Why Do Some Airconditioners Drip And Others Don’t ?

all air conditioners condensate as a result of hot air blowing thru the cold cooling coils. some like the new ones called ” Drip Free”
units uses special condenser fans with scooped blades that scoopes the condensate water and toss it to the hot condenser coil thus cooling it and evaporating the excess water so it wont drip as the name implies. Other without this provision simply drips the water down a tiny hole at the base of the unit.

It depends on the design of the unit. Many a/c’s have a condenser loop ( tubing from the condenser side of the system) laying in the bottom tray of the unit and allow the condensed water to build up and cover the tubing to assist in cooling the hot refrigerant circulating inside the tubing. They also have a depression in the tray(sump) that the condenser fan blade that has a ring fastened to the ends of the fins(slinger ring) dips into as the fan spins causing a fine mist to spray through the condenser coils assisting the cooling of the coils. These units usually do not drip unless the humidity is high and there is more water than can be sprayed onto the condenser
The dripping is usually directly related to the humidity in the air.
If your drip is on the inside then it is probably your condensate drain. You can blow it out to clear your drain and drop a chlorine tablet (available in pool supply stores) into the pan to keep it clear.
If the condensate is coming off your lines you can buy a foam insulation that wraps around the line.
yeah i think condensationn but like i don’t know i am not that smart but mine leaks once in a while
Actally if the air in the room has too much moisture any airconditioner is supposed to reduce the moisture and the water has to go somewhere… usually a small tube is attached to the unit to carry water away…. it shouldn’t drip.
Sometimes the condensation takes place on the exposed pipes and this can drip.
They all produce condensation, the good ones just don’t drip.
Some use the condensation to help cool the unit and they don’t have a drain hole.
I’m assuming you’re talking about window units.
first off how old is the ac they all should drip to get rid of the moinster on the in side if u have one that doesn’t try putting a greater angle on it because if u don’t then it won’t cool as well as it should
some airconditioners utilizes some heat absorbed by drying out the condensate as compared to the old models that provides a drain cap for the purpose.
