In a house air conditioner, temperature difference causing condensation. Check for insulation coming loose on duct work. Also make sure condensation drain is open on the inside part of the unit. Keep the outside air separate from the inside air. Check for air leaks at home and don't leave the doors open.
On a car, sometimes the condensation drain, which is usually on the passenger, and engine side of the firewall, gets stopped up. When it does, the moisture that normally runs out of it stays in the dash vents. I have had one that did this really bad. Then mold or mildew grows and is kinda chunky and won't flow out the pipe. The pipe is usually pinched flat at the bottom to keep the ac from sucking hot air from the engine compartment. Open the pipe by squeezing it a little, then use a stick, wire, or whatever to punch up inside and see if you can get water to flow. Then, I used a light mixture of phosphoric acid to kill the growth and now all is fine. Just get some acid for cleaning tile grout, or naval jelly, and dilute it until is light pink. Should fix your problem.

Do you have to vent a portable air conditioner when it heats?
According to portable air conditioning suppliers, Mobile Air, all air conditioners have to be vented. But, there are different ways to "vent" the heat. The first way to vent is using water-cooled air conditioners. This type of unit uses water to cool the heat generated and requires a water source and drain. Mobile Air's website, , states that water cooled AC is required if the ambient temperature exceeds 115 degrees F. The second way to vent the heat produced is by using air. Air venting is done by using duct work to vent the hot air outside or by placing the unit outside to vent right into the air. This type is a bit more portable than water cooled.

How do you get air out of hot water system?
Any propperly installed hot water heating system will have a high point vent. This consists of some sort of valve at the highest elevation of the entire system. Since air is lighter than water air will collect at the vent point. When the system is under pressure partially open this vent to allow air to escape. When water comes out the vent close it. This may have to be repeated several times to get all of the air out of the system.Open the hot water tap on the sink farthest from the water heater. Be sure the supply valve on the water heater is fully open.
