Copeland 918-0518-02 Crankcase Heater
Maintain critical thermal stability within your refrigeration system using the Copeland 918-0518-02 Crankcase Heater. Specifically engineered for industrial and commercial 480V power supplies, this 200W insertion heater is a direct OEM component compatible with Copeland 4, 6, and 8 series deep sump compressors. By providing concentrated heat directly to the oil reservoir, this component effectively prevents refrigerant migration during the off-cycle, mitigating the risk of terminal liquid slugging at startup. Its immersion-style design ensures superior heat transfer compared to bellyband alternatives, keeping crankcase temperatures high enough to prevent oil viscosity issues in cold ambient conditions. This HVAC compressor heater is built for the rigors of heavy-duty cycle service, ensuring the long-term mechanical integrity of the compressor’s internal drive components by maintaining optimal lubrication flow from the moment the contactor pulls in.
Key Benefits- Precise Fitment: Designed specifically for Copeland deep sump series compressors (4, 6, and 8 models), ensuring a secure, high-contact fit for maximum thermal conductivity.
- Enhanced Protection: Effectively stops refrigerant from condensing in the crankcase during inactive periods, preventing oil dilution.
- High Voltage Reliability: Rated for 480 Volts and 200 Watts, meeting the power requirements of large-scale industrial refrigeration and air handling units.
- Installation Efficiency: The insertion-type configuration allows for direct immersion into the oil well, providing more efficient heat distribution than surface-mounted heaters.
Is this heater compatible with standard scroll compressors?
No, this insertion-style heater is specifically designed for semi-hermetic reciprocating 4, 6, and 8 series deep sump models. For scroll compressors, a bellyband style heater is typically required.
What happens if the heater fails to stay energized during the off-cycle?
If the crankcase heater fails, refrigerant vapor will migrate and condense into the cold oil. This can cause foaming during startup, which leads to poor lubrication and potential mechanical failure of the crankcase components.
Does this unit come with lead wires and strain relief?
Yes, as an OEM Copeland 918-0518-02 component, it includes integrated leads designed to withstand the high-temperature environment of an industrial compressor housing.
