Description
The Heatcraft Refrigeration 24712701 Tubular Defrost Heater 230V is an electric heating element developed to remove frost and ice buildup from evaporator coil during scheduled defrost cycles. When energized the tubular element converts electrical energy into heat warming the coil surface to melt accumulated ice and restore unrestricted airflow across the heat exchanger in HVAC systems. It is secured beneath or alongside the evaporator coil to provide uniform heat distribution where frost commonly forms. Regular frost removal maintains proper airflow, supports efficient heat exchange, reduces unnecessary compressor workload and supports stable system operation throughout repeated cooling cycles.
