We study effects of disorder on the low energy single particle transport in a normal wire surrounded by a superconductor. We show that the heat conductance includes the Andreev diffusion decreasing with increase in the mean free path $\ell $ and the diffusive drift produced by a small particle-hole asymmetry, which increases with increasing $\ell$. The conductance thus has a minimum as a function of $\ell$ which leads to a peculiar re-entrant localization as a function of the mean free path.
