Summary:A laundry appliance (12) includes a blower (22) that directs process air (24) along an airflow path (20). An evaporator (34) dehumidifies the process air (24) and removes condensate (36) from the process air (24). A heat exchange plate (190) is disposed within the airflow path (20) and supports the evaporator (34) from below and within the airflow path (20). The heat exchange plate (190) receives the condensate (36) from the process air (24). A sloped area (210) of the heat exchange plate (190) directs the condensate (36) downward and along the heat exchange plate (190) to a condensate drain (230), wherein the sloped area (210) includes a directing surface (218) that blocks the process air (24) from pushing the condensate (36) upward and away from the condensate drain (230).
