I'm having a commercial (glassed) freezer here for a hobby project of mine. It is a used unit which I got from a shop that closed.
The seller had roughly cleaned the unit before I picked it up and had left the evaporation pan for the condensation and spill water extra after cleaning.
It looks like the pan used to be just placed on the floor of the technical compartment with the hose from the drain ending in it and two loops of the hot side/copper return pipe being inside the pan so that any water would be heated for evaporation. As like this there would always be some remaining water standing in the pan (as the copper tubes have some gap to the bottom of the pan) I was asking myself if it would be better to place the (all aluminum)pan on top of the hot copper tubes, so that it still gets warm but the copper tubes don't come in contact with the water anymore + the pan itself being heated potentially all the water being able to evaporate.
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences to a noob engineer of a different field.
