Description
Crankcase heaters are installed around the compressor’s crankcase and energized whenever the system is off, warming the refrigerant and oil so they stay separated. Without this heater in colder environments or seasonal cycling conditions, liquid refrigerant can collect in the compressor, leading to high startup torque, excessive wear, and premature failure. The HTR15199 is engineered to meet the performance and reliability standards required in demanding HVAC applications.
Key Features
- OEM Grade Build: Made to original Trane factory specifications for reliability and compatibility.
- Wattage: 90–100 W — provides sufficient heating output for crankcase protection in larger compressors.
- Voltage Rating: 460–480 V AC — matches high voltage condenser circuit requirements.
- Phase: Single phase design integrates easily into compressor circuits controlled by the contactor.
- Enhances Compressor Longevity: Helps prevent refrigerant migration and oil dilution during standby periods or cold weather.
- Compact & Durable: Constructed for long term service life in outdoor HVAC environments.
- Direct Replacement: Replaces older or failed heaters like HTR6621 in many Trane units.
- Standard Fit: Works with many Trane condensing units requiring a 460–480 V crankcase heater — check your model for fit.
