A single bracket serves to both attach a TXV bulb to an outer surface of an outlet header and to place a securely hold the distribution assembly in a fixed position with respect to the TXV bulb. A pair of clam shell clamping members on opposite ends of a central member are put in position and clamped to hold the TXV bulb tightly in place against the outlet header and to clamp around the equalizer of the distributor assembly, thereby resulting in a rigid interconnection which maintains the desired positions for each of the components.

Condensate formed on a horizontally oriented multi-poise evaporator coil is caught between a top coil slab and a bottom coil slab using a splitter, and is directed to a condensate pan located under the bottom coil slab, using at least one splash guard.

Method and system for horizontal coil condensate disposal

Condensate formed on a vertically oriented multi-poise evaporator coil is directed from a coil slab to a shield configured to attach to a bottom of the coil slab. The condensate is then drained out of the shield and into a condensate pan.

Method and system for vertical coil condensate disposal

A condensate pan for an evaporator assembly comprises a first pan member, a second pan member, and a third pan member. The first pan member has an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein a secondary channel is disposed along the outer wall. The second pan member also has an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein another secondary channel is disposed along the outer wall. The third pan member is coupled to the first and second pan members. The secondary channels of the first and second pan members are connected to a drain channel disposed along a front side of the third pan member.
