ABSTRACT:
A cleanable condensate trap usable with an air cooling system is disclosed. The condensate trap includes a U-shaped tube having first and second ends and a first T-shaped tube having first, second and third legs with the first leg being attached to the first end of the U-shaped tube. The second leg of the first T-shaped tube is connected to, for example, a drain tube which removes condensate from an air-handling portion of air cooling system. The third leg of the first T-shaped tube includes an opening whereby a cleaning device, such as brush, can be inserted into the U-shaped tube to remove material clogging the U-shaped tube. In order to detect a clogged condition of the U-shaped tube, the U-shaped tube can be made clear or transparent. Additionally, a switching device can be included in the third leg of the first T-shaped tube which can be operatively attached to a circuit which provides power to the air cooling system. When the U-shaped tube becomes clogged and liquid in the U-shaped tube rises to a predetermined level, the switch device opens the circuit and renders the air cooling system inoperative. A second T-shaped tube can be attached to the second end of the U-shaped tube to allow for the removal of clogging material from the U-shaped tube by the cleaning device.
