Copeland 918-0054-00 Crankcase Heater - Kit 120V 35W

The Copeland 918-0054-00 is a crankcase heater kit designed to provide essential compressor protection for refrigeration and HVAC systems. This 120-volt, 35-watt heater keeps the crankcase warm during compressor off-cycles, preventing refrigerant migration that can cause damaging liquid slugging at start-up.

Key Features:

• 120V operation with 35-watt heating element
• Easy drop-in installation for quick replacement
• UL-Recognized for safety compliance
• Rugged construction ensures longer service life
• Limited wattage design prevents oil overheating and carbonization
• Maintains proper oil viscosity in cold ambient conditions

This crankcase heater is essential for systems where compressors are exposed to cold temperatures, particularly outdoor and rooftop units. By maintaining oil temperature and fluidity, it ensures the compressor can develop proper oil pressure even in cold weather. The heater prevents refrigerant vapor from condensing in the crankcase when the compressor is not operating, protecting against costly compressor damage.
