Abstract
The study examines the correlation between the mass flow rate of condensate and independent variables including the initial dry bulb temperature of the room being cooled, the relative humidity of the space, the tonnes per hour of the MAH120R0 HVAC unit, and the speed of the fan. This paper develops a regression model and creates an equation to link these independent variables to predict the mass flow rate of condensate. Through this, the research examines potential uses for this condensate through policies. By using figures, it emphasises the urgency of water conservation policies to be implemented. The paper pinpoints the volume of potential condensate that is being discarded and advises policies on how to save the water. The study shows how, through the experimental results, the average condensate generated by a MAH120R0 unit is enough to supply the water needs of a human being for more than 4 years. The positive potential for condensate extraction is viewed, and this study aims to portray this in a manner to encourage change in terms of reusing water.
