Variable speed capacity control elimi-
nates slide valves, their associated loss-
es, and their potential failure modes.
Component count (both rotating and
total) has been minimized assuring
maximum reliability under a wide
range of operating conditions.
High efficiency
Per AHRI 550/590, chillers operate at
design conditions less than one percent
of the time. As a result, superior part
load efficiency is required for today’s
chilled water applications. The Ever-
green® 23XRV screw chiller maximizes
chiller efficiency by optimizing com-
pressor operation. Electric power con-
sumption drops dramatically when the
motor speed slows. The 23XRV screw
chiller delivers industry-leading inte-
grated part load values (IPLV) in an ex-
tremely broad range of applications
and climates.
Environmental leader
Carrier has long been committed to
the environment and its sustainability.
The Evergreen 23XRV screw chillers
provide our customers with a high-
efficiency, chlorine-free, long-term
solution unaffected by refrigerant
phase outs. Carrier’s decision to utilize
non-ozone depleting HFC-134a refrig-
erant provides our customers with a
safe and environmentally sound
product without compromising effi-
ciency. In addition, HFC-134a was
given an A1 safety rating by ASHRAE
(American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers), meaning that it is the safest
refrigerant available.
Quality design
Positive displacement compres-
sion — Positive displacement com-
pression ensures stable operation
under all load conditions without the
possibility of compressor surge.
Superior oil management/cold
condenser water operation — All
Evergreen 23XRV chillers regulate oil
temperature, viscosity and pressure. A
patented process assures high quality
oil is delivered to the compressor bear-
ings by a positive displacement pump.
Bearing lubrication is assured, allowing
continuous operation with cold
condenser water at all loads. Screw
chillers no longer need to rely on dif-
ferential system pressure to effectively
lubricate the compressor. Should the
input power to the chiller be lost, the
system design assures proper lubrica-
tion of the bearings during coast down.
Small footprint — The Evergreen
23XRV chiller’s positive pressure
design reduces the chiller size by up
to 35% compared to negative-pressure
designs. Extremely high compression
efficiencies allow for compact,
high-efficiency chillers that require less
mechanical room floor space.
Constant or variable evaporator
flow — The 23XRV chiller combines
the advantages of positive displace-
ment compression with variable speed
capacity control. This process provides
a chiller that reacts substantially better
than chillers equipped with inlet guide
vanes or slide valves. This allows for
easier transition when bringing addi-
tional chillers on line in multiple chiller
plants and eliminates any possibility of
surge, regardless of the changes in the
system.
Low harmonic distortion — The
Evergreen 23XRV chiller will generate
less than 5% total harmonic distortion
at the input to the VFD (variable
frequency drive) without the use of
any external filters or line reactors.
This assures the VFD alone cannot
exceed the IEEE-519 standard for
distortion at the point of common
coupling. Ultra-low harmonics can
eliminate the need for complicated
harmonic system studies.
Low starting current (inrush) —
The inrush current is limited to the
chiller full load amps (rated load
amperes). No other starting means can
equal this level of starting current. The
combination of low current and ultra
low harmonics can reduce backup
generator size requirements.
0.99 power factor — The Ever-
green 23XRV chiller can operate at up
to 0.99 displacement power factor,
which helps building owners avoid
power factor penalties and decreases
electrical losses in cables and trans-
formers. High power factor may also
reduce KVA requirements, saving elec-
trical system costs on new projects or
freeing up electrical resources on exist-
ing systems operating near their maxi-
mum capacity.
Refrigerant-cooled VFD — Refrig-
erant cooling of the VFD minimizes
VFD size and ensures proper cooling
of the transistors for extended life.
Using R-134a refrigerant instead of
water also eliminates costly mainte-
nance associated with the water cool-
ing pump, heat exchanger and rubber
tubing used with water-cooled VFDs.
Optional seismic kit — A seismic
isolation package is available to meet
International Building Code and ASCE
7 seismic qualification requirements in
concurrence with ICC ES AC156 Ac-
ceptance Criteria for Seismic Qualifica-
tion by Shake-Table Testing of Non-
structural Components and Systems.
Hermetic motor — The Evergreen
23XRV chiller utilizes motors that are
hermetically sealed from the machine
room. Cooling is accomplished by
spraying liquid refrigerant on the
motor windings. This highly efficient
motor cooling method results in cooler-
running motors than could be realized
with air-cooled designs of the same
type.
In addition, Carrier’s hermetic de-
sign eliminates:
Compressor shaft seals that require
maintenance and increase the likeli-
hood of refrigerant leaks.

Machine room cooling requirements
associated with air-cooled motors,
which dissipate heat to the mechan-
ical room.
High noise levels common with air-
cooled motors, which radiate noise
to the machine room and adjacent
areas.
