Lennox 93M11 Crankcase Heater
The Lennox 93M11 Crankcase Heater is a critical OEM replacement component designed to maintain compressor reliability in demanding commercial and industrial HVACR environments. Operating at 480 Volts with a 70 Watts power rating, this belt type crankcase heater provides consistent thermal energy to the compressor base, effectively preventing refrigerant migration and neutralizing the risk of oil dilution during off-cycles. Engineered as a wrap-around heating element, it offers a versatile 7-9 inch diameter range (specifically 6.58" to 8.93") to ensure a snug, high-efficiency fit on various compressor housings. The inclusion of 14-inch leads with 1/4" insulated lead end terminations allows for flexible field wiring and rapid integration into existing control circuits. By keeping the lubricant at an optimal temperature, the 100499-08 model mitigates mechanical wear during cold starts, safeguarding the internal assembly from slugging and ensuring long-term system performance in high-voltage applications.
Key Benefits
- Prevents Refrigerant Migration: Stops liquid refrigerant from mixing with oil during standby, reducing the potential for compressor damage.
- Optimized Heat Transfer: The 70W wrap-around heater design ensures even thermal distribution across the compressor housing.
- Wide Compatibility: Adjustable belt fits compressors with a 7"-9" diameter, making it a versatile stock item for service vans.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand industrial conditions, ensuring stable 480V HVAC heater operation in various ambient temperatures.
