Condensate pump
A condensate pump is a specific type of pump used to pump the condensate (water) produced in an HVAC (heating or cooling), refrigeration, condensing boiler furnace, or steam system. == Applications == Condensate pumps may be used to pump the condensate produced from latent water vapor in any of the following gas mixtures: Conditioned (cooled or heated) building air Refrigerated air in cooling and freezing systems Steam in heat exchangers and radiators The exhaust stream of very-high-efficiency furnaces Condensate recovery systems help reduce three tangible costs of producing steam: Fuel/energy costs Boiler water make-up and sewage treatment Boiler water chemical treatment == Construction and operation == Condensate pumps are used in hydronic systems that cannot discharge excess condensate water via a gravity feed.
