product information

Fluidic flow control
Trent Technologies, Tyler, Texas

An eight-page brochure and a Power Point presentation define and illustrate the operation of a condensate drain system for air conditioning units. The brochure shows how the system is installed in place of a condensate trap. And it explains how the system makes use of air to form a seal in the drain line that ensures reliable performance under all operating conditions, according to the manufacturer. The many condensate problems caused by water traps are enumerated and there is an explanation of how each one is eliminated by this system, the CostGard Condensate Drain Seal. Performance and dimensional characteristics necessary for engineers to specify the system are also included. The Power Point presentation covers background and user application. There is a short video that shows operation of the system using a simulated air handler.
