Abstract

A control system to selectively control the operation of the compressor of an air conditioning system including at least one remote evaporator operatively coupled to the compressor to receive refrigerant therethrough, an air handler control system including a fault sensor to monitor the operation of the remote evaporator and to selectively generate a fault signal, and logic or circuitry to receive the fault signal from the fault sensor and to generate a fault control signal fed to the compressor to turn-off the compressor when a predetermined operating condition exists at the remote evaporator and a condensate drain pan to collect condensate from the remote evaporator, the control system comprising a condensate sensor disposed to sense condensate in the condensate drain pan at a predetermined level and to generate a condensate level signal fed to a control device coupled between the condensate sensor and the fault sensor of the air handler control system including logic or circuitry to generate a condensate level control signal in response to the condensate level signal and fed to the fault sensor to generate the fault signal causing the air handling control system to generate the fault control signal to turn-off the compressor when condensate within the condensate drain pan reaches the predetermined level.
