Condensation management
CAUTION: During operation, avoid leaving the HP POD doors open, to maintain accurate
environmental conditions inside the HP POD.
Supply cooling water that is above the dew point inside the HP POD to prevent condensation forming on
the heat exchangers.
The heat exchanger drip tray collects any condensation that forms on the heat exchangers. This collected
condensate drains out of the HP POD through the heat exchanger condensate drains. HP recommends
connecting condensate drains on the HP POD to a facility drain to prevent collection of water near the HP
POD.
There are three 1.91 cm (¾ inch) condensate drain outlets are across the rear of the HP POD directly
connected to the heat exchanger drip trays. There are two drains for the water main supply and return
lines located on the front of the HP POD.
To avoid excessive buildup of condensate and to conserve energy, raise the cooling water temperature to
above the dewpoint to manage condensation while maintaining the necessary cooling capacity.
HP POD drains
WARNING: Any water that drains around the HP POD causes a potential slip hazard. Use
caution where slip hazards are present.
