condensate pump assembly which comprises a pump and a controller connected to the pump, the method comprising measuring a current value drawn by the pump, comparing the measured current value to a predetermined threshold current value and controlling operation of the condensate pump assembly based on the current value comparison. Also provided is a condensate pump assembly for use in an air conditioning system, comprising a housing comprising an upper housing portion and a pump arranged to pump liquid from a liquid inlet to a liquid outlet.

Abstract: An anti-vibration arrangement for a condensate pump comprising a housing having a first opening; a pump motor contained within the housing having a pump motor inlet in fluid communication with a pump motor outlet; and a resiliently deformable collar secured within the first opening having an aperture through which the pump motor inlet projects. The resiliently deformable collar comprises an outer portion secured to the housing, an inner portion to support the pump motor inlet and a connecting portion located between the outer portion and the inner portion, such that oscillations of the pump motor cause the connecting portion to deform and allow the inner portion to move in reciprocating manner.
