I wonder if the overflow pipe from the pan under your unit is hooked up properly? We once had an intermittent problem that turned out to be a plugged pipe--it rained in our bedroom.
I. Hope so because my window conditioner use to drip but recently has stopped dripping but most likely it is not good if the unit does not drip.
Most window ac units have the compressor outside and the waste water simply drips off to the ground. Some have an optional tube so that the drip can be diverted to the garden or to the storm sewer. In some places you are supposed to have the tube send the drip water into a sand and gravel drip well.
Check for the drain hose or pipe in your unit so that it is not clogged. Through the ac process water is collected and thus needs to come out. If the drain is clogged water will be trapped and the blower will pick it up and send it through the vents.
The air conditioner drips condensation inside the unit. There is a drip pan inside the unit that catches this water, the water then drains to the back of the unit which is a compartment that houses a fan and a condenser coil. The fan slings this water on the condenser coil which helps to condense and cool the refrigerant.
There isn't a direct correlation between the tonnage of the outside unit and the number of vents it can handle. The number of vents a system can handle is more dependent on the size of the ductwork and the layout of the home. It's best to consult with a professional HVAC technician to determine the appropriate size unit for your specific needs.
the middle vents only supply air from the ac unit using a separate in dash fan. the floor and defrost vents come only from the heater
Does not matter. Air will displace naturally when pushed into a room from the vent. Vents and ducting are laid out according to the plans of the unit. That is the only reason for top vents and bottom vents. If you are speaking of the intakes, the same principal applies.
if your window unit is setting too level, the water can not escape. proper setting of a window unit would be at a SLIGHT tilt so the water can run to the back (outside) of the unit and drain outside. If the water lays in the pan of the unit it will eventually rust through the drip pan and the blower can bow water back into your room. Hope this helped.

leaking ducts allowing air into system.
Smokers are designed with vents on both the top and bottom of the smoker unit. Typically, the bottom vents are used to fan or fuel the flame inside. Adjusting the bottom vent either flames your fire or smolders it. The top vents are the ones that are typically used to control the heat inside the smoker. The more you open the vents, the more heat will escape out. The tighter you keep them closed, the more the heat will remain inside the smoking unit.
Sounds like: 1. The "drip pipe" (condensate drain) is blocked, or 2. The chiller unit is not working - because chilled air gives up its humidity, "dripping" (condensation) is a sign that the chiller unit is actually chilling the air and producing water - the "drips".
