The condensed water drains from the AC system due to the cooling process that occurs when warm air passes over the evaporator coils. As the refrigerant inside the coils absorbs heat, it cools the air, causing moisture in the air to condense into water droplets. These droplets collect and are directed to a drain pan, where gravity causes them to flow out through a drain line, preventing overflow and maintaining efficiency.

Why does your ac PVC drain pipe blows out cold air?
That drain pipe is meant to remove condensed water from the chmber where the air is blown through the system, if there is air coming through there it just means there is no water in the line that has condensed. many units turn the drain tube upward slightly so a little water always stays in the pipe pereventing the escape of cold air. It works like a P trap on your sink.
What causes condensation in a ac unit?
As the unit cools the Air, the air is less able to hold moisture. This excess moisture is Condensed into liquid water on the cooling coils (Condenser Unit). A drain pan is required to catch the dripping water and channel it away.
How is condensed water from an air conditioner collected and disposed of?
Condensed water from an air conditioner is collected in a drip pan or tray located underneath the unit. This water is then drained through a pipe or hose to a designated area, such as a drain or outside through a condensate pump.
What force causes water to go down the drain?
gravity force
Where does condensed water fall from?
Condensed water falls as rain from the clouds.
Where does condensed water fall?
Condensed water falls as rain from the clouds.
Should a condensate pump have water in it?
Yes, a condensate pump should have water in it to effectively pump out the condensed water from an HVAC system.
What is the purpose of a condensate drain trap in an HVAC system?
The purpose of a condensate drain trap in an HVAC system is to prevent air from escaping or entering the system while allowing water to drain out.
What causes standing water in your sink?
Standing water is caused by the drain being plugged up.
What is the purpose of a drain tailpiece in a plumbing system?
The purpose of a drain tailpiece in a plumbing system is to connect the sink drain to the P-trap, allowing water and waste to flow out of the sink and into the sewer system.
Why do you have to have water in your system?
You would assume a water system to have water in it, however during the winter in freezing climates it is standard operating procedure to drain the system of water... thus the answer is No you do not have to have water in your system.
How to properly drain a water softener system?
To properly drain a water softener system, first turn off the power and water supply. Locate the drain valve and attach a hose to it. Open the valve and let the water drain completely. Once drained, close the valve and remove the hose. Finally, turn the power and water supply back on.
