Airconditioner water drip
Howdy,
I have a airconditioner question for the 2013 Ford Ecoboost guys. While driving your tuck with the A/C on, does your truck's A/C system drip water after you park your truck? It's my understanding that the water drip is condensation from the condensor on the A/C system.
The reason I ask is because my 2013 truck does NOT drip water after driving 30 miles with the A/C running.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

It is normal to drip, however, it is somewhat dependent upon the humidity and amount of time the A/C is on.

I have noticed a lack of condensation drip on my 2014 Lariat. I am thinking that the condensation is flowing elsewhere on the truck or pooling and evaporating. I wouldn't be overly worried about the lack of condensation as long as the a/c is working

Whats the dew point?, or what is your humidity outside? if the air is dry less than 40% humidity and it's 90 degrees out the dew point would be 44, which means no sweat unless your a/c temp is lower than the dew point. That's why on a cold night you have moisture on your truck, the air was colder than the dew point. If the drain is plugged the passenger floor would be wet and you would smell the condensation when the air is on. All relative.

Yea r-22 was a much better freon, the 134A doesn't cool that well especially at idle. It runs higher pressure's and the charge has to be dead on. An ounce to much or less makes a huge difference, plus they operate at double what R-22 did they leak all the time, they just cant seal the front of the compressor. I say we bring R-22 back since the hole in the ozone layer is fixed and now were getting to much heat reflecting back, lets go back to the 70's and 80's bring back CFC's and we will put a hole back in and let the heat out, Al Gore ain't the only one who can get rich off this climate change BS.

Well mines been dripping now. might be relative to the humidity and dew points and such. we have been having a larger difference in temps from day to night now in north central alberta so that could explain it.

If you have a veh. thats not dripping when others are, check your evaporator drain to see if its plugged, and check your pass. side carpet and underlayment for wetness. My '05 had the fairly common wet floor and was fixed with a 90 deg. rubber elbow. Catch it before it starts to stink or rust. Also max A/C mode (recirculating) will drip much less than fresh air mode.
