I believe the EnergyPlus database you're referring to is the one in C:\EnergyPlusVX-X-X\DataSets\Chillers.idf. This file has curves for 163 different chiller models from various manufacturers. However, it states "Performance curves developed from information collected over a 10-year period from 1991 to 2001", so it's a bit dated.
Also of use related to this are the 'HVACCurveFitTool' (C:\EnergyPlusVX-X-X\PreProcess\HVACCurveFitTool) which produces curves in IDF format from manufacturer data, and 'CoeffConv' (C:\EnergyPlusVX-X-X\PreProcess\CoeffConv), which converts performance curves from IP (i.e. eQUEST/DOE2) to SI units (i.e. EnergyPlus).
