Why does my air conditioner have fog coming out the vents?

Why does my air conditioner have fog coming out the vents?

If the air temperature near the unit is below Dew Point, this causes water vapor to form in the air and condense into water droplets causing the fog or smoke. A dirty filter or low fan speed may aggravate the condition. These conditions reduce airflow causing more or slower exposure of the cold air to the moist air.

Why is white smoke coming out of my a / C vents?

White odorless smoke coming out of A/C vents. This is the second time this has happened.

Why is there fog coming out of my air conditioner vents?

Fog or smoke coming out the air vents is caused by cold dry air coming in contact with warmer, more moist air near the air conditioner. If the air temperature near the unit is below Dew Point, this causes water vapor to form in the air and condense into water droplets causing the fog or smoke.

What makes white vapor come out of vents?

I have noticed a “vapor” coming out of the vents when the AC is on. What is causing this? I have noticed a white vapor coming out of the vents when the AC is…

Why is my a / C blowing out white smoke?

When the cold air hits the warm air, white smoke or fog can develop. If the unit’s temperature is below its dew point, water vapor and moisture are formed. Then, they condense in the air as water droplets producing the smoke or fog.

What causes fog to appear in the cabin?

Dew and fog appear when air temperature is lowered below its dew point (see further down). In your case, before air conditioning is started the cabin is filled with air from the outside, which happens to be warm and nearly saturated in water vapor. The ambient temperature is close to the dew point.
