Example
The heater uses noncondensing technology, keeping the vapor in the air instead of letting it drip.
Example

Example
What makes a system noncondensing instead of condensing?
Context: "HVAC and building systems"
(adjective) noncondensing can refer to types of heating systems that don’t recover heat from exhaust gases. This means they don’t use some of the heat that could be used to warm your home.
Example
He chose a noncondensing furnace for his house because it was less expensive to install.
Example
The noncondensing boiler wasted a lot of energy compared to more efficient options.
Example
