 Modular Tempering Units

MTC Models
Cruisair Modular Tempering Units are designed to provide
installation flexibility, maximum performance and reliability, and
accessibility for easy maintenance and repair.
The reverse cycle tempering unit cools or heats the
circulated water loop. Units are available in capacities of 24,000-
120,000 BTU/Hr (2 to 10 tons), and multiple modules can be used
in any combination to achieve the total desired capacity. Custom
frame and water manifold installation for multiple units is also
available.
Cruisair units have extremely large heat exchangers that make it
possible to achieve loop water temperatures of 40° F (4.4° C) in
cooling, and 120° F (49° C) in heating. This also allows for reverse
cycle heating effectiveness in seawater temperatures as low as
38° F (3.5° C), eliminating the need for separate fossil fuel or
electric water heaters in most applications.

Each tempering unit is made up of two sub-modules, identical in
dimensions, which allows a sub-module to be rotated to achieve
more convenient water connection locations or compressor
access. The sub modules can even be separated for remote

 Compact Tempering Unit

New for 2006

Cruisair TWC Compact Tempering Unit

Cruisair's new TWC Compact is a high performance,

cost effective Tempering Unit that provides all the
advantages of a chilled water system while maintain-
ing the performance levels associated with the Crui-
sair name. The reverse cycle TWC chiller cools and
heats, and is currently available in 24,000 BTU/hr (2-
ton) and 36,000 BTU/hr (3-ton) sizes. Multiple units
can be installed to achieve the required total capacity.

All TWC chillers come with R-410A refrigerant, which

is the preferred environmentally-friendly refrigerant
used in modern high efficiency air conditioning sys-
tems. The brazed platecoil evaporator and coaxial
cupronickel seawater condenser allow for superior
cooling and heating performance.

Each unit includes a chilled water flow switch, high

and low refrigerant pressure switches, and inlet and
outlet CW temperature sensors. Note that this TWC
chiller does not include a chilled water modulating flow
TWC24CK control. This means that air handlers with or without
flow controls can be used, though on larger boats we
always recommend using flow controlled air handlers

 Tempered Water Logic Control

TWLC System
The Tempered Water Logic Control (TWLC) is an advanced microprocessor
chiller control specifically designed for marine circulated water systems. The
TWLC system maximizes system performance, protects the chillers with
advanced fault protection monitoring and shut-down routines, and has easy
menu-driven operation supplying the user with important system information.
System redundancy and easy field repair were the priorities when the
TWLC was developed. Each chiller in a TWLC system has a dedicated
power/logic board, and the boards are networked together to form an
integrated system (automatically controlling up to 6 chillers). This design
means that a single board or network failure will not shut down the entire
system. The P/L board has board-mounted LEDs to help with troubleshoot-
ing, replaceable EPROM for software upgrades, and plug-in terminal strips
MPE Multi-Unit Control Panel Shown and RJ-12 jacks which allow for quick field installation.
Interaction with the system is through the TWLC keypad/display. A simple 4-button keypad is
used to change operation mode and to navigate through the menus to view and change system
parameters. A backlit LCD display supplies easy to read information about the system, including
water temperatures, operation mode, which chillers are running, and other detailed information.
Three small LEDs on the keypad clearly indicate Cool or Heat modes, and faults. An alarm buzzer
on the keypad can also signal a fault. Additional TWLC keypads can be installed to allow remote
system access.
Set up and operation of the TWLC is fully automatic. It senses how many units are connected and
programs the temperature staging and unit rotation of the units to pre-programmed parameters.
The TWLC board has non-volatile memory so settings and recorded information are not lost even
if power is interrupted. The large memory capacity allows the TWLC to record run time of the
MPE-XC Single-Unit Control Panel compressors and pumps, and store the fault history of each unit.
(Shown with TWLC keypad/display
mounted in door) Another feature of the TWLC is that it can be connected to an on-board computer or modem to
allow full remote access of the system. Custom software emulates the TWLC on the computer
screen and navigation through the menus is identical to the TWLC keypad/display. If a land phone line is available, a modem can
be connected and the system can be viewed and operated remotely, allowing a knowledgeable service agent to troubleshoot the
system anywhere in the world.

