Tecumseh CCH2C Crankcase Heater
The Tecumseh CCH2C Crankcase Heater is a critical 240V component designed for refrigeration compressor maintenance to mitigate liquid refrigerant migration during the off-cycle. As a veteran-grade belly band heater, this 27W 240V element provides regulated thermal energy to the compressor base, ensuring oil remains above the refrigerant's saturation point. This prevents oil dilution and harmful compressor flooded starts, which are primary causes of mechanical failure in low-ambient conditions. Built for field reliability, the CCH2C maintains optimal lubricant viscosity, allowing for smooth internal component movement immediately upon startup. This 240V crankcase heater is a standard compressor replacement part for technicians servicing residential and commercial HVAC units that suffer from refrigerant slugging. By applying consistent heat to the lower compressor shell, it secures the HVAC compressor protection necessary for year-round operational stability. Proper installation ensures that the refrigerant stays in the condenser and evaporator, rather than settling in the crankcase where it can damage bearings.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Prevents Lubricant Washout: Stops liquid refrigerant from mixing with oil, protecting critical bearings.
- Optimized Cold Starts: Ensures the compressor is ready for immediate load by keeping the oil warm.
- High-Durability 240V Element: Engineered to withstand thermal expansion and contraction cycles.
- Universal Belly Band Fit: Flexible design allows for secure strapping to various Tecumseh compressor housings.
- System Efficiency: Reduces the risk of liquid slugging, which can lead to broken scroll sets or valves.
Is the CCH2C compatible with 208V systems?
While it is rated for 240V, it can operate on 208V circuits; however, the wattage output will be reduced, potentially leading to lower heat transfer in extreme cold. Check your specific thermal requirements before installation.
Where exactly should I position this heater on the compressor?
For maximum heat transfer, secure the band as low as possible on the compressor shell, ideally below the oil level and away from the terminal box weld seams to prevent hot spots.
Should this heater be energized while the compressor is running?
Standard field practice involves wiring the heater through a single-pole contactor so it remains energized during the off-cycle and de-energized via the compressor windings or auxiliary contacts during run-time.
