Ideal for applications where complete silence is important. The Compressor Sensor pump is triggered by a sensor, which is designed to be mounted onto the compressor in an external condenser unit.
When the air conditioning system starts up, the compressor produces a localised electromagnetic field, triggering the sensor, which in turn activates the peristaltic pump. The pump runs constantly while the compressor is operational. When the compressor switches off, a 3 minute timer ensures that the condensate tray is emptied before the pump switches off.
Rollers in the pump act as check valves to stop the condensate draining back into the condensate tray. The pump can either be fitted in the ceiling void or installed within the condenser unit (or nearby), as long as the pump and it’s plug/socket are sheltered and fully protected from any water ingress.
The pump can be mounted remotely in this way, as it is self-priming to a height of 5m and will pump 6.25L/h of water against a maximum head of 12m. The Compressor Sensor pump is a peristaltic rotary type – which means that it is quiet in operation, very reliable and will run dry without fear of damage or embarrassing noise.
