We are considering buying an air cooler to cool and dry our sample air stream. We are interested in the CO2 concentration of the air stream, and we are wondering how much CO2 in the air stream will dissolve in the condensed water when cooled.  Which alkalinity and pH can be assumed at the moment of condensation (tropical air far from a city)? How much CO2 will dissolve (as CO2 as well as other DIC products) until an equilibrium has been reached with the outside air?

We have an air stream of 1 L a min with ~400 ppm CO2. We calculated to have ~1 ml condensed water produced per 30 min.
