Best Answer

Most window ac units have the compressor outside and the waste water simply drips off to the ground. Some have an optional tube so that the drip can be diverted to the garden or to the storm sewer. In some places you are supposed to have the tube send the drip water into a sand and gravel drip well.

Your window air conditioner has a chemical smell what is it?

The most common odor problem from a window ac unit is that there is a buildup over time in the drip pan. The pan collects condensation and allows it to drain through a hole in the ac unit. Over time the pan will collect dirt and other particles, and can develop mold. With the ac unit unplugged the cover will need to be removed, and the pan scraped out and washed.

It will not work, the ac unit needs to blow the heat removed from indoors to outdoors. Running a window ac unit without venting it outside will make the room hotter.
