Sliding drain pans for cooling units

In one instance, a cooling unit for use as an aspect of a cooling system includes a cabinet having a plurality of panels and having an interior, a front face with a fan aperture formed in the front face, and a bottom panel. The cooling unit further includes a drain pan below the bottom panel. The cooling unit also includes a plurality of guide-rail slide and track assemblies coupled between at least a portion of the cabinet and the drain pan for providing controlled movement of the drain pan between an operational position and a maintenance position. Other cooling units are disclosed with drain pans that may be lowered by a single technician.

Drain pan for HVAC system

The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes a drain pan. The drain pan is configured to collect condensate into a basin of the drain pan from an evaporator of the HVAC system and to direct the condensate from the basin via a drain port of the drain pan. A draining surface is formed in the basin and includes a compound slope including a first slope extending along a length of the drain pan and a second slope extending along a width of the drain pan. A raised surface extends from the draining surface and includes protrusions extending from a spine that extends along a side of the drain pan. The raised surface is configured to support the evaporator of the HVAC system.

Multi-configuration drain pan assembly

An HVAC system may include a housing having a first wall and a second wall opposite the first wall and an evaporator disposed within a portion of the housing to cool an air flow. The portion of the housing may include an inlet and an outlet to receive and output the air flow. The HVAC system may also include a multi-configuration drain pan assembly that collects condensate formed by cooling of the air flow and may include a first drain pan and a second drain pan. The first drain pan may selectively couple to the housing in a first position or a second position, and, the second drain pan may couple to the housing in a third position or a fourth position, different from the third position, relative to the first drain pan.
