This water needs somewhere to go safely. A Condensate Pan serves three major functions in commercial spaces: Collects water drops from cooling coils Prevents water damage to floors below Keeps moisture under complete control Commercial buildings house large cooling systems that produce water continuously.  Without proper collection methods, water would damage expensive flooring materials. Smart building owners invest money in quality water management equipment. How Refrigeration Units Create Water Every Condensing Unit Refrigeration the system works through basic physics prin...
