Abstract:
1. A condensate management system for a condensate drain, the condensate management system comprising: an inlet and an outlet; a primary condensate flow path from the inlet to the outlet a check valve disposed along the primary condensate flow path; a flush path from the inlet to the outlet that is different than the primary condensate flow path; a pump coupled in or on the flush path; and a logic panel configured to detect a condition for flushing and to actuate the pump between a flushing mode and a standby mode based on the condition for flushing; wherein the check valve is configured to allow fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet; wherein when the pump is actuated to the flushing mode, the pump is configured to exert a negative pressure at the inlet and a positive pressure at the outlet, wherein the negative pressure at the inlet and the positive pressure at the outlet closes the check valve.
