How does an air conditioner condensation pump work?

An air conditioner condensation pump works by collecting and removing excess water that accumulates during the cooling process. When the air conditioner cools the air, moisture condenses on the evaporator coil and drips into a drain pan. The pump activates when the water level in the pan rises, using a motor to push the water through a discharge pipe to a designated drainage location. This prevents overflow and maintains efficient operation of the air conditioning system.
