What are the primary sources of condensate in HVAC systems?

The primary sources of condensate in HVAC systems are air handling units (AHUs), fan coils, and rooftop units. These components use refrigeration to cool the air, resulting in the condensation of water vapor from the air into liquid form. Additionally, condensate can also be generated from evaporative cooling systems, humidifiers, and other equipment that introduce moisture into the air stream.
