Here is another picture of my Cold Trap machine giving you a more "bird's eye" view of the compressor, air-cooled condenser, fan, and the modifications I made (bullet style liquid line dryer, suction and discharge access fittings). This also shows the corrected position of the suction access fitting, which fixed a small boo boo I made on the initial build (I accidentally had it pointing towards the front which you can see is occupied by the electrical box).
As part of the modifications, it is also necessary to cut the rear motor shaft and remove both the evaporator fan and evap (these were originally inside the Styrofoam box). Actually the evap is another bonus which could be used as an air-cooled condenser for some other project.
