Carrier HT32CH229 Belt Type Crankcase Heater
The Carrier HT32CH229 is a belt-type crankcase heater engineered to protect compressors from refrigerant migration and oil dilution during off-cycle periods. Designed to wrap securely around the compressor crankcase, this heater maintains oil temperature to ensure proper lubrication at startup, extending compressor life and improving system reliability.
Key Features
- Belt-type design for secure, uniform contact around the compressor crankcase
- Compatible with compressors measuring 5 to 6-1/2 inches in diameter
- 90-inch lead wires for flexible installation and routing
- Prevents refrigerant migration into compressor oil during off cycles
- Helps reduce the risk of compressor damage caused by liquid slugging at startup
- Genuine Carrier OEM replacement part
- Direct replacement for systems requiring Carrier-specified crankcase heating
Application
The HT32CH229 is ideal for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems where compressor protection during idle periods is critical. The belt-style heater wraps around the lower portion of the compressor shell, providing consistent warmth that keeps oil viscosity at optimal levels and prevents refrigerant from condensing into the oil sump.
