    Re: Condensate Lines

    Hi Matt,

    its not a good idea having excessive condensate pipework in a low temp store. Even worse is having all connected up together as you describe.

    My golden rules are......

    1. Short condensate pipe as possible.

    2. Individual heater tape per cooler.

    3. Self limiting external heater tape, with insulation (lagging to us brits & nordic invaders)

    4. Compression joints on pipe fittings. This allows easy removal for cleaning/repair work.

    5. Indicator lamp on control panel proving power supply to heater tape + indicator lamp for defrost circuit breaker or fuse.

    6. Regular inspection (maintenance)

    OH, plus keep a wooly hat & a good coat in the van for thoose long hours which you may have to spend chipping ice away.

    Ouch. That should generate some comments!
    If all else fails, ask for help.
