Description
The Trane HTR15173 Crankcase Heater is a compressor heating component designed to prevent refrigerant migration and maintain proper oil temperature during compressor off cycles. It operates at 230 volts with a 40-watt heating capacity and features a 6.5-inch diameter configuration for compatibility with designated compressor housings and mounting applications. The heater is installed around compatible compressor crankcase sections during servicing or replacement procedures to provide controlled warming during inactive periods. Within HVAC systems, it operates as a compressor protection component that assists with refrigerant management, oil stability, and reliable startup operation.
