There are lots of evaporator coils that are interchangeable with various compressors, just match up your hp and lp pipe sizes and don't exceed the rating of the condensor. Judging by the amps it looks like its a 18-24k btu condensor, definantly chinese. I think your better off finding something with a seer value and a brand name....this is gonna end up costing u more then its worth.

hi I am an A/C guy . that looks like an older Mitsubishi condenser. I actually have a head for that unit. if you can get the model number off the condenser I can get more information on it.

Look closer, that's no mitsubishi.....maybe a misterbishi.
why you say that. About five six years ago that's exactly what they look like. also the LRA and RLA are low and close which tells me that it has a high quality inverted compressor. they really don't make knock offs because they are all Japanese units and Chinese.

Mitsubishi would use the authentic "CE" certification along with ul and CSA plus the refridgerant specs, they wouldn't use the CE (Chinese export) logo that is made to look like the CE european certificaton stamp.

Ummm pretty sure there are not lots of interchangeable heads for ductless. Is there a bar code anywhere that you can search? SEER ratings translate into minimal savings for ductless, 1 SEER is like $5 a month in the real world. What I don't get is the locked rotor should be like 40a :(.

Basic evap coils will work with basic cons. Look into it.
It's not a basic condenser, it's a ductless lol. Please tell me how you can mix an indoor head of one manufacturer to another's outdoor unit? Been doing this for 30 years and never seen it done. Pretty sure the control boards would not match re communication between the two, but I've been wrong before. Are you thinking conventional condensers and not splits?

I think BT is correct, doubt it is a mits or it would probably say that. It's a generic one I think, climette, or some other non branded unit.

I know its a condensor for a ductless lol. As long as you size up your evap/air handler properly you can use any brand that matches. Check the schematics, not much to it. Done it before and they sell new units like this to.
