Heatcraft Refrigeration 5508Q Heater
As a seasoned technician, you know that a frozen drain line can lead to a messy service call and potential water damage in walk-in freezers. The Heatcraft Refrigeration 5508Q Heater is a mission-critical OEM replacement part designed specifically for commercial refrigeration drain line freeze protection. At 72 inches (6 feet) in length, this 240V 42Watt heater wire provides the precise thermal output needed to maintain clear condensate flow in high-demand environments. Managing refrigeration defrost cycles effectively requires reliable hardware, and this Heatcraft drain heater is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Bohn unit coolers and other Heatcraft evaporator models like the ADT and BEC series. Utilizing a 72-inch heater wire ensures full coverage of the internal drain pan and exit piping, preventing ice bridges that cause overflow. When you are performing HVACR preventive maintenance, swapping a brittle or failed heater with this genuine 5508Q ensures the system maintains its refrigeration energy efficiency and operational integrity without the risk of non-compliant aftermarket fitment issues.
Key Benefits- Optimized Compatibility: Designed for an exact fit in Heatcraft, Bohn, Larkin, and Chandler unit coolers, ensuring no modifications are required during drain line heater installation.
- Durable Thermal Performance: The 42-watt ratings provide consistent low-density heat to prevent freezing without damaging plastic or metal drain components.
- Robust Construction: Built to withstand the moisture-heavy, low-temperature environments found in industrial and commercial refrigeration systems.
- Safety Grounding: Engineered for 240V circuits with high-grade insulation to meet rigorous site safety standards.
What models is the Heatcraft 5508Q heater compatible with?
This 72-inch heater wire is a standard component for many Heatcraft Refrigeration brands, including Bohn and Larkin. It specifically fits popular models such as the ADT040 through ADT370 and BEC series unit coolers.
Can I use a 240V heater on a 208V circuit?
While it will physically connect, running a 240V heater on a 208V circuit will result in lower wattage output (approximately 31.5W instead of 42W), which may not provide sufficient freeze protection in extremely cold applications.
How do I test if the drain line heater is functioning?
Perform a continuity test with a multimeter. If the circuit is open, the heater is failed and needs immediate replacement to prevent the refrigeration drain line from icing over during the next defrost cycle.
