MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621022868 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Walwa, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, for 'intelligent condensate classification and adaptive drainage management system for refrigeration units.'
Inventor(s) include Shubham Vishal Thite; Shreyash Arvind Mali; Shirish Shivaji Kumbhar; Yash Amol Bagade; Prachi Nalawade; Dr. Vaibhav S. Ganachari; Dr. Shailesh S. Shirguppikar; and Prof. Abid Mulla.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Intelligent Condensate Classification and Adaptive Drainage Management System for Refrigeration Units This invention describes an intelligent refrigeration drainage management system is disclosed for autonomously profiling, classifying, routing, and sterilizing condensate and defrost water generated within refrigeration units. The system performs real-time multi-parameter impurity analysis using turbidity, pH, and ionic conductivity measurements to generate a composite water quality profile. An AI-based processing unit classifies the fluid into predefined categories and actuates a dual-channel routing mechanism to selectively direct reusable water toward non-potable applications or isolate contaminated water for controlled discharge. Integrated ultraviolet sterilization and antimicrobial surface treatment suppress microbial growth within drainage pathways. A predictive analytics framework correlates impurity trends with environmental and operational variables to forecast contamination risk and issue wireless maintenance alerts. Housed within a retrofit-compatible modular cartridge, the system enables plug-and-play integration across residential, commercial, laboratory, and clinical cold storage environments, enhancing hygiene, sustainability, regulatory compliance, and preventive maintenance efficiency without altering primary refrigeration functionality."
