Low Ambient Temperature.
The mechanical refrigeration system used in air conditioning equipment is design to work when the outdoor temperature is above 65°F. If the AC runs when the temperature is too low will cause the evaporator coil to drop in temperature and freeze over. BigBOB
my copper lines freezing on central air unit.
More importantly, why is the unit freezing? There are several reasons that can cause this. Most common are dirty filter or evaporator coil that the filter protects. It can also be lack of air flow across the evaporator coil due to a bad fan motor or broken fan belt if so equipped. Last reason might be the unit is low on refrigerant which would mean that you have a leak somewhere.
Inside the unit under the evaporator coil. The condensate drain line is attached to it.
Inside the air handler. The evaporator is also commonly referred to as the a-coil.
The evaporator coil is probably freezing up which will restrict airflow.
A split air conditioner is a unit where the condensing unit is outside and the evaporator is inside.
Because it's pumping freon through the pipe and its freezing cold
to evaporate the refrigerant
Central unit used with a chiller system or individual units with a evaporator and condenser instead that wall units.
A window a/c is a self-contained unit. The condensor, evaporator and compressor are all in the unit. A split system is the common central air unit you see on most homes. The evaporator coil is located at the furnace withe the system fan, while the compressor and condensing coil are outside the house. This is a simple explaination, but I .
This is water that has condensed out of the room air on the evaporator coils of the air conditioner, and it is completely normal. If the humidity is high, one will see more water condensing and dripping from the air conditioner than when the room air is dry.
