Most A-coils have condenstate traps designed
*deliberately* for this.  Unless you operate an AC
in a completely *dry* environment, the AC *will*
remove water from the air during its normal
operation.  That water has to go someplace.
So, the A-coil has provisions to route it out
of the HVAC system.  It either drains into a
sump, out a hole in the wall, or is pumped up
and out.
