Some, especially newer units are designed to evaporate most of the condensate (water). That being said many will still drip water depending on the humidity (high) outside and also inside. And it be perfectly normal.
Are you in the industry, 'cause that doesn’t ring true to me. Why would you spend the energy to evaporate water when it’s so cheap and easy to dump the water on the petunia patch?
Refrigerators collect waste water in a tray on the assumption that the indoor climate will be dry enough for the water to ambient evaporate
Air con is incredibly popular in the tropics where it’s dropping 100% RH to 30% and making a lot of water
Yes 15 years, because it saves energy by making the system more efficient.
Window units design the fan to throw the water onto the condenser this evaporates the water AND cools the freon in the condenser coil. Commercial stand up refrigerators often run the condenser line through the condensate pan for the same reason.
They don’t “spend” energy doing it, they save it.
Split units and traditional A/C will just drain or pump the water somewhere.
My mother’s garden was watered with rain water. We don’t have acid rain so there’s nearly nothing in that and that garden is quite productive. Plants get all the nutrients they need from well fertilized dirt
Normally the cold is carried by the gas to your room. The less gas you have, the less efficient this transfer is, and the colder your outside unit will be.
Water dripping means the cold side coil is cold enough to condense water out of the air. In what way does that suggest it is not working?

Thanks, that is pretty neat
Also, don’t use evaporated water for your flowers; there are no minerals in pure water and for them it’s like eating wallpaper paste
So tap water is also bad? That has no minerals to speak of, at least where I live
Tap water is fine, it definitely has plenty of minerals and elements in it for your plants.
Evaporated water is pure H2O like distilled water. Same with water from your tumble dryer if you have a condenser type. Not good for plants

When the cold side is for inside air, I think you’ll find that the water it condenses from the inside air is piped outside
