General Description
PowerPax‐Smardt make a range of water cooled chillers from 200 to 3500kWr. The PowerPax‐Smardt water cooled
chiller range consists of Danfoss Turbocor centrifugal compressor(s), a flooded R134a shell and tube evaporator,
and a water cooled condenser. Liquid control is via a PowerPax‐Smardt Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV).
The compressors are semi‐hermetic, two stage, direct drive, variable speed centrifugals. This is a high speed
centrifugal machine which employs advanced magnetic bearing technology and direct drive to eliminate the need
for oil within the system.
Capacity control is provided by variable speed drive and inlet guide vanes, capable of reducing compressor
capacity to 25% of full load (at ARI550/590 standard part load conditions).
To accommodate loads below 25% there is a provision for discharge gas to be injected into the evaporator. This
provision is implemented by the controller only after the maximum turn down has been achieved by compressor
speed reduction. This ensures that the maximum efficiency is maintained at all times. This load balancing valve
feature can be disabled by the user through the chiller controller.
The compressor starts unloaded and current is limited to less than 2 amps per compressor. The maximum amps
are also limited to a preset value by the compressors inbuilt control software. Motor cooling is provided by an
integrated liquid refrigerant injection system controlled by the compressor. The compressor is equipped with
discharge and suction shutoff (isolating) valves, and fitted check valves to prevent reverse spin on shutdown.
As a guide, a number of units from 200 to 2800kWr at nominal conditions have been pre‐selected and used
throughout the manual for information purposes only.
Please contact PowerPax with your specific requirements or specific technical data.

Heat Exchangers
Evaporator
The evaporator is a flooded shell and tube design using enhanced surface finned copper tubes. It is constructed in
accordance with ASME code for a refrigerant side working pressure of 1320kPa and is tested for a maximum
water‐side pressure of 1000 kPa.
The evaporator shell is insulated with 19mm closed‐cell foam (max k factor of 0.038W/mK) with a vapor barrier
skin as standard. Further insulation is available as an optional extra.
Water Cooled Condenser
The condenser is a flooded shell and tube design using enhanced surface copper tubes. It is constructed in
accordance with ASME code for a refrigerant side working pressure of 1320 kPa and is tested for a maximum
water‐side pressure of 1000 kPa.
Correct operating refrigerant level is maintained by a control feedback loop which uses a resistance type level
sensor. This control function is built into the chiller controller which maintains the levels in the heat exchangers by
modulating the position of a stepper motor driven EXV. Similarly, the hot gas injection is controlled by the chiller
controller via a stepper motor driven valve. The set points and control terms for these functions are set at
commissioning via the chiller controller interface.
Refrigeration Components
Refrigerant circuit components include pressure relief valves, combination discharge check and isolation valves,
suction line valves, motor cooling line filter drier, liquid line, condenser level float chamber, sight glasses,
electronic expansion and load balancing valves and motor cooling isolation valves. The refrigeration system does
not contain oil.
Controls
The chiller controller utilizes a microprocessor based controller running on PowerPax‐Smardt proprietary software.
It handles the basic functions of chilled water temperature control, and condenser head pressure control. The
controller incorporates a function to trip the circuit breaker in the event of a compressor controls failure. The
controls protect the chiller against freezing by monitoring for low leaving water temperature and loss of water
flow (via the external interlocks). The controller also monitors the compressor status signal which indicates the
state of various production functions built into the compressor controller.
In‐built compressor control functions protect against high head pressure, low suction pressure, power supply faults
(voltage and imbalance), excess power input, excess amps input, excess motor temperature, and excessive
electronics temperature.
The controller fitted to the PowerPax‐Smardt water cooled chiller is a PLC based device manufactured by Carel
utilizing imbedded control software written specifically by PowerPax‐Smardt for PowerPax‐Smardt chiller
applications. It utilizes a color touch screen interface and provides access to settings via a combination of touch
screen and button controls.
The various applications are selectable through user interface screens to the touch screen interface. The status of
the compressors and various systems parameters can be viewed on these screens as can the log of up to 20 past
alarm events. The program is stored in non‐volatile memory and can be upgraded in the field.
13
SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
The compressor controller also ensures compressor operation is between the limits (eg. surge) of its operational
envelope at all times.
Safeties
PowerPax‐Smardt water cooled units are equipped to provide the following protection:
Low chilled water temperature
Power supply errors
Compressor motor thermal or electrical overload
Phase loss
High pressure
Low pressure
Loss of chiller water flow via an interlock to an external flow switch
Loss of condenser water flow to an external flow switch
Information on Welding
PowerPax‐Smardt vessels are either ASME or AS1210 certified. Please note that welding should never be
performed on the vessels or tube sheets. Such a practice will void the ASME certification. Do not weld on any part
of the chiller under any circumstances as current can travel through the chiller earth if the welder earth is not
satisfactory, unnecessarily damaging chiller and/or compressor electronics and voiding the unit warranty.
Foundation
Before installing the chiller set, ensure that the supporting floor meets the load bearing requirements. Consult the
Dimensions and Weight Table on page 17 to determine the load bearing requirements. Four point supports must
be installed, two at each end of the chiller.
PowerPax‐Smardt is not responsible for the load bearing capacity of the floor.
Clearance and Maintenance Access
Adequate clearance around the chiller set is essential to facilitate maintenance and service. Required minimum
clearances are tabulated under “Water Cooled Chiller Clearances” on page 18, please ensure that adequate space
for all installation and service operations is allowed. Check that the minimum clearance complies with all local
electrical codes.
Each compressor weighs approximately 140 kilograms. It is advised that sufficient access be provided for rigging
equipment and also is allowed for a small trolley to easily be brought alongside the chiller, to allow for future
service and maintenance needs.

SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
Nameplates
Nameplates are located in various locations on the chiller.
Figure 1: Chiller Nameplate
The chiller unit nameplate is located inside the control
cabinet door and contains both a model and serial number.
Both of these numbers are unique to the particular chiller
and help identify it. These numbers should be used to
identify the chiller for service, parts and warranty enquiries.
Check that the information on the chiller nameplate is
consistent with the chiller ordered.
Figure 2: Evaporator/Condenser Nameplate
Both the evaporator and condenser have nameplates. These
plates have serial numbers which identifies the individual
vessels, but not the entire unit. These plates also provide the
year of manufacture, the rated pressures, and operating
temperature ranges of the vessels.
Each compressor also has a nameplate. These nameplates
help identify the individual compressors. The serial number
on these plates should be used when identifying the
compressor in question for any service, parts or warranty Figure 3: Compressor Nameplate
enquiries.
To obtain some replacement parts it may be necessary to
quote the Model Number, Serial Number, and Part Number
which are found on the above plates.

Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt of the chiller it should be inspected immediately for any possible damage and checked thoroughly to
ensure that everything is complete. The unit should be carefully inspected for damage to the evaporator
insulation, broken wires, and loose piping and bolts. If damage is suspected immediately perform a leak test, and
repair any leaks if found. If damage is detected, or the shipment is incomplete, immediately file a claim with the
shipping company and notify PowerPax‐Smardt.
Upon receipt confirm that the unit received is the unit that was ordered. Compare the chiller nameplate with the
specifications on the order.
Do not remove any packing materials until the chiller is in its final position as moving the unit without the
packaging may result in damage, which will not be covered by the PowerPax‐Smardt warranty.
Confirm that all accessories ordered with the chiller have been supplied. Report any shortages to PowerPax‐
Smardt immediately.

Installation
Unit Placement
Before placing the unit, consult the Chiller Dimensions and Weight Table (Table 1) and Chiller Clearances Table
(Table 2) to confirm that there is adequate room for all connections and to service the chiller. Install the chiller on
approved anti‐vibration mounts. Each corner should be supported on vibration eliminators and steel plates or
suitably isolated from the plant room floor. Generally waffle pads are considered suitable as the PowerPax‐Smardt
chiller is virtually vibration free. PowerPax‐Smardt does not recommend the use of spring isolators. The chiller
should be protected from excessive ground or pipe borne vibration from external sources such as pumps.
Once installed, remove the rigging equipment and check for longitudinal and transverse alignment. Add shims, if
necessary, to level the unit along both axis. Obtaining a 0 incline along the x and y axis is important. The following
tables contain the dimensions and clearances required for the standard PowerPax‐Smardt Water Cooled range.
Please confirm these for each specific job, even if the model number matches as dimensions are subject to change
in accordance with our continuous development policy.

