Description
Copeland 918-0056-08 Belt Type Crankcase Heater Overview
The Copeland 918-0056-08 is a belt-type crankcase heater engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from the damaging effects of refrigerant migration during off cycles. By maintaining a consistent heat level around the compressor crankcase, this heater prevents liquid refrigerant from mixing with compressor oil — a leading cause of premature compressor failure and costly system downtime.
Key Features
- Belt-type design wraps securely around the compressor crankcase for efficient, uniform heat transfer
- Rated at 480 Volts to suit commercial and industrial HVAC/R system voltages
- 150 Watt output delivers reliable heat to prevent refrigerant migration and oil dilution
- Genuine Copeland OEM replacement part for assured compatibility and performance
- Helps extend compressor service life and reduce unplanned maintenance costs
- Easy installation — flexible belt construction accommodates a range of compressor body sizes
Why Use a Crankcase Heater?
During compressor off cycles, refrigerant can migrate into the crankcase and mix with the lubricating oil. When the compressor restarts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause slugging, bearing wear, and catastrophic compressor failure. A properly functioning crankcase heater is a low-cost safeguard that protects your high-value compressor investment.
