OILFIELD TOUGH!
When you make your living in the oilfield, the trucks you use can make or break
your chances at success. Whether you’re looking for standard day cabs or specialized
severe-duty platforms, don’t gamble with your future – come by and take a look at a Western
Star. Ready to take on the toughest challenges and the most extreme conditions, Western Star
is the only truck being manufactured today that doesn’t require external radiators or cooling
modifications to handle stationary applications like oilfield frac jobs. No matter what the task,
when it comes to heavy hauls of any kind, it’s no sweat with a Western Star.

ParkSmart System Operation
™
One of the sleeper climate control options in newer model Freightliner vehicles is the ParkSmart system. This system is designed to
allow the driver to maintain the temperature of the truck’s sleeper
compartment for a few hours without idling the engine. This
article will discuss the operation and component locations for the
ParkSmart system in Cascadia vehicles. Next month’s article will provide troubleshooting
tips for the system.
■ ParkSmart System Function
The Cascadia auxiliary HVAC ParkSmart climate control unit is mounted in place of the standard auxiliary
Cascadia HVAC unit. It is located inside the bottom
cabinet that is directly behind the driver’s seat. Figure
1 illustrates the location of the ParkSmart unit with the
cabinet removed. This system operates in two modes.
When the engine is running and the truck is driven down
the road, the ParkSmart unit works with the front HVAC
unit to heat and cool the sleeper compartment. When
the vehicle is parked and the engine is not running, the
ParkSmart unit may be used to maintain the temperaFigure 1 – ParkSmart Unit
ture inside the sleeper compartment using electrical
power from a set of auxiliary batteries typically located (shown with cabinet removed)
in a battery box behind the cab and between the frame rails. There are two very important things
to remember about the ParkSmart system.
1. When operating in parked mode, the ParkSmart HVAC unit does not have enough heating
or cooling capacity to heat up a cold cab or cool down a hot cab. It is designed just to maintain
the temperature inside the sleeper compartment when the truck is parked and shutdown. The
sleeper curtains should always be closed when operating the ParkSmart unit in parked mode.
2. The ParkSmart unit contains a standalone refrigerant loop system that operates independently of the trucks HVAC system. The unit has its own compressor, condenser, evaporator, and
so forth. The refrigerant loop components
Water Pump (inside Espar unit)
are not serviceable. If there is a failure of
the refrigerant loop components or it loses

its refrigerant charge, the unit must be
replaced as an assembly.

engine coolant through the heater core
inside the ParkSmart unit. An electrically driven water pump located inside the Espar unit circulates coolant when the engine is not running. When the engine is running the engine’s water
pump circulates engine coolant through the heater core. The Espar diesel-fired coolant heater is
mounted under the floor of the sleeper compartment and is plumbed into the heater loop coming
from the engine (see Figure 2). It draws diesel fuel from one of the vehicle’s fuel tanks through a
standpipe installed in the top of the tank.

When the truck is parked and the engine is off the

ParkSmart system may be started by pressing the
“Park” button located in the center of the temperature

control knob on the Auxiliary Control Unit mounted on
the sleeper control panel (see Figure 3). An LED in the
PARK button illuminates for 8 seconds when the button is pressed and will stay illuminated if the parked

HVAC unit responds to the “wake-up” request.
When the key is off and the blower speed switch is
in any position other than 0, pressing the “PARK” Figure 3 – Sleeper Control Panel
button puts the ParkSmart system in the parked mode. The unit will draw current from all eight
batteries on the truck until the voltage of the main batteries reaches 12.5V. When this occurs
the power supply from the main batteries will be shutoff by the Battery Separator to maintain
electrical power for cranking the engine. The battery separator consists of a 300 amp bi-stable
relay and an integrated control module (see Figure 4).It is typically mounted inside the left-hand
frame rail even with the rear of the cab. A bi-stable relay requires current to switch it from open to
closed, but requires no current to hold it closed or open. The ParkSmart system will continue to
operate using power from only the four auxiliary batteries until their voltage drops to 11.3V for 10

seconds. When that happens the ParkSmart system will go
into its own low voltage disconnect mode and shut down.
When the engine is running and the alternator is charging,
as soon as the charging voltage reaches 13.5V the battery
separator will close and connect both sets of batteries to
the charging system. Trucks that are equipped with the
ParkSmart system will also be equipped with a 270 Amp
remote sensed alternator to insure that there is enough
charging amperage to operate the truck accessories and
keep both sets of batteries charged.
Control of the refrigeration compressor, condenser fan
motor, and evaporator blower motor (all located inside Figure 4 – Battery Separator
the ParkSmart unit) and the Espar diesel-fired coolant heater (located under the sleeper floor)
is provided by the Control PCB Assembly. It is located inside the ParkSmart unit and under the
Fuse and Relay Control Center and Evaporator Blower.

Figure 5 – Fuse and Relay Control Center
Circuit protection for the components in the ParkSmart unit is provided by
five fuses located in the Fuse and Relay control Center located on top of the
ParkSmart unit (see Figure 5). Fuse functions are:
F1 (60A Maxi-Fuse) provides power for the variable speed refrigeration compressor
located inside the ParkSmart unit.
F2 (15A Mini-Fuse) provides power for the unit controls.
F3 (20A Mini-Fuse) provides power for the diesel-fired Espar coolant heater.
F4 (50A Maxi-Fuse) provides power for the blower motor.
F5 (15A Mini-Fuse) provides power for the condenser fan motor located inside the
ParkSmart unit.
There are also four relays located in the control center.
The functions of these relays are:
LS1 – controls the voltage to the controlling section of the Control PCB Assembly when
in the Engine On mode.
LS2 – controls the voltage to the condenser fan motor and the evaporator blower motor
when in the Engine On mode.
LS3 – controls the voltage to the compressor controlling section of the Control PCB
assembly when in the Parked mode or Engine Off-Key On mode.
LS4 – controls the voltage to the condenser fan motor and evaporator blower motor
when in the Parked Mode or Engine Off-Key On mode.
■ Conclusion
Next months article will provide more detail about troubleshooting complaints with the ParkSmart
system. One important thing to remember though is that driver complaints with this system may
come from expectations that are unrealistic or from operating the system incorrectly. Selecting
high blower speeds and cold temperature set points in extremely hot weather will use more power
from the auxiliary battery set and cause the system to shut down early. The Cascadia Driver’s
manual provides guidelines for how long the unit will operate in various conditions. Weak batteries
will also cause the system to shut down prematurely. These batteries are Absorbed Glass Mat
(AGM) batteries. Refer to Freightliner Service Bulletin 54-250 before testing these AGM batteries. This bulletin provides new testing procedures for AGM batteries using both the Midtronics
tester and a carbon pile load tester. It also provides definite load amperages for both models of
AGM batteries used in these vehicles. Troubleshooting information for the ParkSmart system
in Cascadia vehicles may be found in the Cascadia Troubleshooting Manual section C02.03.
