The positive thermal coefficient (PTC) electric condensate evaporator pan takes advantage of new technology that can reliably supply wattage at a lower level suitable for low flash point refrigerants. Wattage is constantly being provided at a reduced rate of approximately 10% of nominal value in open air as the resistance is self-regulated to a higher value with the higher sheath temperature. Once condensate water is introduced to the heating element wattage will be provided at the nominal value as the resistance is self-regulated to a lower value with the lower sheath temperature. There are four wattage levels available with the PTC designs which are 400 watts, 500 watts, 750 watts, and 1000 watts with the u-bend shape.
