Heatcraft Refrigeration 08215207 Drain Pan Heater

The Heatcraft Refrigeration 08215207 Drain Pan Heater is an electric heating element fitted beneath a refrigeration units condensate pan to prevent collected water from freezing. When energized, it transfers heat to the pan and surrounding condensate, allowing melted frost and defrost water to remain in liquid form for drainage. Along the pan surface where water accumulates after defrost cycles. In evaporator units and cold-room refrigeration HVAC systems, it works with the drain arrangement to keep condensate moving toward the outlet. Its operation is controlled through the units electrical circuit, providing localized heat where low temperatures could otherwise cause ice formation.