Shaft alignment problems that occur
with open-drive designs during start-
up and operation, when equipment
temperature variations cause ther-
mal expansion.
Positive pressure design — Posi-
tive pressure designs eliminate the
need for costly low pressure contain-
ment devices, reducing the initial cost
of the system. The Evergreen® 23XRV
chiller’s positive pressure design en-
sures that air, moisture and other per-
formance degrading contaminants are
not sucked inside the chiller. Purge
units and their associated mainte-
nance are no longer necessary.
Optional refrigerant isolation
valves — The optional refrigerant
isolation valves allow the refrigerant
to be stored inside the chiller during
shipment from the factory, minimizing
start-up time. During servicing, the
“in-chiller” storage reduces refrigerant
loss and eliminates time-consuming
transfer procedures. As a self-contained
unit, the Evergreen 23XRV chiller does
not require additional remote storage
systems.
Optional pumpdown unit — Com-
bined with the refrigerant isolation
valves listed above, the optional pump-
down unit eliminates complex connec-
tions to portable transfer systems,
thereby reducing service costs. The op-
tional pumpdown compressor meets
Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) vacuum level requirements that
mandate minimizing refrigerant emis-
sions during service.
Modular construction — The cool-
er, condenser, and compressor assem-
blies are bolted together, making Ever-
green 23XRV chillers ideally suited for
replacement jobs where ease of disas-
sembly and reassembly at the jobsite
are essential.
Single point power — The 23XRV
chiller features internal control power
transformers to provide low voltage
power (115 v and 24 vdc) for machine
controls. Simply connecting the three
input power leads to the VFD provides
all unit power.
Marine container shipment — The
compact design allows for open-top
container shipment to export destina-
tions, ensuring quality while reducing
shipping cost.
Heat exchanger combinations —
The Evergreen 23XRV chillers are
available with a complete line of heat
exchangers, ensuring the best combi-
nation of chiller components to meet
project specific tonnage and efficiency
requirements. One, 2 and 3-pass
arrangements are available to meet a
wide variety of flow conditions. Nozzle-
in-head and marine waterboxes are
available to meet 150 psig and
300 psig piping requirements.
Heat exchanger features
ASME certified construction — An
independent agency certifies the
design, manufacture, and testing of
all heat exchangers to American
Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) standards, ensuring heat ex-
changer safety, reliability and long life.
The ASME U-stamp is applied to the
refrigerant side of the evaporator and
condenser and is applied to the water
side of heat exchangers when 300 psig
marine water boxes are provided.
High performance tubing — Carrier’s
Evergreen chillers utilize advances in heat
transfer technology, providing compact,
high-efficiency heat exchangers. Tubing
with advanced internally and externally
enhanced geometry improves chiller per-
formance by reducing overall resistance
to heat transfer while reducing fouling.
Cooler tube expansion — Cooler
tube expansion at center support
sheets prevents unwanted tube move-
ment and vibration, thereby reducing
the possibility of premature tube fail-
ure. Tube wall thickness is greater at
the expansion location, support sheets,
and end tube sheets in order to provide
maximum strength and long tube life.
Double-grooved end tube sheet
holes — This design provides a more
robust seal than single rolled joints, re-
ducing the possibility of leaks between
the water and refrigerant sides of the
chiller.
Condenser baffleThe baffle de-
flects hot discharge gas before it con-
tacts condenser tubes, reducing tube
vibration and wear while distributing
refrigerant more evenly over the
length of the vessel for improved
efficiency.
Closely spaced intermediate sup-
port sheets — Support sheets pre-
vent tube sagging and vibration, there-
by increasing heat exchanger life.
Refrigerant filter isolation valves
These valves allow filter replace-
ment without pumping down the chill-
er, reducing service time and expense.
FLASC (flash subcooler) — The
subcooler, located in the bottom of the
condenser, increases the refrigeration
effect by cooling the condensed liquid
refrigerant to a lower temperature,
thereby reducing compressor power
consumption.
AccuMeter™ system — The
AccuMeter system regulates refrigerant
flow according to load conditions,
providing a liquid seal at all operating
conditions, eliminating unintentional
hot gas bypass.
Microprocessor controls
features
Direct Digital Product Integrated
control (PIC III) — Carrier’s PIC III
provides unmatched flexibility and
functionality. Each unit integrates
directly with the Carrier Comfort
Network® (CCN) system, providing a
solution to controls applications.
International Chiller Visual Con-
troller (ICVC) — The ICVC provides
an unparalleled ease of operation and
can be configured to display English or
metric values.
For convenience, a single display lo-
cated on the chiller VFD panel displays
chiller and VFD data. The VGA 320 x
240 element LCD (liquid crystal dis-
play) features 4 menu specific soft-
keys. The default display offers an
all-in-one glance review of key chiller
operation data, simplifying the interac-
tion between chiller and user.
