Re: wall a/c: as unit dehimidifies, on new units, what happens to the water? How to check for proper drainage?

On newer models, the condensate water collects in the back of the unit near the condensing coil. The fan picks up some of the water and sprays it against the condensing coil, cooling off the coil and hastening the evaporation of the condensed water. Excess water is drained off via a drain in the rear of the pan.
