Description
The Copeland 918-0056-10 Crankcase Heater Belt improves the efficiency and longevity of refrigeration and air conditioning units of HVAC systems. This crankcase heater belt operates at 120V and produces 150 watts of electricity, which prevents refrigerant accumulation in the compressor crankcase that damages it, thereby affecting its performance negatively. The crankcase heater belt generates continuous heat around the compressor crankcase, hence maintaining an even temperature and preventing refrigerant migration while off-cycle. In addition to liquid slugging, this action protects the compressor from possible damage but also promotes efficient starting and operation. In this manner, it guarantees the reliability of the entire system, minimizing wear on the compressor and contributing to greater energy savings by keeping it warm at all times.
