Re: Excess water prodution in portable 14000 BTU unit. ...
All a/c units remove moisture from air with cooling coil being cold and room air blowing across coil - depends how humid it is - i have used several different portable units and this seems to be a common problem if it is humid

they are not filled with water thats the condensation that it is making, its all good, keep the temp at a steady rate, when you get it ice cold then shut her down it makes moisture which then is water.
I've repaired a lot of window units because someone has drilled a hole in the pan, to drain water, and hit the coil. Please do not drill any holes in anything! These units utilize condensate water to help reject the heat in the outdoor coil. If water is reaching the outdoor fan, it either does not have the proper "lean" or slope, or it's designed to allow water to reach the fan, and not much you can do. If it is designed to allow water to cool the outdoor coil, and you were to drain that water so that no condensate water cools the outdoor coil, this will allow the unit to operate with an excessive outdoor coil temp, and shorten the life of the compressor, or cause the unit to operate poorly/warm supply air temp. Try to give it just a little more "lean". Hope this helps!
That is normal for a portable a/c unit if it has a drain on it you can put it on a shelf or counter and allow it to drain to a floor drain or sink. some newer units come with a pump to remove the condensate, this is the water you normaly see driping out of the a/c units in windows
