Zusammenfassung:A condensate drainage enhancing device (28) is provided for an evaporator (10). An integrally molded plastic part snap fits around the conventional lower manifold (12), with rails (30) maintained in tight engagement with the front (18) and rear edges of the refrigerant flow tubes (16). These interrupt the meniscus films of columns of retained water that would otherwise form and, which instead drains down ribs (34) that depend from the rails (30).
