Raypak CCH-2C Crankcase Heater 240 Volts

Product Description

The RAYPAK CCH-2C is a crankcase heater designed to protect compressor oil in refrigeration and HVAC systems during off cycles. Crankcase heaters prevent refrigerant migration into the compressor crankcase, which can cause oil dilution and compressor damage on startup. Rated at 240 volts, this heater wraps around or mounts to the compressor housing and runs continuously or through a thermostat to maintain oil temperature above refrigerant condensation point. Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician as part of compressor maintenance or replacement work.

The CCH-2C is suited for use in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems where compressor protection during extended off periods is required. It is commonly installed on scroll, reciprocating, and rotary compressors in split systems, heat pumps, and packaged units operating in low ambient or cold-climate conditions where refrigerant migration risk is elevated.

Key Features

• Operates at 240 volts for compatibility with standard single-phase HVAC compressor circuits
• Protects compressor oil from refrigerant dilution during off-cycle periods
• Reduces compressor wear and potential liquid slugging on startup
• OEM-style replacement for RAYPAK-specified crankcase heater applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement crankcase heater for RAYPAK-specified compressor applications requiring a 240-volt crankcase heater.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician. De-energize the unit and lock out power at the disconnect before handling any compressor components. Verify voltage supply matches the 240-volt rating before connecting. Allow adequate warm-up time after installation before starting the compressor to ensure oil temperature is above refrigerant condensation point.
