The condensate off the evaporator coil in a room air conditioner is generally disposed of by ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensate off the evaporator coil is collected by the slinger system of the fan and is thrown onto the outdoor condenser coil. This helps in cooling down the condenser coil and also improves the overall efficiency of the air conditioner. Draining the condensate to the outside soil or a storm drain can lead to environmental contamination, while draining to a holding tank requires frequent maintenance and is not the most practical solution.
