Constituted of a pump unit and an independent or integrated detection system, a condensate removal pump enables, in the absence of any slope (gravity flow), condensation water to be evacuated into a waste water pipe.

The use of a pump enables the interior aesthetics of the installation site to be optimised by avoiding the presence of unsightly pipe work.

The presence of non-return valves limits the risk of bacterial contamination caused by the stagnation and backflow of waste water.

Condensate removal pumps can be either two piece or one piece and operate according to 4 different technologies:

1- Oscillating piston pumps

A piston sucks up then evacuates the condensation water.

2- Centrifugal pumps

A turbine evacuates the condensation water. Intended for high flow rates, centrifugal pumps are suitable for evacuating condensates known as “heavy” or “charged” condensates.

3- Peristaltic pumps,

The compression of a tube by a roller conveys the condensates, whether charged or not. These pumps are self-priming and can operate without water, but should not be operated continuously.

4- Membrane pump

The movements of a membrane, generated by 4 pistons, evacuate the condensation water, whether charged or not.
