[TRNSYS-users] Chiller curves

Most of the chiller models in Trnsys are performance maps. An external 
file gives chiller capacity and power consumption as a function of the 
entering conditions on the evaporator and condenser sides. Because of 
that the chiller's working fluids and the refrigerant don't really 
matter to the model. You'll need to go to a manufacturer's website 
online and find performance data for the chiller (or at least for the 
kind of chiller) that you want to use and you'll need to remake the 
external file(s) accordingly.

kind regards,
