The condenser will be placed indoors so I don't have any water outdoors and I will pressure test it with nitro to 400psi so there should be no possibility of a leak indoors. The Evap (on the left of the pic) is connected to a pump and then to a big air coil which will also have a solar thermal input. This will heat up the 1000L open tank shown in another post.
That is a beautiful job you did with that. Can I ask, Is that a receiver in the middle and what are the 4 small components on the left? Check valves? I'm curious how this project is going. Good work!
