What Is a Compressor Crankcase Heater?
A crankcase heater is a very important element of compressors for refrigeration and HVAC units. Its job is to inhibit the refrigerant’s movement and subsequent condensation within the compressor whenever it is switched off. The idea is that it keeps the compressor free from any possible harm from the interaction of refrigerant and oil.
Features
Voltage Compatibility: This unit runs very well on 220V. Therefore, this compressor crankcase heater can easily fit in various refrigeration systems.
Durable Construction: Built to last, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding environments.
Energy Efficiency: Drives minimal power levels while still delivering adequate heating to the compressor crankcase.
Ease of Installation: Simplified setup to save technicians’ time and effort.
Why You Need a Crankcase Heater
Prevents Refrigerant Migration:
The heater stops refrigerant migration in the case of off-cycles. This is when refrigerant moves towards the crankcase of the compressor.
Protects the Compressor:
It prevents refrigerant-oil mixtures that could cause damage to the compressor, hence extending its lifespan.
Improves System Efficiency:
It makes the system work more efficiently because the crankcase heater helps in reducing startup stress and ensures optimal performance.
Applications
The BITZER 343213-04 Compressor Crankcase Heater is applied in the following areas:
- Commercial refrigeration systems
- Industrial HVAC units
- Cold storage facilities
