Richard, I´m usind the table objects as you described, but things are not working as expected. According to the chillers data, they should get the best COP at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the total load (actualy at 25% the COP should be the highest).I only get high COP at 100%, because aparently EIR function PLR curve only decreases along with the part load rate, instead of having those four "peaks". Here it is my input for the three curves, please tell me if you check any inconsistence.
