Hi DAox , i have been collecting the parts over the last couple of years as we started to plan the house build. The blue steel base and compressor come from an old dairy farm milk cooler, one pump comes from a supermarket sea food case and other from an old radiator heating system and so on.

The VSD had an earth fault and was thrown out , i fixed that and it works great . It gives me alot of information , kw/h , run hours, running amps , running kw, a start delay and a soft start plus of course the variable speed and load output. I have it connected to a high pressure transducer so it runs at 55hz for the start of heating and as it nears setpoint it will slow down to 40hz , this prevents the condenser approach temp from increasing to much and helps efficiency.

I must get to work ,
Thanks Andy
