Trane HTR15189 Crankcase Heater Overview
The Trane HTR15189 is a crankcase heater engineered to protect refrigeration and air conditioning compressors from the damaging effects of refrigerant migration. By maintaining the compressor crankcase at an elevated temperature during off-cycles, this heater prevents liquid refrigerant from accumulating in the compressor oil, ensuring reliable start-up and extending compressor service life.

Why Crankcase Heaters Matter
During compressor off-cycles — especially in cold ambient conditions — refrigerant can migrate from the refrigerant circuit into the compressor oil sump. When the compressor restarts, this refrigerant-oil mixture can cause hydraulic slugging, oil foaming, and accelerated bearing wear. A properly functioning crankcase heater eliminates this risk by keeping the oil warm and refrigerant-free, protecting your investment and reducing costly service calls.
