Collecting condensate from large air-handling units (AHU) for on-site use is compelling, particularly in humid climates prone to drought. Identifying the optimal on-site use for the condensate requires knowledge of the quantity and quality of the condensate versus the quantity and quality required for potential on-site applications. This article provides evidence that condensate from properly maintained large AHUs is high-quality water, explains how system design and maintenance affect condensate quality, and highlights considerations for on-site applications of condensate.
