What's the model number. - should be able to look up on toshiba website
and find a manual or something that would explain.

The manual mentions nothing about what it's for, just that it needs to
be filled.

The schematic shows the usual fridge compressor, fan, switches and
control board so no clues there.

The water doesn't come out of the louvre on the front (The air feels
dry) and in any case the machine has a dehumidification mode.

I wondered if the water was to improve the removal of heat via the
exhaust tube?

I *think* the model number is RAC-08 (Or similar). It was made in the
early to mid nineties.

caution: wild guess approaching. Does it trickle over the hot heat
exchanger to increase exhange rate? If it did it would slowly scale it
up, so no.

Maybe its a twin cooling system, ac then evaporative. That would give
more cooling than ac alone, and the evap cooling would work well with
ac-dehumidified air.
