Copeland 918-0019-08 Belt Type Crankcase Heater Overview
The Copeland 918-0019-08 is a belt-type crankcase heater engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from the damaging effects of refrigerant migration during off-cycle periods. By maintaining the crankcase oil at an elevated temperature, this heater prevents liquid refrigerant from mixing with the compressor oil — a leading cause of compressor failure on startup.
Key Features
- Belt-type design wraps securely around the compressor crankcase for maximum heat transfer
- Rated voltage: 480 Volts
- Power consumption: 70 Watts
- Genuine Copeland OEM replacement part
- Helps prevent refrigerant migration and oil dilution during compressor off cycles
- Reduces risk of compressor damage and extends equipment service life
- Compatible with Copeland compressor models requiring belt-type crankcase heater protection
Why Use a Crankcase Heater?
During compressor shutdown, refrigerant can migrate into the crankcase and dissolve into the lubricating oil. On startup, this refrigerant flashes off rapidly, stripping oil from critical bearing surfaces and causing premature wear or catastrophic failure. A properly installed crankcase heater eliminates this risk by keeping the oil warm and refrigerant-free, ensuring reliable compressor starts and longer equipment life.
