Copeland 918-0056-08 Crankcase Heater
The Copeland 918-0056-08 is a high-performance belt type crankcase heater designed for industrial and commercial HVACR applications. Specifically engineered for 480 volts and delivering 150 watts of consistent thermal output, this heater maintains critical crankcase temperature to prevent refrigerant migration during the off-cycle. By keeping the compressor oil clear of liquid refrigerant, it eliminates the risk of oil dilution and catastrophic liquid slugging upon startup. This OEM heater features a wrap-around belt design that ensures maximum surface contact with the compressor shell, providing efficient heat transfer even in low ambient conditions. This specific model is a vital component for high-horsepower Copeland Scroll and reciprocating units, particularly those in rooftop or outdoor installations where temperature fluctuations can compromise lubrication. Its robust construction is built to withstand the rigorous demands of HVAC compressor service, ensuring reliable operation and maintaining system head pressure during cold-weather startups.
Key Benefits
- Prevents Liquid Slugging: Maintains optimal oil temperature to keep refrigerant in a gaseous state, protecting valves and internal components.
- Precise Fit: The belt type mounting ensures secure attachment and uniform heat distribution around the crankcase.
- Industrial Specification: Rated at 480V/150W for compatibility with heavy-duty commercial power systems.
- Reduces Oil Dilution: Promotes superior lubrication by ensuring the crankcase heater keeps oil at the viscosity required for immediate loading.
- Optimized Performance: Helps maintain system efficiency by reducing mechanical wear during the most critical part of the cycle: the start.
Common Questions
What happens if the 480V crankcase heater fails?
Failure of the crankcase heater often leads to liquid refrigerant migrating to the oil during the off-cycle. On startup, this mixture foams, stripping the pump of lubrication and potentially causing mechanical seizure or broken valve plates.
How do I confirm the 150W output is correct for my compressor?
Technicians should verify the compressor shell diameter and the voltage requirements on the data plate. The Copeland 918-0056-08 is typically specified for larger 7.5 to 30 HP Scroll compressors that require 480V service.
Does this heater require a specific mounting orientation?
The wrap-around belt should be positioned lower on the compressor shell to ensure the oil reservoir is directly heated, maximizing the thermal transfer to the lubricant.
