The Science Behind Air Conditioner Water: Debunking Common Misconceptions

When the air conditioner (AC) runs continuously in the summer, people often look at the water coming out of it. Many people think that there is a water tank inside the AC or water is poured into it from outside. But the truth is that the water coming into the AC does not come from anywhere but it is the result of a special scientific process. Let's understand where the water comes into the AC and what is the technology behind it. There is always some amount of moisture in the air around us. Whether the weather is hot or cold, there are extremely small particles of water in the air that we cannot see with our eyes. When the AC draws the warm and moist air of the room inside, this moisture further turns into water. There is a part inside the air conditioner which is called the Evaporator Coil. This coil is very cold when the hot air from the room collides with the cold air from the condenser. It is exactly the process of keeping the cold water on the bottle.
