Where is the drainage outlet of the car air conditioner located?

The drainage outlet of the car air conditioner is designed at the lowest point below the condenser in the cabin. The exact location varies depending on the car model, but generally, you can find the drainage outlet by locating the condenser inside the cabin. The purpose of the air conditioner drainage outlet is to allow the water condensed from the surrounding air during the heat exchange process in the evaporator to be discharged. This is why you may notice a puddle of water under the car after the air conditioner has been running for a while. During the cooling process, the car air conditioner produces condensed water, and the drainage pipe for this water is located underneath the chassis. During the rainy season, mud and standing water can clog the drainage hole, leading to water backing up into the car and causing water accumulation on the floor, similar to the consequences of a blocked engine compartment drainage hole.
