Description
The Copeland 918-0103-00 Crank Case Heater Kit 240 VAC is an essential component in a cooling system that prevents condensing refrigerant migration and compressor oil dilution during off-cycles. A warm climate is essential for preventing huge amounts of damage to any HVAC equipment including this kit which operates at 240V AC. The Crank Case Heater Kit keeps the temperature inside the compressor’s crankcase constant all through its longevity. When your HVAC system is not on refrigerant will move down to lower points in the compressor where it can mix with oil leading to its dilution, this dilutes it even further driving it out during start-up cycles as well making everything potentially worse than before. Thus, this heater maintains the temperature of the crankcase above the saturation temperature of refrigerant during its cycles which enables lubrication to remain in perfect state without any forms of interruptions.
