What is the proper way to run a condensate drain with a trap Does it need a vent?
The condensate drain on the a-coil should have a trap and the trap should be vented for proper operation . The vent should rise above the top edge of the drain pan in the unit. Their should be a capped clean out before the vent.
Why do you need to have esp to calculate the u trap size for condensate drain in ahu?
Because the weight of the water in the trap must be greater than the esp or the trap will be ineffective,and the trap size dictates how much water it can hold thus determining the weight.
Why condenser is use?
whenever steam is utilised as heating media, steam condensate is produced.This steam condensatecan be utilsed for steam generation at some other location and needs to be pumped, for pumping you need some intermediate storage of this condensate. For storing it we use condensate pot whose level can be controlled.
Why is insulation important?
insulation is important, because in order to keep your house nice and warm, and not freezingly cold, you need to insulate your house
Do you need a license to install pipe insulation?
Yes you do and it needs to be inspected.

Dose a positive pressure drain need a trap?
A trap on a positive drain is used to avoid the 'contaminated' air in a HVAC system from traveling through the condensate line and entering into areas where it is unwanted. The trap becomes necessary when one condensate line is used for multiple units, especially if it is tied to other negative pressure drain traps. The negative pressure drain traps may not drain properly if they have to overcome the positive non- trapped pressure of another unit. It allows the condensate to drain more evenly, as well. Without a trap, the positive pressure from the unit can blow air through the drain with the water and cause 'spitting.' A trap on a positive pressure system may not always be necessary, but it is good practice to trap every drain and trap it properly. There are guidelines for both positive and negative pressure traps. Always follow the manufacturers recommendations.
2000 Cherokee drain tube assembly leaking water inside passinger side what is the problem and how to fix it?
Assume you're describing the condensate drain tube??? If it becomes plugged with crusted mud or dust that got wet and stuck to the tube, there can be a point that the tube won't drain properly. You may need to get under the vehicle, find the tube and run a small, flexible wire or other object up the tube to allow the condensate to drain. Once you get it open enough to drain, it might be a good idea to run a small tube up the drain and allow a little water, under low pressure to irrigate the drain tube.
How do you find the condensor drain hose on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe?
Are you talking about the condensate drain hose on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe? If this is the case you will need to look on the left side of the fire wall. You will see a rubber 90 degree elbow pointing downward. If you only see a nipple protruding the fire wall, this means someone has removed it for whatever reason. if this has occurred, the condensate water will not drain properly to the outside and water will end up on the passenger side on the carpet. The condenser associated with the A/C system of an automobile does not have a drain hose.
On a 98 Jetta GLX where is the drain hose for the AC?
It is on the firewall under the hood. The metal insulation shield has a cut out that just need to be pulled up some so the water can drain out. The cut out looks like a light bulb.
When you have vapor emitting from the ac vents and water in the rt floor of a 1995 cutlass sedan is it the heater core or ac evaporator where are they located how are they accessed to replace?
Condensate typically gathers on the evaporator and drips from a drain hole in the bottom of the heater box through a rubber tube to the bottom of the car. If the drain hole is plugged, the condensate can drip to the inside of the vehicle and even blow out the vents. See if you can locate the drain hole from underneath, and run something up there to clean out whatever is plugging the drain hole. You may need to get someone to help you locate it, or you could just find a vehicle similar to yours and see where the water drips out when the AC is running.

How do you remove bad odor from a Saturn Ls?
It depends on the source of the bad odor. If the carpet is loaded with rotting "stuff", you'll need to either clean or replace the carpet. Same with the upholstry. On the other hand, if the AC has been run primarily in "recirculate" mode, you have built up mold in the evaporator coils. During normal operation of an air conditioner, condensate builds up and is supposed to flow out through the condensate drain. You can build up a lot of water through condensate, so you need to make sure the drain is working properly. Generally though, if water isn't dripping inside the car from the air handler box, the drain tube is probably ok. Even if the drain tube is functioning properly, the constantly damp evaporator coils can build up mold which will eventually stink. It's disgusting, and it's the same for all vehicles. You need to make sure you're getting outside air. Turn the AC controls from recirculate (or MAX) to normal. If the smell doesn't go away within a few days you may need to have it professionally cleaned.

Where can I get rear seats for my Chryeler Town and Country?
I have the same problem with my 2001 TC. In a google search I found this answer: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Chrysler-Repair-807/2001-town-country.htm The A/C condensate drain is clogged sending water around the drain hose and under the carpet. Now, all we need is $200+ and a visit to the friendly Chrysler dealer!!!!
Why does water leak into the cab from the air conditioner?
The condensate drain at the bottom of the plenum is blocked. It can become blocked from different causes but the fix is the same in most cases. Stick a wire up the drain tube to clear it. You'll probably need to put your car on a lift to see where the drain is. Some AC installations have a drain tube or tubes that connect to the drain at the bottom of the condenser and carry the condensate water through the floor pan. You will find this on older vehicles with condenser units slung under the dash. The tubes can become kinked or fall off the unit. One way to troubleshoot this problem is (hey, the floor is already wet) to pour water through a dash vent and see where it runs out. If the water leaks out a joint, you probably have a clogged drain. If it leaks through a crack in the plenum you'll need to dry everything out and patch the crack with JBWeld or a similar product. After you locate the leak, take out the carpets and padding and dry it all so your floor pans don't start rusting.
