Well I got my heat pump project parts gathered up, but now I've run into an odd but not dire problem, there are simply to many options on how to arrange the parts!

So I was wondering if any have some good clear pics of the insides of a water cooled A/C condensing unit?

Hope fully will help give me new ideas of how to arrange my parts! Thanks in advance!

Not sure what you mean by heat pump / water cooled cond unit, what are you trying to achieve.

I guess he's building a heat pump on ground water. But I could be wrong!

either or, doesn't matter, I just need some pics of the water cooled units guts, I can't think of a good way to place them out of all the options!

The compressor goes before the condenser.:p

What are you trying to do?

I'm just trying to think of a nice way to arrange the parts to be portable and compact, but I want to see how other systems are put together to help give ideas/inspire.

I'm stuck in a mental paradox right now, too many options yet no ideas!

Try thinking in terms of the maximum space you want it to occupy and the minimum space available for servicing the unit or components.

Also consider the weight placement of the components. If one side is heavier than the opposite side, the weight distribution will be awkward.

Think like a service tech. That means more than looking at packages designed by someone who doesn't have to work on it.
