Portable air conditioners are pretty easy to set up and use: Wheel them into place, set up the window kits, and plug them in. But when it comes to operating them, people seem confused about why they collect moisture as they cool. ​ Overview: Portable ACs and Moisture Collection Portable ACs and Moisture Collection Well, portable ACs remove warm, moisturized air from your space. As the air is cooled, excess moisture is naturally removed from the air and collects inside the unit--generally into an internal pan that needs to be drained. The maintenance of emptying collected moisture, particularly in humid parts of the country, turns off some customers. Luckily, select brands use updated technology to automatically remove this moisture--so no manual draining or setting up a hose for continuous drainage. These are known are fully self-evaporating portable air conditioners (or fully self-evaporative portable ACs). Customers generally prefer fully self-evaporating units more than the traditional partially self-evaporating models because they're less maintenance and offer hassle-free operation.
