Heil Quaker ICP 1172473 Heater
The Heil Quaker ICP 1172473 Heater is an essential OEM 480V crankcase heater designed for high-performance HVACR refrigeration systems and rooftop units. Operating at 70W, this crankcase heater 480V is specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant migration and oil dilution during the compressor's off-cycle. By maintaining the oil at a temperature above the refrigerant saturation point, the ICP 1172473 ensures proper lubrication upon startup and prevents liquid slugging, which is a leading cause of premature compressor failure in commercial and industrial environments.
This HTR CC WP 70W 480V CH254-3 model features a robust, waterproof construction (WP designation), making it ideal for outdoor packaged units subject to varying weather conditions. It serves as a direct OEM replacement part for several International Comfort Products (ICP) brands, including Heil, Tempstar, and Arcoaire. For technicians performing preventative maintenance or troubleshooting tripped breakers, verifying the resistance of the heating element is a critical step in maintaining system reliability. This heater integrates seamlessly into existing control circuits, typically wired through an auxiliary contact on the compressor contactor to ensure it remains energized whenever the compressor is idle.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Prevents Refrigerant Migration: Actively drives liquid refrigerant out of the compressor oil to ensure a "dry" start every time.
- Waterproof Durability: The WP (Water Proof) casing provides superior protection against moisture and environmental exposure in rooftop applications.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for Heil Quaker and ICP systems, including the 1172424 legacy part number.
- Optimized 480V Operation: Specifically rated for three-phase commercial power supplies, delivering constant 70W thermal output.
- Compressor Protection: Extends the service life of expensive reciprocating and scroll compressors by maintaining optimal oil viscosity.
What happens if the crankcase heater fails?
A failed heater allows refrigerant to mix with the compressor oil. On startup, this mixture foams, causing a loss of lubrication and potential mechanical damage to bearrings and valves.
Can I use a 240V heater in place of this 480V model?
No. Using an incorrectly rated voltage will either cause the heater to burn out immediately or fail to provide sufficient heat. Always match the 480V specification for this ICP 1172473 part.
How do I verify if the CH254-3 heater is working?
Check the amp draw while the compressor is off or measure the resistance across the heater leads using a multimeter to ensure the circuit is continuous and meeting the 70W heat requirement.
