  "definition": "A ventilation system component designed to remove moisture from an air handling unit's cooling coil or humidifier section. It consists of a P-trap filled with water that allows condensate to drain out while preventing air from being drawn into or blown out of the unit. The trap's depth must be sufficient to overcome the air pressure difference, with a common rule being one inch of depth for every inch of water column pressure.",
