Copeland 918-0518-00 200W Crankcase Heater 3.5" DIA 40" Leads 120V

The Copeland 918-0518-00 crankcase heater is really essential component that makes sure that the HVAC systems work as they should, especially if they are using compressors. It runs on 120V power source with a rating of two hundred watts. Its dimension is 3.5" wide and forty inches long from its lead ends which is quite small for such a device. The crankcase heater supplies inner heat to the compressor’s crankcase thus keeping its oil warm enough so that refrigerant does not condense in it. This minimizes oil dilution and compressor failure on starting, especially at low temperatures. It also maintains optimal viscosity of oil thereby reducing refrigerant migration thereby improving compressor efficiency and increasing its duration.
