I'm curious to know if the Apex can send emails when the condenser is actually running. I'm thinking the output is using more than X kilowatt when the condenser is running then when it's just simply on?

Yes, but it will get real annoying real fast. Much better option is to send an email when the condenser is running and the wattage draw is outside of normal limits.

See the Advanced alarms topic. Pick the Watts input which corresponds to the chiller’s EB832 outlet. For example, if the outlet is named Chilller, the watts input will be ChillerW. Set the high and low alarm triggers as desired.
Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
Create a virtual outlet. (I am assuming below your outlet is called Chiller). With a condenser, IME the guide is wrong to suggest using watts for the high value. What you want is amp draw because a stall in the condenser will only increase watts a small amount (20% or so) whereas amps will be 4-6 times normal level. Set X to be 75% of normal wattage draw. Set Y to be 150% or normal amp draw.
ChillFail
Set OFF
If Output Chiller Watts < X Then ON
If Output Chiller Amps > Y Then ON
If Outlet Chiller = OFF Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
(Existing code)
If Outlet ChillFail = ON Then ON
