Pfannenberg Accessory for cooling units Externe KondensatverdunstungKV PTC

Why Choose the Pfannenberg KV PTC 18314000001 External Condensate Evaporation System?

The Pfannenberg KV PTC 18314000001 is an external condensate evaporation system designed to manage condensed water produced by industrial enclosure cooling units. Rather than allowing condensate to accumulate in an external collection container, the KV PTC uses an electrically heated evaporation system to evaporate collected condensate and simplify cooling unit maintenance.

The system uses a PTC heating element that activates when liquid is present, providing active condensate management while avoiding unnecessary continuous heating. This helps eliminate the need for condensate collection buckets and reduces the maintenance associated with manually emptying accumulated water.

Designed as a universal Pfannenberg cooling unit accessory, article 18314000001 is suitable for all Pfannenberg cooling units. It supports industrial AC supplies, with Pfannenberg documentation identifying compatibility with 115 / 230 V AC at 50 / 60 Hz, and its compact housing measures 99 mm high, 268 mm wide and 95 mm deep.

Active Condensate Management for Enclosure Cooling Units

Industrial enclosure cooling units can produce condensate when warm, humid ambient air encounters cold surfaces within the cooling system. Where this water cannot be conveniently discharged through a normal drain arrangement, an external condensate evaporation system provides an effective method of managing the accumulated liquid.

The Pfannenberg KV PTC collects condensate from the cooling unit and uses its PTC heater to evaporate the liquid when it is detected. This reduces dependence on collection containers, helps minimise the risk of overflowing condensate and can reduce maintenance requirements around industrial electrical enclosures.

Typical Applications

• Pfannenberg industrial enclosure cooling units.
• Electrical control cabinets with active cooling systems.
• Industrial automation and PLC enclosures.
• Machinery and production equipment control cabinets.
• Installations where gravity drainage of condensate is impractical.
• Applications where external condensate collection containers are undesirable.
