Abstract:
A crankcase heater mounting and compressor system that efficiently heats the oil sump fluid in an oil sump of a crankcase. A heater well is disposed in a substantially planar section in the lower housing shell of the crankcase. The inner surface of the heater well is substantially submerged in the oil sump fluid even at low oil sump fluid levels.