 SINGLE-UNIT and MULTI-UNIT CONTROL PANELS

The TWLC system is available in 2 different control panel options, single-unit panels and multi-unit panels. Single-unit panels are
less expensive than multi-unit panels and can often be fit in spaces where a large multi-unit panel won’t fit. They are also typically
in stock for quick delivery. Single-unit panels are often the answer for refit jobs where the vessel’s power panel already has break-
ers for each chiller and pump.

Multi-unit panels are custom built for each system with circuit breakers and contactors for up to 6 chillers and the circulation and
seawater pumps. Installation is easier than with single-unit panels because separate pump relays are not needed, all the network
and high-voltage wiring is provided, and only one power input from the vessel is required. With all the P/L boards, breakers, relays,
etc. in one location, a multi-unit panel is more convenient to the user.

Single-Unit Panels
The MPE-XC will work with either 230V 1-phase compressors, or 230V – 460V 3-phase compressors. The control circuit is 230V
1ph, and a separate power feed is required on 380-460V systems. The MPE-VXC has the same features, but is for use with a
variable frequency drive (VFD).

The MPE single-unit panel includes the P/L board, compressor contactor (or relay), 10 ft (3m) wire harness, control circuit fuses,
and a short CNP cable to connect to a TWLC keypad/display.

In addition to the MPE single-unit panels (one per chiller), the system will require: one TWLC keypad/display, CNP network
cables (one per panel), pump relays (for circulation and seawater pumps), and one temperature sensor to monitor the common
loop water supply. The TWLC keypad can be installed in the door of the panel, or installed remotely (with a CNP cable). Multiple
TWLC keypads (up to one per board) can be installed if desired.

All of the optional inputs can be added to MPE single unit panels, and there is a location for a compressor current transducer
in the panel. Temperature sensor wells are also available for the common loop water supply sensor, and for the seawater out
sensors.

MPE Multi-Unit Control Panel Dimensional information

MPE Multi-Unit Panels

Custom multi-unit panels provide breakers and relays for the compressors and pumps all on one chassis. This allows the in-
staller to bring in one power feed for the complete system, and there are no separate pump relays to install, and many options
can be built into the panel.
Each multi-unit panel includes a TWLC keypad mounted in the door, fusing for the control circuit, a transformer on 380-460V
panels for the control power, and a wire harness to connect to the chillers.
Since each multi-panel is custom built , there are many options available:
• Spare Pump Switch – Selector switches can be added for backup (spare) pumps.
• Multiple Power Inputs – Up to 3 power blocks can be installed to help divide the chiller and pump loads.
• Auxiliary Water Heater – If an auxiliary water heater is desired, the panel can be built with the appropriate breakers and
contactors to control the heater.
• Fault Output Relay – A set of “dry” contacts can be installed to operate an alarm on the vessel’s monitoring system.
• Longer Wire Harness – The standard harness is 10 ft (3m) but longer harnesses are available, up to 30 ft (9m).
• Frame Mounted Panel – If a framed chiller is ordered, the panel can be mounted on the frame.
• Load Shedding – Terminals can be provided in the panel to allow a load-shedding system to remotely shut down individual
chillers.
In addition to the options above, two different upgrade packages are available for multi-unit panels.
The Level 1 upgrade package adds current transducers for the compressors and pumps, seawater out temperature sensors in
each chiller, a common seawater inlet temperature sensor, and the computer and modem adapters.
The Level 2 package includes all items in Level 1, plus: high and low refrigerant pressure transducers for each chiller, a seawa-
ter pressure transducer (to install on the discharge of the seawater pump) and a loop water pressure transducer (to install on the
inlet of the loop water pump).
 FAULTS

The system monitors all the inputs and will display 12 different faults based on the information received. Each fault has a
specific routine that protects the unit while helping to prevent nuisance faults. Some will generate a sustained
shutdown, which must be reset from the TWLC keypad.

