From the EnergyPlus documentation, AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow have a field named 'condenser type', but in OpenStudio documentation, there is no such field for AirConditionerVariableRefrigerantFlow.

So I just wonder, are there some methods to change to water cooled condenser, so that I can add it into a condenser water loop?

As far as I can tell you can't right now. No matter what I tried, I cannot add the VRF unit to a plant Loop, even after using a trick to force it to be water cooled (vrf.setString(56, "WaterCooled")). I think you need to create an EnergyPlus Measure for this. @Kyle Benne, can you confirm?
