Heatcraft Refrigeration 24752502 Heater

The Heatcraft Refrigeration 24752502 Heater is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-performance condensate management in commercial refrigeration systems. This drain pan heater is a direct-fit component for low profile unit coolers, ensuring that meltwater from the defrost cycle remains in a liquid state to prevent ice buildup and hazardous overflow. Operating at 208-230V with a power rating of 300 Watts, this rod-style heater is specifically designed for 2-fan evaporator configurations. Its 38-inch length provides extensive coverage across the evaporator drain pan, maintaining thermal consistency even in demanding walk-in freezer environments.

Constructed for longevity in high-moisture settings, the Heatcraft 24752502 utilizes heavy-duty materials to resist corrosion and ensure reliable defrost system operation. As a genuine InterLink component, it offers seamless integration with major brands including Bohn, Larkin, Climate Control, and Chandler. For refrigeration technicians, this heater simplifies maintenance by eliminating the need for field modifications, ensuring that the system meets original factory specifications for moisture drainage and thermal protection.

Key Benefits

• Optimized Condensate Drainage: Specifically rated at 300W to provide sufficient heat to prevent refreezing in the drain pan during and after the defrost cycle.
• Universal Compatibility: Engineered as a standard Heatcraft replacement part for diverse low-profile 2-fan units used in walk-in coolers and food processing facilities.
• Technical Reliability: Designed to operate efficiently on 208/230V circuits, matching the electrical load requirements of professional-grade evaporator coils.
• Precise Fitment: At approximately 38 inches, this heater ensures complete edge-to-edge pan coverage to eliminate cold spots that lead to ice accumulation.

Common Questions

Which unit coolers are compatible with the Heatcraft 24752502?
This drain pan heater is primarily designed for Heatcraft low profile unit coolers with a 2-fan configuration. It is a standard replacement for Bohn, Larkin, and Chandler systems that require a 300W, 230V rod-type heater for the drain assembly.

Can I use this heater in a 115V system?
No. The 24752502 is specifically rated for 208-230V. Installing this on a 115V circuit will result in significantly reduced heat output (approximately 25% of its rated wattage), which will not be sufficient to prevent ice buildup in the drain pan.

What are the symptoms of a failing drain pan heater?
Technicians should look for ice formation directly beneath the evaporator coil, water leaking onto the floor of the walk-in, or a blocked drain line. If the defrost heater is functioning but the pan remains frozen, the 24752502 heater may be open and require replacement.