If a fault is sensed, the fault LED on the TWLC keypad will light (and the buzzer will sound, if activated) and the specific fault
will be displayed on the LCD screen. The fault signal output on the P/L boards will also be powered.

The faults monitored by the system are:

•High Refrigerant Pressure •Seawater Temperature Differential
•Low Refrigerant Pressure •Auxiliary Heater High Limit
•Loop Water Flow Switch •Temperature Sensor Fault
•Loop Water Temperature Differential •Low Control Voltage
•Loop Water High Temperature Limit •Network Fault
•Seawater Out Low Limit •EPROM Error

 Var iable Frequency Drive

VFD Models
A variable frequency drive eliminates the large starting
inrush current of the compressor by ramping up voltage and
frequency in a controlled time period. This allows running on
limited dockside power, and also protects the generator from
overload.
In addition to eliminating inrush, the VFD will also run a
compressor at 60Hz, even when input power is 50Hz, which
allows full BTU capacity performance (230V only). The drive
also protects the compressor by monitoring input voltage and
output current, and will shut down if a power supply problem is
sensed.
The VFD unit produces a modified sine wave output for
smooth acceleration and running, with precise frequency
resolution. It is designed to operate in extreme environments,
such as an engine room. It can withstand harsh vibrations,
temperatures up to 122° F (50° C), and a maximum relative
humidity of 93%. However, the enclosure is ventilated, and
must be kept dry. Any direct water contact can damage the
unit.
VFD Unit Shown Built-in noise filters are standard and the VFD is CE
approved. The Square D/Telemecanique Altivar 31 VFDs
incorporate a class A EMC filter into their design. This helps
prevent high frequency noise and harmonic distortions from
affecting the AC power supply to which the drives are
Features connected. If you have an application or a power system that
requires even lower noise and lower distortion, then we
recommend you purchase then class B EMC filters specifically
• Eliminates compressor start inrush current designed to fit with the entire family of Altivar 31 VFDs.
• 208/230V 3 phase output, with 1-phase or 3-phase A LED display allows the user to monitor operation and
input faults. The VFD is pre-programmed from the factory and no
further setup is required.
• Full 60Hz capacity even at 50Hz input (230V only)
• Low electronic noise, CE approved VFD Selection:

• 400/480V 3-phase models available The tempering unit must have a 3-phase compressor to
operate with a VFD. Each unit will need a dedicated frequency
drive, which is selected to handle the compressor power.
On 208/230V systems, the VFD can “convert” single-phase
input power to 3-phase output, but at a reduced capacity.

Notes:
1. 208-230V VFDs will produce a 60Hz output, even with a 50Hz input. This allows 60Hz compressors to produce full capacity in 50Hz systems.
2. High voltage (380-480V) VFDs can be used at 380-420V 50Hz, or 440-480V 60Hz. At these higher voltages the VFD output frequency should
by the same as the input.

 Tempered Water Pumps

Seawater and Circulating Pumps

Cruisair specifies reliable, heavy-duty water pumps for
use in the seawater and circulated water systems. All
pumps are centrifugal, with bronze and stainless compo-
nents.
Pumps are available with 115/230V single-phase, or 230/
460 3-phase, dual voltage motors. Most are rated for 50/60
Hz use, but special 50 Hz only pumps are also available for
full performance.
Circulation pumps are sized for the total loop capacity.
P7800B3X, PH3000BX-SP & P3600B3X Seawater Pumps Shown Cruisair design specification is 3 gpm (11.4 lpm) per 12,000
Btu/hr capacity, rated at 40 feet (12.2 meters) head.
Seawater pumps are selected for the tempering unit
capacity, at 250 gph (15.8 lpm) per 12,000 Btu/hr.
Self-priming seawater pumps are available for installa-
tions where the pump cannot be mounted below the water
line, or if air is able to enter the system such as on a
sailboat or high speed craft.
Pump relays are used to control each pump. The circula-
tion pump must run whenever the system is cooling or
heating, and the seawater pump is typically cycled with the
tempering units.
Single-phase pumps have internal overload protection.
CPOD80BX, CPOD500B3X & CPOD120BX Circulating Pumps Shown An external overload relay should be used with 3-phase
pumps.

