Abstract
A crankcase heater control system for a refrigeration system includes a first temperature sensor for sensing the outdoor temperature, and, a second temperature sensor for sensing compressor discharge temperature. A controller is operatively connected to temperature sensors and the crankcase heater. When the ambient temperature falls below a first pre-determined temperature the controller compares the compressor discharge temperature to a second pre-determined temperature which is greater than the first pre-determined temperature and energizes the crankcase heater when the compressor discharge temperature falls below the second pre-determined temperature.
