Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled. Water vapor from air which naturally condenses on cold surfaces into liquid water is called dew. Water vapor will only condense onto another surface when that surface is cooler than the temperature of the water vapor, or when the water vapor equilibrium in air, i. e. saturation humidity, has been exceeded. When water vapor condenses onto a surface, a net warming occurs on that surface.

What causes ac flex ducts to fill with water?

AC flex ducts can fill with water due to condensation forming on the duct surface from temperature differences between the cold air inside the duct and the warmer air outside. Poor installation, insulation gaps, or clogs in the ductwork can exacerbate condensation issues. Additionally, high humidity levels or improper drainage can contribute to water accumulation in the ducts.

What are the types of air duct?

There are three main types of air ducts: sheet metal, pre-insulated, and flexible duct work. Sheet metal air ducts can be made of galvanized steel or aluminum, and may be insulated inside or outside with fiberglass. There are pre-insulated air ducts, which are relatively inexpensive to install, made of fiberglass duct board, polyurethane foam panels, or phenolic foam panels. Air ducts can also be flexible ducts, made of flexible plastic over a wire coil.
