In general, you need at least a 20 degree F differential between the dew point and the coil temp in order to get latent moisture out of the air. Otherwise you just swirl around steamy air now saturated with water vapor.

Thanks for the info. I think when I tested things my heat exchanger water input temp was 60F and output was 70F. Ambient was 81F and humid (didn't record humidity unfortunately). With this, I was getting condensation on my crude setup. Cooling capacity was pretty low at ~3500 BTU though.
