Timothy,
   Unfortunately, there is no water cooled chiller model in the standard 
library. You will need to use Type42, which is a generic data 
interpolater, and you will need to find manufacturer's catalog data file 
and put the full and part load performance data from the catalog into 
the Type42 data file format. The cooling tower model should be no 
trouble; there is a cooling tower model in the standard library 
(Type51). There are a few cooling coil models in the standard library 
(Types32 and 52). I would recommend that you try and use Type52 even 
though it is the more detailed of the two models. If you are able to 
obtain the TESS HVAC Library, you will find both a water cooled chiller 
and some other simplified cooling coil models that would make your task 
a good bit easier.
Kind regards,
  David
