ABSTRACT:
A condensate vapor and liquid vent for use with an operable air conditioning system in a habitable structure or enclosure which is substantially closed to the atmosphere. Ambient damp air under positive pressure is forced past a conventional refrigerated "A" frame evaporator of reduced temperature. The dampness and contaminants from the air are condensed, concentrated and collected in a pan which surrounds the lower portion of the "A" frame evaporator. A portion of the upper surface of the collection pan is enclosed except for a small opening around the "A" frame condenser and between the "A" frame evaporator and the upper surface of the collection pan. The collection pan has an inclined bottom surface to allow all of the condensate liquid to flow to one corner where a liquid drain removes condensate to the structure sewage system. Intermediate the corner of the collection pan and the conventional "P" trap of the condensate drain system is a vapor vent to atmosphere. This vent due to the positive pressure of the circulating ambient air forces condensate vapor in the collection pan and around the "A" frame evaporator to flow to the atmosphere. A blower motor may be positioned within the vent to continue to remove condensate vapors from the ambient air around the "A" frame condenser and collection pan when the air conditioning system is not in use.
