  • Publication number: 20240318863
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for monitoring the conditions that contribute to condensate formation along exterior surfaces of climate control systems and components thereof located in humid unconditioned spaces. Examples also relate to determining a likelihood of condensate formation and then providing measures to reduce or prevent condensate formation in the humid unconditioned space. Some examples for determining the conditions include utilizing temperature and humidity sensors with the climate control system and components thereof located in the humid unconditioned space. Some examples include monitoring conditions of the humid unconditioned space with sensors and then estimating conditions along the exterior component surfaces using calculations. Based on the conditions of the climate control system and of the unconditioned space the climate control system may operate with adjusted minimum settings to reduce the likelihood of condensate formation.
