Air Conditioner

not only that....

but it depends whether you have it on recyle or fresh, as you get a lot more water from the fresh air cycle than when you recyle the cabin air..

so maybe alot of people have it on recyled

DAVID,
I may stand correcting but I was under the impression that distilled water should not come into contact with any metal or it defeats the purpose. The condensor coil under the dash is either copper/ brass or aluminium and the moisture evaporates from contact with the cold coil and then runs out.
Cheers.

I do not know either, I would have just thought that distilled water had no chemicals or minerals in it. I could not understand how coming into contact with metal would matter. Maybe it does let's see if someone can answer this.Regards

In regards to fresh/recirc option on air-conditioners, and I also notice Wayne did use his air-con on fresh alot. Because you are constantly sucking in fresh air, it will always have humidity in it. But if it's on recirc, the humidity in the cabin eventually drops and little water is left to condensate. One word of warning though on using recirc all the time, dangerous levels of carbon dioxide can build up from your own breathing and cause fatigue. Most modern cars don't fully recirculate the air even if the switch is on recirc, they always have a little fresh air coming in becuase of this reason.
