Abstract
A blower and heat exchanger component of a heat pump, includes physically moveable interface blocks located at the corners. The blocks are relocatable to different corner locations on the unit, to allow a same blower/heat exchanger component to adapt to an existing duct being located on either side (e.g., by installing the component rotated within the installation space as appropriate). Active interface block(s) moveable to different corners afford access to power connection and/or data connections and status display features. Blank blocks occupy the corner locations left vacant by relocation of active blocks to the side of the unit serving as the front for a particular installation. The moveable corner blocks afford access to the unit for power and data connection, and status display, irrespective of orientation as installed relative to an existing ducting layout of a building.
