Sporadically, you may notice that your cooling system appears to be “dripping with sweat.” This is not literally the case; that would be rather horrifying.
- Instead, condensation is forming on the device housing or the other components.
One thing to remember is that cooling systems work by removing heat plus humidity from the air. Warm, humid air coming into contact with the chilly surfaces of the cooling system will naturally cause condensation to form, much like beads of water form on the outside of a chilly glass of liquid. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that condensation forming is completely normal plus not cause for concern, but condensation forming on the components of your Heating plus Air Conditioning system may point to excessively humid air, which means that your Heating plus Air Conditioning system might not be doing a acceptable enough task of removing the humidity from the air in your home. Another reason that condensation might be forming on your Heating plus Air Conditioning system is that it does not have acceptable insulation, then refrigerants running through the lines, for example, need to be respectfully insulated or the stark difference in temperature between the refrigerant plus the surrounding air will cause condensation. Another really usual reason that condensation might be forming is a dirty air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow plus cause the evaporator coil to get too cold. Yet another reason why condensation might be forming is that your Heating plus Air Conditioning device is too pressing for your house. When an Heating plus Air Conditioning device is too pressing for the home that it provides heating plus cooling to, it might cycle on plus off too abruptly, which does not provide the cooling system enough time to remove the moisture in the air, thus causing excessive humidity in the home.
