Abstract
An outdoor unit for a climate management system includes a housing and a coil disposed within the housing. The coil includes a first coil portion of the coil, a second coil portion of the coil, and a bend in the coil between the first coil portion and the second coil portion that forms an acute angle between the first coil portion and the second coil portion. The outdoor unit also includes a variable speed drive disposed between the housing and a housing-facing side of the second coil portion.