Rigging Requirements
Care must be exercised at all times when rigging or handling the new chiller to protect it from damage. Where
possible, all packaging and protection should be left in place until the chiller is in its final position. Care should be
taken to ensure that slings do not damage the compressors or control cabinets.
Four rigging points (two at each end) are provided on the evaporator tube sheet corners. The chiller’s centre of
gravity must be considered when rigging to ensure that the chiller is secure and balanced when suspended. A
spreader bar / I‐beam combination should be used to safely position the chiller into its final location. When lifting
the unit always ensure that the slings are of the correct lifting capacity. The PowerPax‐Smardt units should not be
lifted from any points other than the lifting points on the tube sheet corners.
PowerPax‐Smardt is not responsible for the rigging and placement of the unit. PowerPax‐Smardt strongly
recommends that a specialized company unloads the machine.
Local codes and regulations regarding the lifting of this equipment may apply. Always ensure that these codes are
adhered to.
The rigging details are shown below in Figure 5: Rigging Diagram. Refer to Table 2: Water Cooled Chiller
Clearances on page 18 for the Centre of Gravity information.

Piping Configurations and Flow Connections
The evaporator and condenser have Victaulic Type stubs (unless specified as flanged) for connection to the
external water circuits.
All external piping must be adequately supported and aligned to prevent strain and distortion on the chiller
headers and couplings. See Table 3 for piping connections and typical flow configurations. Please consult the
specific chillers specification sheet for exact Flows and Pressure Drops.
Table 3: Evaporator Piping Connections and Flow Configurations
32
SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
Minimum Water Loop Volumes
In the evaporator and condenser water circuits there is a minimum water volume requirement of 3.5 litres per
cooling kilowatt (kWr) for all air conditioning applications and 7 litres per cooling kilowatt (kWr) for all process
cooling applications. Non‐comfort cooling applications should be checked for recommended loop volume with
sales@powerpax.com.au. Recommendations are available from our office for placement of peripheral items
including chilled water bypass and inertia tank systems.
Evaporator Water Circuits
The chiller performance and efficiency can be adversely affected by contaminants in the water circuit. Such
contaminants may impede or block the flow of water
through the circuit or reduce heat exchanger
performance.
Strainers should be located on the inlet side of the
evaporator. Return water to the chiller must be
connected to the lower connection of the evaporator.
All external water piping must be cleaned or flushed
before being connected to the chiller set.
The water circuits should be arranged so that the
pumps discharge through the evaporator, and should
be controlled as necessary to maintain essentially
constant chiller water flows through the unit at all
load conditions. Figure 29: Water Circuits
Flow Detection Devices
Flow switches or pressure differential switches are required to be fitted in the evaporator and condenser water
piping. These switches must be wired into the chiller controller in order to shut down the chiller in the event of
reduced or no flow to guard the evaporator from the potential of freezing. If flow detection devices are not
installed, warranty on the chiller will be void. An interlock from a pump is not sufficient as a safety device. These
switches should be adjusted to open and therefore shut down the chiller when the flow decreases to below 70% of
design flow (l/s) or 50% of the design pressure drop (KPa).
If the chiller has been designed for Variable Chilled Water flow, or variable condenser water flow, please confirm
the appropriate cut off point with PowerPax‐Smardt.
33
SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
Relief Valves
As a precaution and to meet safety code requirements each PowerPax‐Smardt water cooled chiller comes with
pressure relief valves fitted to both the evaporator and condenser vessels to relieve excess refrigerant pressure to
the atmosphere in case of equipment malfunction. Most codes require that pressure relief valves be vented to the
outside of a building to prevent oxygen displacement which can lead to asphyxiation. At least two valves on each
vessel are provided, with a change over manifold for service.
Control Field Wiring
Figure 30: PowerPax Controller
The primary chiller control functions are implemented via a Carel ®
PLC with PowerPax‐Smardt proprietary software, which controls the
chiller water temperature, interlocks, and provides an interface to
the building system. These connections are made via a 24 volt
terminal strip inside the control cabinet.
Control wiring connections for the Carel controller only are
tabulated in Table 4.
Consult Figure 31 for wiring diagram (page 38).

