Now that you know how to do this and understand it, I
might direct you to the Table objects where you can enter
data pairs, normalize the data, create performance curves,
interpolate tables, extrapolate tables, or ride the
performance curve created with the table. It's a little
tricky to get used to the format, but once you do they
work very well.
Table:OneIndependentVariable (used for EIRFPLR)
Table:TwoIndependentVariables (used for CAPFT and EIRFT)

On the Info sheet. I would suggest more explanations. Copy
this into your spreadsheet. Then upload it.
This is a spreadsheet used for calculating the CAPFT,
EIRFT and EIRFPLR performance curves which are needed to
model a chiller in EnergyPlus. For example, the
"Chiller:Electric:EIR", or
Chiller:Eelctric:ReformulatedEIR" models.
The data that we need from the manufacturer depends on the
chiller model selected for simulation. The
Chiller:Electric:EIR model uses leaving evaporator water
temperature and entering condenser air or water
temperature. The Chiller:Electric:ReformulatedEIR model
uses leaving evaporator water temperature and leaving
condenser air or water temperature To create the CAPFT
performance curve, cooling capacity at several different
conditions of supply chilled water temperature (outlet or
leaving evaporator water temperature) and the condenser
inlet or outlet water or air temperature is needed. The
more data available, the better the performance curve. The
data needed for the EIRFT curve is cooling capacity and
power for different operating conditions (same conditions
as CAPFT).
The data that we need from the manufacturer for the
EIRFPLR curve are the cooling capacity and power for
different Part Load Ratios or Loading Ratios (%).
These curves must be normalized to 1 at the rating point.
This means that capacity data needs to be divided by the
rated capacity. for EIR, the power divided by capacity is
used, and also normalized by dividing by the rated EIR.
On the CAPFT, EIRFT, and EIRFPLR sheets, I would change
Unit Rate to Power. You could also add units to make
things very clear (e.g., Power (W), Capacity (W), etc.
Good job.

Hi again Richard and other reader,if there are.
I have the spreadsheet, I think is ready for
uploading it to the files area.
If you can check it,I will be grateful.
Thanks,
