Parking in front of an air-to-water heat pump - problems?

Hello,

we have a SPLIT heat pump and the outdoor unit is located at a corner of the house about 5m from the street. Adjacent to the corner of the house, a double garage is attached. The outdoor areas, paving, etc. have not been done yet. Now I am considering making the driveway to the garage wider so that parking in front of the outdoor unit would also be possible (small car).

Are there any opinions or experiences regarding this? Since the fan already moves a considerable amount of air, I could imagine that this might be rather disadvantageous for seals etc. due to temperature fluctuations, dry/cold air, and so on.

How far away is the car actually from the outdoor unit, in principle there are minimum distances specified by the heat pump manufacturer that must be observed regardless of whether there is a wall or a car there. There are surely warning notices from the manufacturer. Depending on which side of the car is parked and the air flow direction of the heat pump, I am just throwing out icing, icing on the car, depending on the drainage of the condensate, icy pavement in front of the car? You might slip and fall or have to scrape the windows, etc.?

The car would certainly park up to just before the heat pump, as there is only about 4.5m of space here.

Do you fall on your face or have to scrape ice off windows, etc?

Please with webcam! Parking where the fresh air is drawn in could even increase efficiency with a warm car, although it does not improve the air quality. I would not place an air polluter next to the system. An electric vehicle, however, yes.

The concerns are practically unfounded in our regions. Neither the car nor the heat pump experiences any disadvantages as a result.
