Is there a formula to figure out the depth of condensate traps?

    The formula:

    f(x) = (integral)(0-inf) ( a(y) cos yx + b(y) sin yx ) dy

    a(y) = 1/PI (integral)(-inf-&gtinf) f(t) cos ty dt

    b(y) = 1/PI (integral)(-inf-&gtinf) f(t) sin ty dt

    f(x) = 1/PI (integral)(0-inf) dy (integral)(-inf-&thinf)f(t) cos (y(x-t)) dt

    Or, you can just do what I do and make the trap depth equal to the total static pressure of the air handling unit plus one inch.
