Heatcraft Refrigeration 24711203 Heater

The Heatcraft Refrigeration 24711203 Heater is a critical OEM replacement heating element specifically engineered for high-capacity commercial refrigeration evaporators. Operating at 230V and delivering a precise 2300W output, this 124-inch heater is a common specification for Bohn, Larkin, Climate Control, and Chandler walk-in freezer units. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the integrity of the defrost cycle is paramount to preventing ice bridging and ensuring the thermal efficiency of the coil. This Heatcraft 24711203 features a heavy-duty sheath construction designed to withstand the rigorous freeze-thaw cycles found in industrial cold storage environments. When performing a field replacement, this 2300 Watt defrost heater ensures a direct fit, eliminating the need for mounting modifications or lead-wire extensions, which is essential for maintaining the UL listing of the evaporator assembly.

Key Benefits for Contractors:

• Direct Heatcraft OEM Match: Guarantees electrical compatibility with existing terminal blocks and defrost termination switches.
• High-Wattage Efficiency: The 230V 2300W rating provides rapid defrosting, reducing the heat load introduced into the refrigerated space during the cycle.
• Rugged Sheath Design: Built for commercial refrigeration defrost applications to resist moisture ingress and thermal fatigue.
• Precise 124-Inch Length: Designed for an exact fit within the coil slab to ensure uniform heat distribution and complete ice removal.

Common Questions:

Is the 24711203 compatible with Bohn evaporator coils?
Yes, as a genuine Heatcraft part, this heater is the standard OEM replacement for various Heatcraft-branded evaporators, including Bohn, Larkin, and Climate Control models that specify a 124" 2300W element.

Can I use this 230V heater in a 208V system?
While the heater will operate at 208V, the wattage output will be reduced (approximately 1880W). For optimal defrost performance and to meet original equipment specifications, it is recommended to use the voltage matched to the nameplate.

What is the primary cause of heater failure in these units?
Most failures result from physical damage during ice removal or moisture-related shorts. Using a genuine Heatcraft 24711203 ensures the seals and insulation meet factory standards for moisture resistance.
