Dear Hisham,
An autosizing value always represent the entire load serve by the autosized component. When there is more than one component (e.g., chillers) on a single loop, EACH component is assigned 100% of the autosize value. Not very intuitive, but that’s how it works in E+.
If you want each chiller to have 50% of the autosized value, assign 0.50 to the “Sizing Factor”.
