Trane HTR15191 Crankcase Heater
Protecting your compressor from liquid slugging during the off-cycle requires a consistent heat source to maintain oil temperature. The Trane HTR15191 Crankcase Heater is a pro-grade belt type heater designed for 230-240 volt applications, delivering 90/100 watts of self-regulating heat. This OEM compressor heater band is specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant migration into the oil, which causes foaming and bearing washouts during cold starts. With a 10-11 1/2" diameter and 76" leads, it provides a secure fit around the lower shell of your compressor, ensuring maximum heat transfer. Integrating this HTR15191 heater into your preventive maintenance schedule is critical for long-term reliability in varying ambient conditions. Trust specialized Trane HVAC parts to meet the exact electrical and thermal requirements of your equipment without compromising performance.
Key Benefits:- Prevents Refrigerant Migration: Keeps the compressor oil warmer than the rest of the system to stop liquid refrigerant from condensing in the crankcase.
- High-Wattage Performance: Delivers 90-100 Watts of power, sufficient for demanding commercial and residential condensing units.
- Superior Heat Transfer: The belt type design ensures full 360-degree contact with the compressor housing for uniform warming.
- Versatile Compatibility: Fits compressors with a 10 to 11.5-inch diameter, commonly found in larger Trane and American Standard systems.
- Extended Reach: Equipped with 76-inch leads to simplify wiring to the control panel or contactor.
How do I test a Trane HTR15191 crankcase heater?
Disconnect power and check the heater’s resistance with an ohmmeter. For a 240V, 100W heater, you should see approximately 576 ohms of resistance. If the circuit is open or reads zero, replace the Trane HTR15191 immediately.
When should the crankcase heater be energized?
The heater should be powered anytime the compressor is in the off-cycle. In many systems, it is recommended to energize the heater for at least 24 hours before the initial seasonal startup to drive off any accumulated refrigerant.
What happens if a crankcase heater fails?
A failed heater allows refrigerant to mix with the oil. On startup, this mixture foams, resulting in poor lubrication, potential liquid slugging, and ultimate compressor failure.
