Why is vapor coming out of my AC?
You will see fog or steam coming out of your A/C vents when the cold, dry air comes in contact with the warm, moist air near the air conditioner. This usually happens in the summer when the weather is warm and humid. Having a dirty air filter is the most common cause of high humidity inside the system.
Do you need to replace Freon in portable air conditioner?

Why is my portable AC producing so much water?
A portable air conditioner can fill with water quickly due to high humidity, dirty air filters, or clogged drain hose.

Why is there steam coming from under my hood?
If you see steam-like vapor escaping from the tailpipe, there’s no need to be concerned. Water vapor coming from the tailpipe is completely normal and is a result of condensation building within the exhaust system. Though there may be a slow drip of water from the tailpipe, the steam is quickly dispelled into the air.
Can I put Freon in my portable air conditioner?
Do portable air conditioners use freon? Short version : they all use a refrigerant which should not leak. A portable air conditioning unit uses a refrigerant to cool the air in your room and exhaust hot air to the outside. From the evaporator coils, the vaporized Freon flows to the compressor where it is compressed.
