Description
The Copeland 918-0019-04 is a belt-type crankcase heater engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from the damaging effects of refrigerant migration and liquid slugging. By maintaining the compressor crankcase at an elevated temperature during off cycles, this heater prevents refrigerant from mixing with compressor oil — a leading cause of premature compressor failure.
How It Works
The belt-type design wraps securely around the lower portion of the compressor crankcase, ensuring consistent, even heat transfer across the surface. This mounting style provides reliable contact and stable performance across a wide range of compressor sizes and configurations.
