Description
The Trane HTR2047 150W, 120V Crankcase Heater is used to maintain the crankcase of a compressor of refrigerant that may turn to solid, which is an essential part of a refrigeration or air conditioning system. This can happen at low ambient temperatures making the system perform poorly, have a shorter durability, and even cause compressor failure. The heater works by keeping the temperature of the crankcase constant to supply the requisite amount of oil and to avoid the creation of refrigerant slugs. This is especially helpful when the systems are used in areas with apparent low temperatures or variations in climate conditions. The heater can be used with a variety of HVAC system equipment including chillers, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment.
