CONDENSATE COLLAR UPFLOW

Collars can be found in all types of restaurant equipment and are common accessories to other components. A collar is a restraining or connecting band, ring, flange, or pipe in machinery used to restrain motion, hold something in place, or join two or more parts together. Mechanical collars often hold bearings and sprockets on shafts, situate components in motor and gearbox assemblies, and serve as mechanical stops. Collars may also be used on cups and containers, blending pitchers and more.

Condensate is a common byproduct from the operation of refrigerators, freezers, and ice machines. Condensation occurs when water is changed from it's gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid as it passes over the evaporator coil. Typically this can occur when warm air comes into contact with cold surfaces where water droplets will form. A condensate drain system is the exit route for this moisture as is collects in condensate the pan, and out through the condensate drain line.
