Description
The Trane HTR01614 Crankcase Heater 67W 460V is a heating element used in refrigeration compressors to maintain oil temperature inside the unit during off cycles in HVAC systems. It prevents refrigerant migration into the compressor by ensuring that the internal oil is warm, reducing the chance of liquid slugging and startup damage. It is placed directly on or around the compressor housing in packaged rooftop units, split systems, and air conditioning or heat pump equipment. It operates as a component within the refrigeration circuit, ensuring proper compressor operation and protecting system performance during outside conditions.
