The water is coming from the water in the air, otherwise known as (relative) humidity. The 'humidity' is condensing out onto your coils and dripping off.

....which is correct operation. Perhaps the OP needs to direct this water flow into a drain, or to a point outside the building?

Dear Friend,

The atmospheric air contains Nitrogen,Oxygen, and water which cannot be seen by human eyes, since it is in the Super-Heated condition (super heated steam cannot be seen by eyes of human beings, and wet steam alone can be seen) - and DALTON's PARTIAL LAW OF PRESSURE governs the saturation temp. of the water/vapour in the mixture of the air. - and also the invisible vapour is termed as HUMIDITY, which is related to TEMPERATURE of the air.

When the air flows over the AC machine cooling coils the air gets cooled and the relative humidity of that air increases and air is tending to SATURATION TEMP. waater at that pressure.

When the temp. of air falls further, the water vapour cannot be held by air, any longer and rejected by air, which is drained.

If the RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF AIR IS HIGHER, THE WATER DRAINED WILL BE MORE and VISE-VERSA.
