Claim:
1. An evaporative condensate dissipation system comprising: a receptacle configured to receive and accumulate a liquid condensate from a cooling element of a refrigeration system; a rotating element disposed at least partially within the receptacle such that a portion of the rotating element is submerged in the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle; a motor configured to cause the rotating element to rotate such that a portion of the rotating element is periodically submerged in the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle and emerged from the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle; and an axle; wherein the receptacle and the rotating element are configured to contain the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle until the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle dissipates by evaporation within the rotating element and the receptacle; wherein the axle is fixedly attached to the rotating element such that rotation of the axle causes a corresponding rotation of the rotating element; and wherein the rotating element comprises one or more plates arranged in parallel and concentrically aligned along the axle; wherein the one or more plates are fixed to the axle and configured to rotate about an axis of rotation defined by the axle; wherein the axis of rotation is substantially parallel to an upper surface of the liquid condensate accumulated in the receptacle.
