The other is to generate your own curves. Many years ago when I used to work in VisualDOE, I found the calculation methodology to define chiller curves from the Pacific Gas & Electric web site, which I used to set up a spreadsheet to calculate the curve coefficients. This was originally set up for constant speed chillers. A number of months ago I added a spreadsheet tab to handle variable speed chillers. To create the 3 sets of curve coefficients, at least 10 full load data points at different chilled and condenser water temperatures were required from the manufacturer in order to map the compressor.
