Description
The S1-025-31960-000 is a genuine OEM crankcase (band) heater from York, purpose-built to warm the compressor crankcase in HVAC or refrigeration systems. Operating at 480 V and delivering 70 W of heating power, this band heater wraps around the compressor to maintain fluid/gas temperature — preventing refrigerant from thickening or condensing in cold conditions.
Key Features
- 480 V power, 70 W output — Provides sufficient heating capacity to keep the crankcase warm and refrigerant stable in colder conditions.
- OEM-spec band-heater design — Wrap-around format ensures secure installation on compatible compressors, maintaining even heat distribution and reliable operation.
- Prevents refrigerant thickening / oil slugging — Helps avoid hard starts, compressor damage, and inefficient operation by maintaining proper fluid viscosity and pressures before startup.
- Improves system reliability & compressor lifespan — Keeps critical components protected during cold weather or startup after downtime, reducing wear and potential damage.
- Direct OEM replacement — Designed for units originally equipped with this part — ensures proper fit, electrical rating compatibility, and long-term durability.
