Abstract: A tray for an HVAC controller includes a tray base, a first mounting tab secured to the tray base and configured to interlock with a corresponding mount of a cabinet of an indoor unit of an HVAC system, a mounting bracket secured to the tray base and comprising an aperture for receiving a mounting screw therethrough, a drip wall that extends up from the tray base, and a cover extending up from the tray base that includes a wall and a top plate. The cover is positioned to protect a component of the HVAC controller from impact when the HVAC controller is installed in the tray.

Abstract: A reversing valve comprising a valve body having an internal cavity therein and an input port, output port and first and second reversing ports. A baffle is located within the internal cavity and is configured to rotate around a pivot point within the internal cavity. At least one electromagnet is coupled to the valve body. The electromagnet is configured to cause the baffle to rotate in one of the clockwise direction or counter-clock wise direction when a voltage is applied to the electromagnet.

Abstract: In various implementations, a fan system may include a housing and a fan. The fan may reside in an orifice of the housing. The fan system may include a grate disposed proximate a top surface and an ice deflector. The ice deflector may inhibit ice formation on portions of the housing, orifice, and/or fan residing in the orifice.