Installation
Disconnects and Power Wiring
Mains wiring is brought to a single connection point. All power wiring upstream of this point is the responsibility of
the installing contractor. Ensure that a qualified electrician is used at all times.
WARNING!
To prevent injury or death, disconnect and isolate all electrical power sources before completing wiring
connections to the unit. Wait at least 15 minutes after isolating power before removing compressor access
covers.
The mains power supply is brought into the power cabinet from either the top or the bottom of the cabinet and is
connected to the mains bus bars. Correct Phase rotation should be observed. A dedicated Earth / Ground must
also be connected to the ground bus bar inside this same cabinet.
All wiring must be installed in accordance with appropriate local and national electrical codes and will require a
circuit breaker or fuses to protect main wiring from the final distribution sub board to the unit.
It is important that the voltage to the PowerPax‐Smardt units is within +/‐10% of the nameplate voltage, and the
voltage unbalance between phases must not exceed 2%. Any imbalance between phase voltage of more than 2%
or more than 10% of the current will be considered neglect and will void the PowerPax‐Smardt chiller warranty. If
this occurs, contact your local electricity supplier and ensure that the chiller is turned off until this has been
rectified.
To prevent control malfunctions, do not run low voltage wiring (<30V) in conduit with conductors carrying more
than 30 volts. It is recommended that the control wiring is run in screened cable and grounded as it enters the
control panel. The supply wiring should carry 3 phase + earth + neutral (for control purposes.)
Table 5: Chiller Electrical Data on the following page contains the PowerPax‐Smardt chiller electrical data. Table 6
outlines the lug sizes.
36
SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
Note: A neutral is required for control purposes. The load is essentially a balanced 3 phase load and the
neutral may be run in the minimum allowable cable size relative to the 3 phase mains.
37
SCWIOMM0001.10
Installation
Circuit Breakers
The chiller is equipped with a circuit breaker for each compressor. Isolating these circuit breakers does not isolate
the incoming power supplied to the chiller. To conduct any work involving accessing the circuit breakers or the
incoming power connections to the chiller, power must be isolated and tagged as per local regulations and safe
work practices at the Mechanical Services board supplying the chiller.
Line Reactor / RFI Filters
PowerPax‐Smardt supply each chiller with a line reactor and RFI filter per compressor as standard. These come
pre‐wired from the factory. They are located in the separate panel on the chiller electrically between the circuit
breakers and the compressor. The use of the line reactor and RFI filter help improve the power quality going to the
compressors.

Operation
System Checks Before Start Up
Chiller Checks
Before powering up the PowerPax‐Smardt chiller, check for any signs of damage. If damage is discovered, contact
PowerPax‐Smardt immediately to report it.
Ensure that all refrigerant valves are open including suction, discharge, motor cooling and liquid line valves.
Electrical Checks:
Note: Below checks must be performed with the power OFF. Removal of covers with power applied
will result in exposure to high voltages. Failure to have power off may result in electrocution.
Check all control connections in control cabinet. Check the wiring diagram for control wiring.
Check all mains electrical connections. Ensure that there is a neutral and an earth present and both have been
connected to the appropriate bus bar in the electrical cabinet as these are essential for correct operation of the
unit. Tighten terminals if needed.
Remove the line reactor enclosure covers and check electrical connections for tightness. Replace line reactor
enclosure covers.
Compressor Checks:
Note: The below checks must be performed with the power OFF. Removal of covers with power
applied will result in exposure to high voltages. Failure to have power off may result in electrocution.
Remove the top cover from the compressor, remove the four screws, near the motor bus bars, holding the
softstart board in place. Turn the softstart over and check the four fuses are securely in place and in good working
order (See Figure 33 on the following page for softstart fuse locations).

SCGWCIOMM0001.10
Maintenance
Figure 33: Softstart Fuse Locations
Check all screws for tightness and check all electrical plugs are fitted correctly. Refit top cover when all checks have
been completed.
Remove the side covers from the compressors and check the Serial Driver and BMCC boards are firmly seated onto
the backplane board (see Figure 34), check all electrical plugs are fitted correctly. Refit the compressor side covers
once the compressor tests have been completed.

Powering up Compressors
Check with the electrical contractor and request that power be turned on to the chiller. Once all the covers have
been replaced on the compressor, and the electrician has turned on the power, power can be turned on to the
compressors.
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Do NOT power up compressors with the compressor top covers
removed.
Compressors should be powered up one at a time. Compressors are turned on by switching the allocated circuit
breaker.

Note: Because of PowerPax‐Smardt’s continual development policy and the variances in chiller models wiring schematics are likely to change. Please contact
PowerPax‐Smardt for job‐specific wiring schematics.
The PowerPax‐Smardt controller has the following inputs:
Remote on/off switch (Cooling call)
Evaporator water flow switch
Condenser water flow switch
Refrigerant Leak Detector Interlock (activated by software)
All of the above inputs will enable/disable the controller. Refer to the electrical schematics for correct
input configuration. Digital inputs that are not used should be bridged.
Analog chiller water set‐point offset (0 – 10 vdc at B6)
Analog demand from BAS (0 – 10 vdc at B6) – external demand should must be selected in lieu of input PI
(configurable within software but not recommended)
Digital input to hold compressor N and higher offline (N is selectable)
Analog (0 ~ 10 vdc) input to set maximum demand from the BAS

