Why is the crankcase heater so important in Medium And Low Temperature Commercial Refrigeration Condensing Units?

1. Ensure the fluidity of the lubricating oil
Challenges in low temperature environments: In the field of medium and low temperature commercial refrigeration, Medium And Low Temperature Commercial Refrigeration Condensing Units often operate in low temperature environments. In such an environment, the viscosity of the lubricating oil will increase significantly and the fluidity will decrease. This will cause the compressor to not be fully lubricated at startup, causing problems such as increased wear and reduced efficiency.
The role of the crankcase heater: The crankcase heater heats the lubricating oil to keep it within the appropriate temperature range to ensure its fluidity.

2. Prevent moisture condensation
The impact of moisture on the refrigeration system: In the refrigeration system, the presence of moisture can cause serious damage to the system. Moisture may cause corrosion, ice blockage and other problems, which in turn affect the normal operation and service life of the system.
The protective role of the crankcase heater: The crankcase heater can effectively remove moisture from the lubricating oil by heating it.

3. Improve operating efficiency and extend service life
Improvement of operating efficiency: Crankcase heaters improve the operating efficiency of Medium And Low Temperature Commercial Refrigeration Condensing Units by ensuring the normal flow of lubricating oil and preventing water condensation. The compressor operates in an environment with full lubrication and no water interference, and can complete the refrigeration task more efficiently.
Extend equipment life: The use of crankcase heaters reduces the wear of the compressor and the damage to the refrigeration system, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

4. Reduce maintenance costs
Reduce maintenance requirements: Since the crankcase heater can effectively prevent lubricating oil solidification and water condensation, it reduces the failure and maintenance requirements caused by poor lubrication and water damage. In this way, the maintenance cost of the equipment is greatly reduced, and the economy of the equipment is improved.
Simplify maintenance work: The use of crankcase heaters simplifies the maintenance work of the equipment. Maintenance personnel do not need to frequently check and deal with problems such as lubricating oil solidification and water condensation, saving time and energy and improving maintenance efficiency.
