Hello, I can't get the condensation under control. For our ventilation system, the pipes go through the utility room wall into the garage and from there through the wall to the outside. We have a double outlet side by side. Condensate always forms on the exhaust attachment, see pictures.
Half a liter accumulates very quickly, which then collects in the pipe. I only noticed it when it dripped in the garage (where the pipe meets the exterior wall).
At first, I thought it was rainwater because there was so much water in the pipe. During a test, water also ran into the pipe when I poured water over the cover from above. Therefore, I screwed a sheet metal piece over it. The sheet metal extends outward so that no driving rain can enter anymore. I have also already screwed the cover itself at an angle so that most of the water runs out at the front. Inside the cover, I placed a thin silicone cord to prevent water from running back.
Of course, I have already had the manufacturer here. They had never seen anything like it.
No condensation forms on the pipe itself; it is always dry when I check it. It is the attachment that forms the condensate.
What are your ideas? Different attachment? Do you know anything about this? The system is from Vallox.