The display includes 4 standard
languages:
•English
•Chinese
• Japanese
• Korean
Other languages are available.
Automatic capacity override —
This function unloads the compressor
whenever key safety limits are ap-
proached, increasing unit life. This
4
feature also allows the machine to
operate at reduced capacity, rather
than shut down, when key safety limits
are approached.
Chilled liquid reset — Reset can be
accomplished manually or automatical-
ly from the building management sys-
tem. For a given capacity, reset allows
operation at slower compressor
speeds, saving energy when warmer
chilled liquid can be used.
Demand limiting — This feature lim-
its the power draw of the chiller during
peak loading conditions. When incor-
porated into the Carrier Comfort
Network® building automation system,
a red line command holds chillers at
their present capacity and prevents any
other chillers from starting. If a load
shed signal is received, the compres-
sors are unloaded to avoid demand
charges whenever possible.
Ramp loading — Ramp loading en-
sures smooth pulldown of liquid loop
temperature and prevents a rapid
increase in compressor power con-
sumption during the pulldown period.
Automated controls test — The
test can be executed prior to start-up
to verify that the entire control system
is functioning properly.
365-day real time clock — This
feature allows the operator to program
a yearly schedule for each week, week-
ends, and holidays.
Occupancy schedules — Schedules
can be programmed into the controller
to ensure that the chiller operates
when cooling is required and remains
off when not needed by the tenants or
process.
Extensive service menuUnau-
thorized access to the service menu
can be prevented through password
protection. Built-in diagnostic capabili-
ties assist in troubleshooting and rec-
ommend proper corrective action for
preset alarms, resulting in greater
working time.
Alarm file — This file maintains the
last 25 time-and date-stamped alarm
messages in memory. This function re-
duces troubleshooting time and cost.
Alert file — This file maintains the
last 25 alert messages in memory. This
function provides prognostic informa-
tion and corrective actions that can
avoid unit shutdown.
Configuration data backup —
Non-volatile memory provides
protection during power failures and
eliminates time consuming control
reconfiguration.

Microprocessor controls
Microprocessor controls provide the safety, interlock, ca-
pacity control, indications and accessibility necessary to
operate the chiller in a safe and efficient manner.
Control system
The microprocessor control on each Carrier chiller is
factory-mounted, factory-wired, and factory-tested to
ensure machine protection and efficient capacity control.
In addition, the program logic ensures proper starting,
stopping, and recycling of the chiller and provides a com-
munication link to the Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN)
system.

Control sequence
To start Local start-up (manual start-up) is initiated by
pressing the LOCAL or CCN menu softkey, which is indi-
cated on the default international chiller visual control
(ICVC) screen. Time schedule 01 or 03, respectively, must
be in the Occupied mode and the internal 15-minute start-
to-start and the 1-minute stop-to-start inhibit timers must
have expired. All pre-start safeties are checked to verify
that all prestart alerts and safeties are within limits (if one is
not, an indication of the fault displays and the start will be
delayed or is aborted). The signal is sent to start the cooler
liquid pump. Five seconds later, the condenser liquid pump
is energized. If satisfied, it checks the chilled liquid temper-
ature against the control point. If the temperature is less
than or equal to the chilled liquid control point, the con-
denser liquid pump is deenergized and the chiller goes into
a recycle mode.
If the chilled liquid temperature is high enough, the start-
up sequence continues. The oil pump is started and waits a
minimum of 45 sec to verify oil flow. Once oil flow is veri-
fied, the VFD is energized. The control will monitor for a
phase reversal condition. At this time, the following occurs:
The “start-to-stop” timer is activated.
The “compressor on-time” and “service on-time” timers
are activated.
The “starts in 12-hour counter” advances by one.
The “total compressor starts counter” advances by one.
Once started — If the VFD average current >5% within
15 seconds after VFD start, the machine enters run mode
and speed will be ramped up to meet VFD target speed.
Once the target speed is met the controls, enter the capac-
ity control mode.
Shutdown sequence — The chiller shutdown is initiated
if any of the following occur:
The Stop button is pressed for at least one second (the
alarm light blinks once to confirm the stop command).
A recycle shutdown is initiated.
The time schedule has gone into unoccupied mode.
The chiller protective limit has been reached and the
chiller is in alarm.
The start/stop status is overridden to stop from the
ICVC, CCN system, or building management system.
Once the controls shutdown sequence is initiated, the
compressor is stopped and the VFD target speed is set to 0.
