Why Use a Crankcase Heater?
Crankcase heaters are a critical component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. During compressor off cycles — especially in cold ambient conditions — refrigerant can migrate and mix with the compressor oil. When the compressor restarts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause slugging, oil foaming, and accelerated wear. The Carrier 06EA660166 crankcase heater keeps the compressor sump warm, driving off refrigerant and maintaining proper oil viscosity for clean, reliable startups.
