You may be able to use the Refrigeration:TransferLoadList to do this but I have not personally attempted this.
That being said, you may want to just create separate compressor(s) that serve the HVAC to simplify things. You won't lose much accuracy by doing this because EnergyPlus doesn't really account for the part-load performance of refrigeration compressor racks to begin with :( Compressor rack performance is solely dependant on the discharge and suction temperatures.

Are you using the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet to model this?

Are you using the ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet to model this?this? This should be doable if that's the case.
You If you're using a Refrigeration:CompressorRack to model the compressors you may be able to use the Refrigeration:TransferLoadList to do this connect the thermal storage to the walk-ins but I have not personally attempted this.
That being said, you may want to just create separate compressor(s) that serve I would recommend using the HVAC to simplify things. You won't lose much accuracy by doing this ZoneHVAC:RefrigerationChillerSet approach because EnergyPlus doesn't really account for the part-load performance of refrigeration compressor racks Refrigeration:CompressorRack's to begin with :( Compressor rack performance is solely dependant on the discharge and suction temperatures.
