When the air conditioner operates in Cooling mode, it is not necessary to have continuous condensate drainage; only in particular climatic conditions in which the air humidity rate is very high can water deposit inside the unit. In Heating the condensate is not vaporised automatically, it will therefore be necessary to empty the tank.
