Actually I had a condenser years ago which sprayed water on the coils.

Nothing but trouble and rust! (Water lines get things growing in them and
clog, needs frequent maintenance, etc.) It would stop working about 3 times
a year due to these problems. Had to clean it out.

Also I have a window air conditioner which sprays the water formed onto the
coils (fan blade does this). Well some parts were starting to rust, so I
drilled a hole in the bottom to drain the water stop the spraying. Also was
a breeding ground for bacteria and insects.

This idea would be OK if everything (including all screws) were made of
stainless steel. But that is not the case.

I think my central A/C spends 99% of its energy dehumidifying the
house. The water just goes to water the shrub planted next to the
compressor outside. Why couldn't it at least be sprayed on the
condensor coils?
