How to calculate condensate production
This calculator estimates condensate production from an HVAC system by multiplying relevant load and humidity factors — useful for sizing condensate drain lines and pumps.
How the calculation works
Condensate production = Cooling load factor × Humidity/moisture factor (specific formula depends on your reference method).
Example
A base condensate rate of 2 gallons/hour with a 1.3 humidity adjustment factor for high-humidity conditions: Condensate production = 2 × 1.3 = 2.6 gallons/hour.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Condensate Production
- Condensate production varies significantly with indoor humidity and cooling load — size drain lines and pumps for peak, not average, conditions.
- Check manufacturer specs for your specific equipment's typical condensate output rather than relying solely on a generic estimate.
Common Condensate Production Mistakes to Avoid
- Sizing condensate drainage for average conditions rather than peak humidity/load conditions, risking overflow during the most demanding periods.