 Tempered Water Accessories

Spirotop and Spirovent

The Spirotop is an automatic air bleed valve which can be installed at the
highest point in the circulated water system, on individual air handlers where
the manual bleed is difficult to access, or any local high point which makes
bleeding the system difficult. Spirotops help simplify initial bleeding of the
circulated water system, and also prevent air traps forming anywhere they are
installed. The unique separate float chamber design helps prevent leaks due
to valve contamination. Connection size is 1/2" FPT.
The Spirovent is a device that removes entrapped air from the circulated
water loop. A specially designed wire mesh will remove “micro-bubbles” of air
that are carried with the moving water.
When properly sized and installed, the Spirovent will actually bleed the
entire system in a short period of time. This works because the water that
exits the Spirovent is so devoid of air that it will pick up air from other parts of
the loop and carry it back to the Spirovent to be removed.
Spirovents work best when installed at low pressure points in the system,
where the water flow rate is near or below the design rate of the Spirovent.
Typical locations are the inlet of the circulation pump, or in the return line of
EXT120, Spirovent, Spirotop, backflow preventer, and the highest group of air handlers, where it also doubles as a main system
pressure regulator/relief valve shown bleed. Two different capacities of Spirovents are available; 15 gpm (60,000
Btu/hr) and 30 gpm (120,000 Btu/hr). Spirovents can be used in parallel for
larger capacity systems.

 AT Air Handlers

Cruisair introduces the new “AT” line of Tempered

Water air handlers. These are draw-though (ducted) units
that replace the CBU, CBBL, and CHBBL models, and
have many improvements and options over the existing
units.
Significant improvements include: sloped “Positive-
Flow” drain pan which reduces standing water, larger
drain connections, improved coil design for better cooling
and dehumidifying performance, coil is offset from drain
pan edge to ensure all condensation is caught in the pan,
redesigned piping so the bypass valve is clear of dripping
condensation, pressure test ports for troubleshooting, and
the new 24,000 BTU/Hr unit uses a high-efficiency,

 CBLB Air Handlers

The CBLB series is a low profile, ductable air handler with built-in
bypass valve and twin high-efficiency blowers. It can be installed in a
limited height enclosure, with discharge air ducted to grills high in the
cabin, or mounted in an overhead space with return and discharge
through the ceiling.
Units are available in capacities of 18,000 and 24,000 Btu/hr. They
can be used with any circulated water system. Capacity will vary with
water temperature.
The squirrel cage blower housings are insulated, and can be rotated
so the discharge air can be easily ducted. The high-efficiency PSC
(permanent split capacitor) motor is internal to the blower wheel and
housing. The result is a quiet unit with excellent performance and good
speed control, especially when used with a Cruisair SMX series
control.
CBLBL24C Air Handler Shown
CBLB air handlers are equipped with a built-in 3-way bypass valve,
which controls the flow of loop water through or around the coil. This
permits cabin temperature to be maintained independent of blower
speed. The bypass valve has brass and stainless steel components,
and a removable powerhead for simple servicing. A loop water
changeover thermostat is also included.
Features Each CBLB unit also includes a modulating loop water flow control
to ensure proper water distribution to all air handlers. When used with
a Cruisair Modular Tempering Unit, a completely “balanced” system is

even when the tempering system is the cooling mode. When used with
a SMX series control, a separate humidistat can be added to provide
controlled dehumidification.
Units with electric heat have 2-stage temperature over limit control,
as well as an interior lining of high temperature insulation to meet
ABYC code.
Cruisair air handlers can be used with a rotary-knob switch assem-
bly, or with either the SMX II or SMX Net microprocessor control
systems and an SMXir keypad/display. The SMX II or SMX Net
power/logic box must be ordered separately.

