Air conditioning condensation drainage system

a drainage system and air conditioner technology, applied in snow traps, lighting and heating apparatus, heating types, etc., can solve the problems of oxidizing the roof membrane, affecting the performance of the roof membrane, and increasing the detrimental effect of the roofing membrane, so as to effectively prepare the roof membrane. the effect of the drainage channel material and the effect of reducing the amount of drain channel material

Abstract

An air-conditioning condensate drainage system for mounting to the roof membrane of the roof structure of buildings or for construction thereof directly onto the roof membrane of a building structure. The air-conditioning condensate drainage system is defined by one or more strips of material having an isolation membrane having a bottom surface for assembly to a roof membrane. A pair of spaced ridge elements project upwardly from the isolation membrane and cooperate with the isolation membrane to define an air-conditioning condensate drainage channel. In the alternative, ridge strips may be disposed in spaced relation and fixed directly to a roof membrane to define condensate drain channels along the roof membrane to in-roof drains. The condensate drain strip or ridge strips maybe molded or extruded and maybe formed directly on and adhered to or fixed to the roof membrane to define the condensate drain channels.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCED TO RELATED PATENT

[0001] The present invention concerns an improvement to the subject matter of U.S. Pat. No. 6,167,717 for “Air Conditioning Condensation Drainage System”, which issued to William E. Dudley and C. Ross Dutton on Jan. 2, 2001.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates generally to the compromise or deterioration of roofing membrane materials by the condensate from air conditioning systems that are mounted on or above the roofs of commercial buildings that are finished with a roofing membrane that is slightly inclined or contoured, so as to direct water to drain openings in the roof and into drain conduits. More particularly, the present invention concerns the provision of a roof mounted drain system for collecting air conditioning condensate from roof-mounted air-conditioning units and conducting the condensate to a disposal drain and simultaneously isolating the roof membrane from contact by the...
