Dutch term or phrase: condenswaterwisselklimaat

I'm at a loss of how to make a proper English phrase out of this typically long word in Dutch. I obviously know what each part of this word means,but can't seem to find a good English version.

Not much context to offer, but it's part of a series of tests (compliance with requirements, etc.).
