Inlet and exhaust vents

[JackofAll]

May have a problem in that the inlet and exhaust will be quite close to the ASHP, moreso the exhaust.  The plan is to bring the vents out through the soffitt board but the ASHP will be under the exhaust vent. Any issues with this?

I don’t see why, if anything the exhaust air will be above ambient temps which will help the ASHP but the ASHP fan will disburse air greatly plus the amount of air from the exhaust is minimal compared to the air circulated through the ASHP.

Thanks @joe90

On another note, according to the drawing bpc provided re. Diffuser location, we're supposed to have one close to the sink. But we have a false hip due to vaulted ceiling and have no access to that part of the roof from the attic. The same at the living room end of the kitchen. I can get a Plenum halfway up the slope, but the autism in me will be looking at vents out of alignment, any ideas?

Well you can only put them where you have access, generally they go at a point furthest from the door (to ensure air circulation) but I am sure it won’t make a massive difference