 Tempered Water
Bypass Valve Assemblies

The BPAH-series bypass valve assembly controls the flow of

circulated water through the air handling unit by:
• switching the water off and on
• regulating the rate of water flow

This permits the cabin temperature to be maintained independent

of blower speed.
Standard BPAH units are available in capacities of 3,000 to
24,000 Btu/hr, with valve motors in 115 or 230 V.
Each BPAH unit also includes a modulating flow control valve to
ensure proper water distribution to all air handlers. When used with
a Cruisair Modular Tempering Unit, a completely “balanced”
system is possible where each component receives the design flow
rate of water. This eliminates the tedious job of trying to maximize
performance by adjusting valves at each air handler.
The unit consists of a bypass valve, flow control valve, isolation
valves, change-over thermostat and electrical connections. The
water connections are fitted with FPT adapters for ease of installa-
BPAH6C Shown tion. A full-length condensate drip tray with antifungal, anti-slosh
foam is standard. The entire unit can be reversed on the mounting
base to accommodate water flow in either direction.
Features
Cruisair recommends that a BPAH unit be used with all air
handlers that do not have a built-in bypass valve assembly. Alter-

 AT-MU Fresh Air Makeup Air Handlers

AT-MU air handlers are designed for use in fresh air

make-up (FAMU) systems where outside air is drawn in
by the air handler, cooled, dehumidified, and reheated to
room temperature, and then ducted to various areas in
the vessel.
The unit consists of a water coil, valve, electric heater,
and a blower mounted on a condensate pan/chassis with
rubber isolation mounting feet.
A specially designed water coil cools and dehumidifies
the outside air in one pass, and is coated, along with the
blower and sheet metal, to prevent corrosion. A motor-
ized 3-way bypass valve controls the flow of circulated
water through the coil. The high static pressure blower
has a high-efficiency internal motor, and can be rotated
as required for installation. An electric heater, with
AT36MU and AT24MU
redundant over-temperature protections, is included to
reheat the cooled air up to a comfortable temperature.
Features The sloped “Positive-Flow” condensate pan reduces
standing water, and is lined with anti-fungal, anti-slosh
foam. An optional modulating loop-water flow control

 Tempered Water
SMX Series Control Systems

Cruisair offers two different SMX microprocessor control systems for use
with tempered water (TW) air conditioning systems. SMX II offers the
standard operational and safety features required for most systems. SMX
Net adds networking capability and other special features that make it
unique in the industry. The SMX II or SMX Net power/logic module is sold
separately and wires to the air handler junction box with the supplied 3 ft.
(.9m) wire harness. Either system can be retrofitted in the field to replace
an electromechanical switch assembly. The SMXir keypad/display and
optional SMXir remote is used on both SMX II and SMX Net systems.
Normal operation consists of simply turning the system on by pressing
the RUN button and adjusting the desired cabin temperature setpoint. A
change-over thermostat on the air handler monitors the water temperature
to tell the SMX control whether the system is in cooling or heating. Fan
speed is automatically controlled (fan speed decreases as room tempera-
ture approaches setpoint), or the fan speed can be set manually. Either
system will control air handlers with auxiliary electric heat.
Many of the factory settings can be changed to allow the user to fine-tune
the system to best match the boat and personal preferences. (See the
chart on the back for a list of programmable functions.)
A nonvolatile memory retains current operation mode and all program-
mable settings when power is turned off or lost, such as when changing
from generator to dock power.
SMXir Keypad ( 3/4) door /Display with Remote Control
In addition to all the standard SMX function listed above, the SMX Net
system allows multiple units to be networked together for central control.
Each unit in the network has a unique ID number, and any unit can be accessed and controlled from any other control in the
network. SMX Net also permits one unit to be “slaved” to another so that only one keypad can be used to control multiple units in
a large cabin. Additional SMX Net features include outside temperature display, 2-speed fan control, and an optional SMX Net
Convenience Panel, from which the entire network can be easily controlled with a single keystroke to go into one of four pro-
grammed modes.

