Abstract
The base pan of a packaged terminal air conditioning system has a first condensate collecting surface under its evaporator coil and a second condensate collecting surface under its condenser coil. Fluid communication between the two surfaces is provided by a condensate flow channel, and the second condensate collecting surface is disposed at a lower vertical height than said first condensate collecting surface, such that the condensate which forms on the evaporator coil drops off and immediately flows to the second condensation collecting surface. A lifting wall is placed just upstream of a lower portion of the condenser fan and adjacent the second condensate collecting surface. The lifting wall, in cooperation with the fan creates an area of decreasing pressure above the second condensate collection surface so as to draw up the condensate into a radially inward portion of the fan where it is drawn into the fan and dispersed onto the condenser coil.
