Cooling system 25
Water from natural condensation might form. Condensation from the heat exchangers flows to the
condensate drain on the rear of the HP POD. The three water main drains, located on the front of the HP
POD collect any water from a water main leak. A fifth drain, located on the optional humidifier, removes
excess water from the humidifier.
Item Component
1 Heat exchanger condensate drain
2—4 Water main drains
IMPORTANT: You might have to pipe directly to your local storm or sanitary drain,
depending on local jurisdiction.
If your HP POD is located indoors, you can connect to an external drain line. If your HP POD is located
outdoors, the drained water simply drips out the back of the HP POD.
HP recommends connecting the condensate drains on the HP POD to a facility drain to prevent collection
of water near the HP POD.
Leak detection
If too much water accumulates in a drain tray, an alarm is triggered and sent through the HP POD ECS,
indicating a possible leak. For more information, see Alarm status overview (on page 37).
