Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes a drain pan. The drain pan is configured to collect condensate into a basin of the drain pan from an evaporator of the HVAC system and to direct the condensate from the basin via a drain port of the drain pan. A draining surface is formed in the basin and includes a compound slope including a first slope extending along a length of the drain pan and a second slope extending along a width of the drain pan. A raised surface extends from the draining surface and includes protrusions extending from a spine that extends along a side of the drain pan. The raised surface is configured to support the evaporator of the HVAC system.
