Drip tray Tefcold SpareParts 11496

A drip tray captures the moisture that condenses inside refrigeration equipment when warm air contacts cold surfaces. As the evaporator coil cools the air, water droplets form and fall into the tray positioned directly beneath. This collected condensate is then channelled away, either to a drain line or an evaporation pan, keeping the internal components dry and free from ice accumulation or corrosion.

The operator slides the tray into its designated slot under the evaporator coil, where it remains in place to catch every drop. No adjustments or settings are required; the tray functions passively, holding the water until it is manually removed for cleaning or until the unit's automatic drain system disposes of it.

It is designed for straightforward installation and removal, requiring no tools—simply slide it out by hand once the refrigeration unit is switched off and defrosted if necessary.

Regular maintenance involves removing and cleaning the tray to prevent scale and bacterial growth. The frequency depends on usage and ambient humidity, but a typical schedule is every one to three months. The tray should be emptied and wiped down during routine servicing to maintain hygiene and system efficiency.

This Tefcold drip tray 11496 is a direct replacement for specified Tefcold commercial refrigeration models, as listed in the manufacturer's compatibility guide.
