Air conditioning condensation can supply large quantities of high-quality distilled water. It can
be collected cost effectively and added to other water for almost any use. Condensate collection
may not be the solution to all of our water needs. Nevertheless, it is possible that vast
quantities could be collected everyday over the
hottest six months of the year if everyone was to use this practice.
If you can get to the pipe that your air conditioning condensate drains from, you can catch it and
use it for landscape irrigation, process water or cooling water. On a hot day in San Antonio,
a typical home can easily catch five to ten gallons of water. In larger office buildings or
industrial settings, the numbers can be astounding.
This paper takes an in-depth look at condensate recovery. Along with a number of actual
case studies, the paper also provides some simple calculations for determining
condensate recovery potential and feasibility. Includes table.
