Abstract
A condensate trap for an air handling unit is provided. The condensate trap includes at least one channel configured to selectively receive condensation flowing from the air handling unit, a drain outlet configured to selectively discharge condensation from the at least one channel, and a sealing device configured to float above condensation flowing from the least one channel to the drain outlet. The sealing device is further configured to sit atop a bottom surface of the at least one channel such that a seal is created when the at least one channel does not contain condensation, and to prevent a flow of contaminated air from the drain outlet to the air handler without completely blocking airflow from the sealing device to the air handler.