If optional soft stop unloading is activated when the Stop
button is pressed or the remote contacts open, motor
speed decreases to a configured amperage level, and the
compressor is stopped. The display indicates “Shutdown in
Progress” while the motor speed decreases. Compressor
ontime and service ontime timers stop once the current in
all phases is <5%, indicating a VFD Stop Complete. The oil
pump and cooler liquid pump are then deenergized. The
condenser liquid pump shuts down when the refrigerant
temperature or entering condenser liquid temperature is be-
low pre-established limits. The 3-minute start-to-stop timer
starts.
Restart — Restart is permitted after both inhibit timers
have expired. If shutdown was due to a safety shutdown,
the reset button must be depressed before restarting the
chiller.

Vent and drain connections
Nozzle-in-head waterboxes have vent and drain connec-
tions on covers. Marine waterboxes have vent and drain
connections on waterbox shells.
Provide high points of the chiller piping system with vents
and the low points with drains. If shutoff valves are provid-
ed in the main liquid pipes near the unit, a minimal amount
of system liquid is lost when the heat exchangers are
drained. This reduces the time required for drainage and
saves on the cost of re-treating the system liquid.
It is recommended that pressure gages be provided at
points of entering and leaving liquid to measure pressure
drop through the heat exchanger. Gages may be installed
as shown in Pressure Gage Location table. Pressure gages
installed at the vent and drain connections do not include
nozzle pressure losses.
Use a reliable differential pressure gage to measure pres-
sure differential when determining liquid flow. Regular gag-
es of the required pressure range do not have the accuracy
to provide accurate measurement of flow conditions.
PRESSURE GAGE LOCATION
ASME stamping
All 23XRV heat exchangers are constructed in accordance
with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerat-
ing, and Air Conditioning Engineers) 15 Safety Code for
Mechanical Refrigeration (latest edition). This code, in
turn, requires conformance with ASME (American Society
of Mechanical Engineers) Code for Unfired Pressure Ves-
sels wherever applicable.
Each heat exchanger and economizer (if equipped) is
ASME ‘U’ stamped on the refrigerant side of each vessel.
Relief valve discharge pipe sizing
See page 21 for number of relief valves.
Relief valve discharge piping size should be calculated
per the current version of the ASHRAE 15, latest edition,
code using the tabulated C factors for each vessel shown in
the table below.
23XRV RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE PIPE SIZING
Carrier further recommends that an oxygen sensor be
installed to protect personnel. Sensor should be able to
sense the depletion or displacement of oxygen in the ma-
chine room below 19.5% volume oxygen per ASHRAE

Insulation
23XRV MINIMUM FIELD-INSTALLED INSULATION
REQUIREMENTS
Factory insulation — Thermal insulation is factory-
provided to the following areas:
Cooler (not including waterbox)
Suction line
Compressor and motor
Oil cooling line and oil return system line (oil and refrig-
erant lines at or near evaporator pressure are insulated)
VFD cooling line (oil and refrigerant lines at or near
evaporator pressure are insulated)
Motor cooling line
• Vaporizer
Liquid line and discharge line
Float chamber
Optional economizer (including vent line and econo-
mizer muffler)
Factory insulation is not available for the waterboxes.
Insulation applied at the factory is 1/2-in. (13 mm) thick
closed cell and 1/2-in. (13 mm) open cell PVC-Nitrile foam.
Some parts of the chiller are also treated with an outer
layer of 3/16-in. (5 mm) thick vinyl. The 1/2-in. (13 mm)
closed cell foam has a thermal conductivity K value of
0.28 (BTU in.)/(hr sqft °F) [0.0404 W/(m °C)] and
conforms with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard
94, Classification 94 HF-1. Both the 1/2-in. foam and the
3/16-in. vinyl layer will pass flammability test method
MVSS 302.
Field insulation — As indicated in the Condensation vs
Relative Humidity table, the factory insulation provides
excellent protection against condensation under most op-
erating conditions. If temperatures in the equipment area
exceed the maximum design conditions, extra insulation is
recommended.
If the machine is to be field insulated, obtain the approx-
imate areas from the 23XRV Minimum Field-Installed Insu-
lation Requirements table.
Insulation of waterbox is made only in the field and this
area is not included in 23XRV Minimum Field-Installed In-
sulation Requirements table. When insulating the covers,
allow for service access and removal of covers. To estimate
water-box cover areas, refer to certified drawings.
High humidity jobsite locations may require field sup-
plied and installed insulation on the float chamber, suction
housing, and the lower half of the condenser.
CONDENSATION VS RELATIVE HUMIDITY*
*These approximate figures are based on 35 F (1.7 C) saturated suction
temperature. A 2° F (1.1° C) change in saturated suction temperature
changes the relative humidity values by 1% in the same direction.
Minimum fluid loop volume
Minimum fluid volume must be in excess of 1.5 gal per ton
(20 L per kW) for comfort cooling applications and apply 3
to 5 gal per ton (40 to 66 L per kW) fluid loop volume for
process applications.
