Crankcase Heaters, Heating Belts 

FLEXBELT crankcase heaters are designed for quick, easy, and safe use. This heater could be fitted on a round or elliptical refrigerated compressor unit. Crankcase heaters are used in the refrigeration industry and cold refrigerated systems.

FCH crankcase is fitted to refrigerating compressors to prevent the coolant from being absorbed by the oil. The lower the temperature, the quicker and the more complete the absorption, which can seriously damage the compressor, especially when starting up, through lack of lubrication. To ensure that these heating belts enjoy a long service life, we recommend using a control device.
