WCPU Condensate Drainage Solutions

Reliable, engineered water management for water-cooled package units.
Water-Cooled Package Units (WCPUs) produce significant condensate that must be safely removed to prevent equipment damage, corrosion, and microbial growth. EKG Malaysia provides complete, compliant drainage solutions—from simple pump kits to fully piped central systems—ensuring reliable operation for standalone and multiple WCPU installations.

Our Range of Solutions:

• Unit-Mounted Pump Kits: Dedicated, compact condensate pump installed directly on or adjacent to the WCPU. Includes reservoir, float switch, and discharge line.

• Centralized Sump Systems: For multiple WCPUs, directing all condensate to a common sump pit with a robust submersible pump.

• Hybrid Drainage: Combining gravity drain (where possible) with pumped lift for difficult runs.

• Alarm & Monitoring Integration: High-level float switches connected to the WCPU control panel or BMS for immediate fault indication.

Critical Design Considerations for WCPUs:

• Condensate Volume: High latent loads in tropical climates mean WCPUs can produce 10–30+ liters/hour of condensate.

• Corrosive Fluid: Condensate is slightly acidic and can accelerate corrosion; materials must be compatible.

• Redundancy Needs: For critical cooling, a backup pump or alarm system is essential.

• Local Code Compliance: Must meet plumbing and electrical standards, especially for discharge into sanitary systems.

Common Applications:

• Server rooms and data centers using WCPUs for precision cooling.

• Standalone commercial spaces (shops, offices, clinics) with rooftop or floor-mounted units.

• Industrial process areas where WCPUs provide spot cooling.

• Retrofits where existing drainage is inadequate.

Why Proper Drainage is Critical for WCPUs:

• Prevents Internal Damage: Overflow can damage electrical components, insulation, and the unit's structure.

• Avoids Nuisance Trips: Many units have a condensate overflow safety switch that will shut down the system.

• Controls Humidity & IAQ: Effective removal is key to maintaining designed humidity levels and preventing mold.

Our End-to-End Service:

1. Site Survey & Load Calculation: Assessing condensate output and drainage route.

2. System Design & Specification: Selecting the most effective and cost-efficient solution.

3. Installation & Commissioning: Professional implementation and testing of the complete system.

4. Ongoing Support: Maintenance contracts and emergency repair.

Don't let drainage be an afterthought.
A professionally designed system protects your significant investment in WCPU cooling.
