Description
The Trane HTR12895 is a genuine OEM crankcase heater engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from refrigerant migration during off-cycle periods. By maintaining the compressor crankcase at an elevated temperature, this heater prevents liquid refrigerant from mixing with the compressor oil — a leading cause of compressor damage and premature failure.
Key Features
- Genuine Trane OEM replacement crankcase heater
- Operating voltage: 230V
- Wattage: 40W
- Heater length: 6.5″
- Prevents refrigerant migration into compressor oil during off-cycle periods
- Helps extend compressor service life and reduce costly failures
- Direct OEM replacement for compatible Trane systems
Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During equipment shutdown, refrigerant can migrate to the compressor sump and mix with the lubricating oil. When the system restarts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause slugging, oil foaming, and bearing damage. A properly functioning crankcase heater keeps the oil warm enough to prevent refrigerant absorption, ensuring reliable startups and long compressor life.
Application
- Designed for use with compatible Trane commercial and residential HVAC equipment
- Ideal for replacement in systems where the original crankcase heater has failed or is showing signs of wear
- Suitable for installations requiring a 230V, 40W crankcase heater with a 6.5″ element length