SMXir Display
The SMXir keypad/display has an attractive, compact housing with easy surface-mount installation. A large, easy-to-read LED
display shows cabin temperature, setpoint, programming prompts, and fault code warnings, and small LED’s and backlit text
indicate system status. Under a decorative hinged door is the familiar SMX 10-button arrangement with clearly labeled keys for
single-keystroke operation. An optional infrared remote control is available that allows system adjustments to be made remotely.
The SMXir keypad/display can be used with either SMX II or SMX Net microprocessor control systems. A complete system
consists of a SMX II or SMX Power/Logic module (model PLTX-HV for SMX II, model NPLTX for SMX Net), an SMXir keypad/
display, a CXP connecting cable, and a TSEP temperature sensor. Additional components will be needed to network multiple
SMX Net units, including; CNP network cables, one TSEP temperature sensor for outside temperature, and the optional SMXir
Convenience Panel (the convenience panel kit includes an SMXir keypad/display connected to a SMXir Convenience panel with
a 2ft (0.61 m) ribbon cable: CCP2. A 4ft (2.1 m) ribbon cable: CCP4 is also available. The 4ft cable must be purchased
separately.).
Specifically designed for the marine environment, the SMXir features a plastic housing, sealed membrane keypad, and
electronics with anticorrosion coating. Housings are available in black or white, and with either a 3/4 or full coverage door.

 SMXht Keypad/Display
Cruisair introduces SMXht, the latest in our line of SMXII series keypad/displays. The SMXht is a microprocessor-based
controller designed for use with the SMX II-HV power/logic board. It is operable with both DX and TW systems and can be
retrofitted to existing SMXII type systems in the field. The control is dual 115/230 voltage and operates at 50 or 60 cycles.
Functionally, it is identical to our current SMXir keypad/display (sans remote), but is easier to program and operate.

The new SMXht is available in gray or white and has a sleek,

modern European design. Two popular decorative snap-on bezels,
Vimar® Idea or Gewiss® Playbus, are available for the keypad/display.
The Gewiss bezel snaps directly onto the display; the Vimar bezel
requires the use of two “wings” (included) to snap onto the display.
(Bezel styles are limited, and are sold separately.) The keypad/display
features raised buttons for easy access and control and an attractive,
blue backlit LCD. The blue LCD has three levels of brightness or a
programmable sleep mode in which the display is darkened automati-
cally when not in use. With these new features, programming and
operation is simple and easy. Installation is also uncomplicated; see
the back of this sheet for a detailed diagram.

Normal operation consists of simply turning the system on by

pressing the Power button and adjusting the desired cabin tempera-
SMXht shown with Vimar bezel ture setpoint. Fan speed is automatically controlled, (fan speed
decreases as room temperature approaches setpoint), or the fan
speed can be manually set. The modes available are: Cool, Heat, Auto
Switchover (automatically switches from Cool to Heat Mode), or Dehumidification Mode. The dehumidification mode can be
used to operate the system on a timed basis so that the boat will stay ventilated and dry even when no one is aboard. Aux
(electric) Heat Mode is available for TW systems.

SMXht offers the same outstanding a/c system protection as our other SMXII series controls. Line voltage and refrigerant
high and low pressure switches are constantly monitored. If a problem is detected, the system will shut down and display a
fault code on the keypad/display. A nonvolatile memory retains current operation mode and all programmable settings when
power is turned off or lost, such as when changing from generator to dock power. The programmable compressor time delay
function will prevent multiple units from starting at the same time when power is restored.

Many of the factory settings can be changed to allow the user to fine-tune the system to best match the boat and personal
preferences. (See the list of programmable functions.) A complete system consists of a power/logic module (the SMX II-HV),
keypad/display, CXP connecting cable and a TSEP temperature sensor.
