Huh? The entire outside unit is called the condensing unit. It consists of a heat transfer coil, the cooling fan, and the compresser. When in the cooling mode, the refrigerant is piped through the coil and the fan moves air across the coil to remove heat from the refrigerant. I don't know what blanket you are referring to. But, I don't think it makes sense to shade the condensing unit. It will have minimal effect on the unit's efficiency.