SCGWCIOMM0001.10
Maintenance
The PowerPax‐Smardt controller has the following inbuilt outputs:
Chilled water pump contacts (close if ON and cooling cool _ID‐1&ID‐4). Output contacts are (J22‐NO 17)
Condenser water pump contacts (closed with compressor run)
Alarm changeover contacts announce alarm state not reset or loss of control power
Analog (0~10 VDC) = 0 ~100% demand (at Y5)
Analog (0 ~ 10 VDC) for head pressure control by VSD (at Y6)
Head Pressure Control Option
The PowerPax‐Smardt Carel Controller is equipped with built in Head Pressure control, available via High Level
Interface, or via an analogue output (0 ‐ 10 VDC) connected to Y5 or Y6 (configured during commissioning).
The analogue output is only available providing there are four or less compressors on the chiller; however the high
level output (BAS Communications) is always available.
This control is not designed to optimise the plant efficiency, and should not be utilised as such, as the chiller is not
monitoring sufficient data points such as the relative humidity to make such decisions.
The primary purpose of this output is to optimise the condenser water temperatures to be suitable for the
demands of the chiller, such as in startup, and low load conditions. This is achieved through the proportional
control of a valve or similar mechanism to affecting the head pressure.
The following items could be controlled by this output.
Variable Speed Cooling Tower Fan
Cooling Tower Bypass Valve
Variable Speed Condenser Water Pump
This should be configured during chiller commissioning by a PowerPax‐Smardt technician, or by a PowerPax‐
Smardt certified Service Provider..
Summary of Status Contacts
The PowerPax‐Smardt controller provides a set of change over contacts which sends a signal to the external BAS
indicating that either a fault condition is in existence (X12‐X11) or that the chiller is running (X10‐X11), however
only one condition can be indicated at any one time. The X12 contact is closed to indicate the power is off (there is
no control power to the Carel controller) or that there is a fault requiring a manual reset. These contacts close on
shunt trip, high pressure or low pressure trip (both of which require the fault to be manually reset). The Fault
contact will also close if the auto‐reset alarm count has been reached, or if a compressor fault has not auto‐reset
within the designated time, which therefore could result in the available compressors on the chiller continuing to
run despite the run status contact opening. E.g. On a 3 compressor chiller, if one compressor cannot be reset, the
fault signal will close, opening the run status, however the other 2 compressors will continue to run until the
cooling call is removed from the chiller.

pressing the ESC key. This is an overview of the systems main parameters, such as the Setpoint, the Return Chilled
Water Temperature, Leaving Chilled Water Temperature, the Return Condenser Water Temperature, and Leaving
Condenser Water Temperature in addition to the System Demand and the Suction and Discharge Pressures.
The top line (displayed as “System on Auto”) provides further information. It may display one of the following
messages, however only one message is possible at any time:
“System On Auto” – The chiller is in its normal operating state. (“‐ALARM” if there is an alarm present)
“Remote OFF (or Internal time clock)” ‐ No input on X2 detected or the time clock has the chiller OFF
“Refrigerant Leak” – This is a response to an optional external signal which Initiates a refrigerant leak
response if the chiller is configured for pump‐out.
“No Evaporator Flow” – the interlock from the evaporator flow switch is open, or the flow rate is too high.
“No Condenser Flow” – the interlock from the condenser flow switch is open, or the flow rate is too high.
“Keypad OFF (or Hi Water Temp Al)” – the chiller has been turned off using this screen, (or the water
temperatures are above 50C)
“OFF Cycle Delay” ‐ Minimum off timer is running (default of 180seconds)
“Manual Demand” ‐ Service intervention ‐ manual control
“Auto Reset Delay” – the controller is counting down to automatically reset the compressor fault.
“Below Restart Temp or Ambient T lockout” ‐ Return chilled water or ambient temperature too low
“Stage Delay” ‐ Inter‐stage timer delaying the next compressor start.
“HP Fault” – Condenser Pressure too high (system 1 if twin system)
“LP Fault” – Evaporator Pressure too low (system 1 if twin system)
“Freeze Alarm” ‐ Leaving Chilled Water Temperature was below the anti‐freeze set point
“LCWT Sensor Fault” ‐ Controller has detected a bad reading in the Leaving Chilled Water Temp Sensor
“Assisting Start” ‐ A compressor is about to start after the system has done a Pressure Ratio adjustment
“Bad MB Compressors” ‐ If using the optional ModBus control of compressors, and the data is interrupted
between the compressors and controller this will cause a resettable fault.
“Wait Compressors” ‐ Waiting at start for compressors to be ready (normally seen after power off)
