Product Details

The Packard CH280 is a belt-type crankcase heater designed for use with Copeland refrigeration and HVAC compressors. Operating at 240 volts and 70 watts, this round, flexible belt heater wraps around the exterior base of the compressor to maintain optimal crankcase oil temperature during off-cycles.

Crankcase heaters play a critical role in protecting compressor longevity. By keeping the crankcase warm, the CH280 prevents refrigerant migration into the compressor oil during shutdown periods — a leading cause of compressor damage and premature failure. Most manufacturers recommend the heater be energized for at least 24 hours prior to system start-up.

Key Features:

  • Type: Belt-style (belly band) external crankcase heater
  • Voltage: 240V
  • Wattage: 70W
  • Shape: Round / flexible belt
  • Girth Range: 20-13/16 in. (minimum) to 28 in. (maximum)
  • Compatible With: Copeland compressors
  • Manufacturer Part Number: CH280

The CH280 mounts externally around the compressor shell without requiring internal access, making installation straightforward on compatible Copeland units. It is an ideal replacement or maintenance part for residential and commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and heat pump systems.

Fair price, quick delivery

I was not informed that my order was shipped out. When I called and asked about it the rep said it would ship out next week. Later that day I got a notice from FedEx that my order was out for delivery. The product I bought was the correct item I ordered ' brand new in the box' so everything was good in that way.

Great service

Very easy and everything was as promised and expected, thank you. I run a multimillion dollar repair shop I will def use your company in the future.

Fast easy & direct.

Aaa

Everything went well

Outstanding!!!

Easy to buy. Thanks.
