evaporative cooling for A/C condenser test with garden hose study

wait... isn't this the same thing newer window AC units are achieving with the lack of drainage holes and allowing condensate to pool up and be splashed/sprayed all over? I have 2 units that both have this design. They become slime mold factories quickly and have to be washed often. The larger unit (8000btu) become so annoying i just drilled a hole and no it just leaks condensate into a bucket...requiring far less cleaning..but probably also increasing energy usage.
