RE: [DMCForum] AC condensate drain restriction

["timnagin" <timnagin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ironically I just had my home system looked at and questioned a very
similar
set up.  It was explained to me that this is a water trap added on purpose
so that, as the tech guy stated, "you don't smell the stuff".  On my truck
there seems to be a similar arrangement that would make sense so it does
not
pick up the outside air and exhaust fumes and deliver them into the
passenger compartment.  Did that make sense?

Subject: [DMCForum] AC condensate drain restriction


I'm in the process of putting my a/c back in the dash after having to
repair
the evaporator.  Tonight I got the first good look down the inside of the
condensate drain tube from the passenger compartment end.  It looks like
on
purpose there is a restriction just above the elbow.  From the top it
looks
like you are looking down into a funnel that restricts the ID of the tube
to
about 1/2 of normal.

Does anyone know a logical reason why it is like this?  Wouldn't it be
better to keep the ID of the tube at 100% all the way to reduce the chance
of clogging?
