While scroll compressors usually do not require
crankcase heaters, there are instances when a
heater should be added� Refrigerant migration
during the off cycle can result in a noisy start up�
Add a crankcase heater to minimize refrigerant
migration and to help eliminate any start up noise
or bearing “wash out.”
NOTE:
A crankcase heater should be installed if:
• The system charge exceeds the values listed in
the adjacent tables,
• The system is subject to low voltage variations,
or
• When a low ambient control is used for system
operation below 55°F�
All heaters are located on the lower half of the
compressor shell� Its purpose is to drive refrigerant
from the compressor shell during long off cycles,
thus preventing damage to the compressor during
start-up�
At initial start-up or after extended shutdown
periods, make sure the heater is energized for at
least 12 hours before the compressor is started�
(Disconnect switch is on and wall thermostat is off�)
