Copeland 918-0103-00 Kit
The Copeland 918-0103-00 Kit is a professional-grade 240V CCH kit designed to maintain critical oil temperatures within the compressor crankcase. For technicians managing commercial refrigeration or residential split systems, this crankcase heater is essential for preventing refrigerant migration during the off-cycle. By keeping the lubricant above the saturation point of the refrigerant, the 918-0103-00 effectively eliminates liquid slugging and flooded starts, which are primary causes of mechanical scroll failure in low-ambient conditions. This belly-band style heater ensures maximum thermal transfer by making direct contact with the compressor shell, providing the consistent heat needed to preserve oil viscosity and protect internal bearings. Engineered for seamless integration with Copeland compressor models, this kit includes the rugged heating element and necessary mounting hardware for a secure, high-tension fit that prevents catastrophic compressor startup damage.
Key Benefits- Prevents Refrigerant Migration: Stops liquid refrigerant from mixing with oil during dwell periods, ensuring immediate lubrication upon startup.
- Optimized 240V Performance: Specifically rated for 240V circuits to provide reliable, steady-state heating without over-cycling.
- Enhanced Compressor Longevity: Reduces mechanical stress and noise by eliminating "hard starts" associated with cold lubricant.
- Direct-Contact Design: The flexible belly-band wraps securely around the lower shell for high-efficiency heat distribution.
When is a crankcase heater required?
A heater is typically required when the system refrigerant charge exceeds the compressor's charge limit or when the unit is exposed to ambient temperatures below 50°F.
How do I ensure the heater doesn't burn out prematurely?
Always install the band below the oil level and tighten the clamp screw to 20-25 in-lb. Never apply power before the heater is fully secured to the compressor shell.
Can this kit be used on non-Copeland compressors?
While designed for Copeland scrolls and hermetic units, compatibility depends on shell diameter and voltage. Check the compressor diameter against the band length for a proper fit.
Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change. Please contact our team to confirm compatibility or technical details before purchasing.
