Abstract
In a heating, ventilating, and cooling (HVAC) context, a condensate distribution tray is used to receive condensate produced by an evaporator coil and deliver the condensate in a distributed, controlled fashion to the condenser to evaporate the condensate. The condensate distribution tray may have a plurality of tanks for receiving condensate and a plurality of spillways for directing and controlling the rate of the condensate on the condenser. In some instances, a plurality of apertures in the spillways may be sized differently to control the rate of condensate delivery onto different portions of the condenser. Other systems and devices are presented.
