Heil Quaker ICP 1173944 Crankcase Heater
The Heil Quaker ICP 1173944 Crankcase Heater is a critical OEM replacement part engineered to maintain optimal compressor oil viscosity in low-ambient conditions. Operating at 240V with a 40-watt power rating, this crankcase heater prevents refrigerant migration and ensures a flooded start does not damage the internal compressor components. Field technicians recognize this part as a standard specification for Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire residential and commercial condensing units. With a generous 60-inch lead length, this heater provides flexible routing options within the cabinet, ensuring a secure fit around the base of the compressor. Utilizing ICP 1173944 as your primary cross-reference ensures full compatibility with International Comfort Products equipment, protecting the system from high-viscosity oil issues and mechanical failure during cold-start cycles. This 40W 240V heater is built to original factory standards for precise thermal output and long-term reliability in the field.
Key Benefits- Optimized Oil Viscosity: Maintains lubricant temperature to prevent refrigerant dilution and "slugging" during cold starts.
- Exact OEM Fit: Direct replacement for 1173944, ensuring electrical and physical compatibility with ICP brands.
- Extended Compressor Life: Protects internal bearings and valves by eliminating liquid refrigerant presence in the crankcase.
- Universal Compatibility: Fits various models across Heil, KeepRite, and Day & Night HVAC systems.
- Durable Construction: High-grade heating element designed to withstand continuous outdoor exposure and thermal cycling.
How do I confirm if the ICP 1173944 fits my specific compressor?
Verify the voltage (240V) and wattage (40W) against your unit?s service manual. This part is a standard OEM replacement for most Heil Quaker and International Comfort Products condensing units. If the original heater utilized a 60-inch lead, this is the correct technical specification.
What happens if a crankcase heater fails in an HVAC system?
Failure leads to refrigerant migration into the oil. This causes the oil to foam during startup, resulting in poor lubrication and potential mechanical seizure of the HVAC compressor. Replacing a faulty 1173944 heater is a standard preventative maintenance step for cold-weather reliability.
Can this 240V heater be used on a 208V system?
While it will function, the wattage output will be reduced if operated at 208V. For full 40W thermal performance as specified by the manufacturer, a 240V circuit is required to maintain the design-intent temperature of the compressor oil.
