I am looking for a formula to convert Latent Heat Load in btuh in cooling applications to volume of Condensate Waste water.

To condense 1 lb of water at 14.7# (Atmospheric pressure)takes about 970BTU/lb
 
You may add 1 btu/lb for every degree farenheit the condensate is being further cooled.
 
Get out you psych chart. Look up the value of "pounds of water per pound of dry air" (or metric equivalent if you are metrically inclined) for the air conditions entering and leaving the coil.

The difference is you answer on a mass basis. Convert to the unit of volume of your choice.
