Condensate pump on some ac compressor systems a small pump is used to collect and then pump condensate up to a building drain or other location for disposal. Condensate pumps are needed for systems which cannot dispose of the condensate by simple gravity flow down a drain line.
Condensate overflow pan or tray is a container placed below the air handler when that unit is located in an attic or in other building locations where condensate leakage or overflow would otherwise spill onto building floors or into a building ceiling. The condensate overflow pan is a safety device intended to prevent unwanted spillage; normally it does not contain condensate. The condensate overflow pan should have either an independent drain to an approved location or a float switch to shut down the air conditioner should the pan become full.
Electrical controls for an ac compressors system include shut-off switch for service at the unit and fuses or circuit breaker(s) at the electrical panel. The fuse or circuit breaker protects the air conditioner circuit from overheating due to an over current or other electrical failure.
Blower fan (evaporator fan) in a blower compartment circulates building air into itself from the return ducts and returns plenum, and moves that air across the evaporator coil and onwards to the supply plenum and supply ducts in the building. Blowers may be single speed, multiple speeds, or variable speed, and may need to move air at different rates if the blower is used for both heating and cooling in the same duct system. Some air blowers are also rated for continuous operation.
